Guide to Synergizing Nasus and Darius

Tips for Playing as Nasus with Darius

Paying attention to last hitting with Siphoning Strike will have a large impact at the end of a game.

If you're solo, Spirit Fire is a great way to farm a lane. It can be bad if you're in a lane with 2 and you push too far. Find the right balance between Siphoning Strike last hits and AoE farming.

If you have low defenses, people will focus you down even during your ultimate. Try buying some survivability items even in your DPS builds.

Advice to Understand How Darius Will Play

Noxian Guillotine does more damage the more attacks you can land prior to it. Use Noxian Might to deal maximum damage.

Darius benefits greatly from enhanced survivability. The longer you can prolong a fight, the more powerful he becomes.

Decimate is a powerful harassment ability. Strike an enemy from maximum range for the greatest effect.

Is Nasus better when played alongside Darius?

By being on the same team as Nasus, he lowers their win rate by -4.2% to 46.1%. This signals that there is a very bad bond between Nasus and Darius that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Darius has a much lower diffuclty than Nasus. That means Nasus players don't need to be cautious when enlisting Darius teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Playing alongside, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by aligning Nasus and Darius together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates a great deal of utility. Plan to pick other champs on your team that nullifies this relative gap in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Darius ally, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
