Who Wins
- You win extended trades pre-6 with Q spam and W sustain, but must respect Darius Q outer ring and passive stacks.
- Post-6 your R negates his E pull, giving you strong all-in potential if you can stick to him.
How to Trade
- Start trades with Q to slow, then run him down with W active and more axes while weaving autos.
- Keep axes available by positioning to pick them up, as your DPS drops significantly without them.
Wave Control
- Maintain a slow push or freeze to create longer lanes where you can run Darius down effectively.
- Avoid hard shoving as Darius can freeze and zone you from CS with his superior short trade potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't trade without axes available as your damage and sticking power become negligible.
- Avoid fighting in tight spaces where you can't pick up axes or when your W is on cooldown, as you lose sustain advantage.
