Is Darius better when played alongside Neeko?

There is no top ally for Darius that will 100% of the time be his ideal ally. Yet, overall, Neeko is a very typical ally for Darius. By locking into the same side as Darius, she lowers their win rate by -0.8% to 48.4%. This shows that there is only a small bond between Darius and Neeko that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Neeko has a greater difficulty than Darius. That means you must be cautious when lining up Neeko teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to play well with you.

When playing cooperatively, Darius players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Conversely, by aligning Darius and Neeko together, you may not be giving your side enough tankyness. We recommend you include other champions on your team that offsets this relative gap in their capabilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Neeko ally, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
