Who Wins
- Darius wins pre-6 through superior base stats and E pull into extended trades.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R but Darius still wins straight 1v1s if he lands E or gets 5 stacks.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trade is Q poison trail while running away, never committing to extended fights.
- Use W slow to disengage after applying poison damage, avoiding his Q outer ring and E pull range.
Wave Control
- Push waves early with Q to force Darius to last hit under tower and lose CS.
- Maintain constant pressure by proxy farming between his towers once you have enough items to survive jungle ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight Darius in extended trades or when he has ghost available.
- Avoid getting pulled by his E as it guarantees he gets 5 stacks and kills you with R execute.
