Who Wins
- You lose early levels 1-3 due to Darius's superior base damage and Q healing advantage in extended trades.
- At level 6, you gain a significant advantage with R's execution potential and fear, allowing you to all-in when he's around 50% HP.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves Q-ing through him to avoid his Q sweetspot, then using W movement speed to disengage before he can stack passive.
- Never commit to extended trades without R available, as his passive will outdamage your sustain in prolonged fights.
Wave Control
- You should focus on freezing the wave near your tower and only last-hitting with Q when necessary.
- This forces him to overextend for farm while keeping you safe from ganks and allowing your passive healing to keep you healthy.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never try to match his early aggression or fight in his minion wave where he can easily land Q sweetspots.
- Avoid using Q as a gap closer without an escape plan, as getting caught in his E range with stacked passive means certain death.
