How to Play Darius: Lane and Teamfight Guide

Darius wins by completing passive stacks while keeping the fight inside his preferred range. Before pulling, check the escape path, minion wave and enemy jungler position.

Laning

Landing the outer Q changes both damage and sustain. Extend after a key enemy cooldown is wasted, but do not chase near their tower. Freezing on your side increases the threat of pull and ganks.

Teamfights

Build stacks on a reachable frontline instead of chasing the carry. Once empowered, switch targets and use the ultimate only when the reset is reliable. Follow allied engage rather than walking alone into crowd control. See our LoL guides.
