Who Wins
- You lose early 1v1s levels 1-3 due to Darius's superior base stats and Q healing, but you can start winning trades at level 6 with R engage potential.
- Your mobility with E allows you to dodge his Q outer ring and disengage before he gets 5 stacks.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is E forward, auto-Q-auto for quick burst, then snap back with E2 before he can respond with W slow or stack passive.
- Never commit to extended trades without your R up, as his sustained damage and healing will overwhelm you.
Wave Control
- Keep the wave frozen or slightly pushing toward you to create longer lanes for your E engages and escapes.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can recall, as Darius excels at running you down in short lanes when your E is on cooldown.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use E aggressively without tracking his ghost cooldown, as getting caught in melee range with no escape is death.
- Don't try to match his sustain in lane - focus on short burst trades and back off immediately.
