FAQs About Darius

What are some of Darius' greatest strengths?

Darius has a very strong early game that allows him to get ahead and stay ahead. Use your early game pressure! If you play passively, you will have a hard time catching back up in the mid- to late-game. It's important that you transition from your early game items into your final Darius build at the right time.

What's one of Darius' biggest weaknesses?

Darius can be outplayed by experienced players on ranged champions, like Teemo and Ryze. His pull has a relatively short range. If he can't get up close and personal, he's relatively ineffective. This is especially troublesome in teamfights. He can be kited too easily. If your enemies are very mobile, add some additional mobility into you LoL Darius build.

Why do some people dominate when playing Darius while I just suck?

Playing Darius is all about positioning. When he swings his axe, you need to make sure he's hitting with his blade and not the axe shaft. Don't be afraid to dive in. Your heal scales with the number of enemy's hit.
