Range champions are a hindrance for Darius especially ones with cc that can deny Darius a kill wait for them to come close or make a mistake and build a defensive item first rather than Black Cleaver but if you get a lead, build the first part of the defensive item and then build Cleaver

Dr. Mundo
Tanks aren't a problem for Darius by building black cleaver first for the armor shred and your bleed, but if you have trouble with them take ignite so if you proc 5 stacks ignite them at the same time for a guaranteed kill
Cho'Gath
See Mundo, also just avoid his cc and you'll be fine, silences aren't too big of a deal
Kled
He has some pretty high mobility and damage as well as a bit of cc plus his invulnerability when switching forms, pull when he makes a mistake and you'll be set
Malphite
See Mundo and Cho
Nasus
See Mundo
Poppy
See Mundo
Garen
Easiest tank to kill see Mundo
Jax
A fairly squishy target use your slows and w before or after is stun and careful of his late game
Gangplank
See Riven, careful of his range and late game damage though
Renekton
Careful of his stun and he bullies you early but late game is easy 1v1's
Irelia
Can 1v1 you later in the game, not too big of a threat early on
Olaf
See Mundo, his ult will be a pain but saving your e and running away or chasing him down till he's out of it helps
Riven
A fairly squishy target, use your slows right and easy lane
Sion
See Mundo
Shen
See Mundo also just use abilities inside his anti-aa circle
Lissandra
See Riven (Pulling while she is in mid cast of her e helps)
Quinn
See Kennen
Yasuo
See Riven
Pantheon
See Riven and Renekton
Rumble
See Riven, don't be afraid of his flames they won't do much if you buy Spectre's Cowl first
Yorick

Fiora

Aatrox
Can beat you in a 1v1 if he has his passive up and does enough damage, otherwise he's a pushover
Akali
See Riven (Pink wards help as always)
Heimerdinger
There's virtually nothing you can do in this lane except capitalize on mistakes and wait for help (if there is any) and hope to make it to late game
Teemo
See Riven, wait for a mistake don't try and grab him on the edge if you can
Master Yi
See Riven, when he has ult poke him down with your q if you can he'll beat you if he gets right on top of you with his ult activated and has enough room to chase you down and dodge everything so wait for him to be low or use a ke ability
Gnar
See Kennen
Illaoi
This one is mainly a skill matchup wait for her to use or miss her e that's when her ult will be weak if it hits solely you
Jarvan IV
See Riven
Ekko
See Mundo and Riven
Graves
Yes he has range over you but it's considerably less than most, the biggest worry is his kite, use your slows properly and no big deal
Hecarim
See Mundo, use your slows
Singed
You can outrade him early and possibly later, but Singed is a crafty matchup since he may proxy or rush Zz'Rot, just do what you can in the situation and build mr and Cleaver (Also don't chase per standard)
Deadman's plate is a good source of speed and a slow but the slow doesn't last long enough to keep them from kiting away but instead if you hook them in and your w is down from earlier activate your Randuin's for a long longer slow and if you get the Zz'rot Portal as your last item you move just as fast while in lane
Why Death's Dance?
Why Death's Dance?
Death's Dance provides much more damage than Titanic hydra or Sterak's Gauge could plus since your Q caps out at a certain healing percentage Death's Dance you could provide a bit more of that, not to mention it also gives you a bit of tankiness with it's passive of taking a certain amount of damage over time instead of immediately
