Who Wins
- You lose early 1v1s levels 1-3 as Darius has superior base stats and all-in potential with Q healing and E pull.
- At level 6, you gain significant advantage with R burst potential and can kite him more effectively with your full combo.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q poke from max range followed by immediate retreat, avoiding extended trades.
- When he uses Q or misses E, you can W-auto-E for a quick burst trade then disengage before he can retaliate.
Wave Control
- Maintain a slow push early to build minion advantage, then hard shove and roam when possible.
- Keep the wave closer to your side when ahead to deny his all-in potential while maintaining poke pressure.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight him in extended trades or when he has 5 stacks of passive, as his bleed damage and AD steroid will overwhelm you.
- Don't waste your E root on minions when he's in range to engage, as it's your only escape tool.
