Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 hard if Darius gets on top of you with ghost or flash, as his early damage and passive stacks will kill you.
- At level 6, you still lose all-ins but can start poking more safely with barrel combos from range.
How to Trade
- You want to Q poke when Darius goes for CS, then immediately back off before he can engage with E or ghost.
- Never trade autos or extended fights - your goal is quick Q harass followed by immediate retreat to avoid his pull range.
Wave Control
- You should focus on freezing the wave near your tower early to avoid Darius all-ins, using Q to last hit safely.
- After first back with Sheen, you can start slow pushing with barrels to build up minion advantages for safer trades.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never walk up to auto attack minions when Darius has E available, as his pull into W auto reset will chunk you heavily.
- Don't get greedy with barrel placements in his E range, as he can easily walk up and destroy them while threatening an all-in.
