[10.18] Darius / The Hand of Noxus (Work in Progress)

By GodMulti
Welcome to Noxus
Hello, my name is Wolf. I have been playing League since season 5.
And this is a guide for "The Hand of Noxus" Darius.

Darius is an incredible Toplaner I love playing him, he is one of my first champs that I played with and til this date I still enjoy playing him sooo much, he is so fun to play and I have about 260k mastery Points on him and IĀ“m still surprised by how easy it is to extremely snowball a game with him. BIG DARIUS FAN <3

They will regret opposing me

Summoner Spells
Flash
Teleport

For Summoner-Spells you have to take Flash for the first spell, for the 2nd one you have a choice between Ghost,
Teleport and Ignite.
You have to carefully choose which one you pick, because it could change the output of the game:

Ghost: You take ghost when you are 100% sure that you will dominate your lane and when the enemy Team has a lot of kitting potential.
Teleport: You can take Teleport with you whenever you want. If you are behind you can tp to your lane, if you are ahead you can make tp plays on other lanes and bring them ahead too. It is my favorit Summoner spell for Darius.
Ignite: Ignite is rarely a good choice, but if you end up in a lane were you will dominate 100% and the enemy team is a full squishy one, then take it. Or if there is a Mundo against you, your Ignite will reduce his healing a lot.
Ability Explanation
  • Hemorrhage: Darius' basic attacks and damaging abilities that strike with his blade cause enemies to bleed for 5 seconds, dealing 13 āˆ’ 30 (based on level) (+ 30% bonus AD) physical damage over the duration. The bleeding will trigger every 1.25 seconds, and can stack up to 5 times, for a maximum of 65 āˆ’ 150 (based on level) (+ 150% bonus AD) physical damage over the duration.

    Upon applying full Hemorrhage stacks (5) to an enemy Champion or killing one with Noxian Guillotine , Darius gains Noxian Might for 5 seconds.

    Noxian Might: (Passive) Darius gains 30 āˆ’ 230 (based on level) bonus attack damage and instantly applies full Hemorrhage stacks whenever he hits a champion with his abilities or by simply auto attacking them.

  • Decimate (Q): Darius prepares his axe for 0.75 seconds, then swings it around himself, dealing physical damage to nearby enemies, reduced to 35% against enemies hit by the shaft.

    Darius heals for 12% āˆ’ 36% (based on enemy champions hit by the blade, maximum 3 enemys) missing health. The handle of Darius' axe will not apply Hemorrhage or heal him.

  • Crippling Strike (W): Darius' next basic attack within 4 seconds gains 25 bonus range, deals bonus physical damage and slows the target by 90% for 1 second.
    Crippling Strike can critically strike for 100% bonus physical damage.
    If Crippling Strike kills its target it refunds its mana cost and half of its cooldown.
    Crippling Strike resets Darius's autoattack timer.

  • Apprehend (E):
    Passive: Darius gains 15/20/25/30/35% Armor Penetration.
    Active: Pulls in all enemies in front of Darius and slows them by 40% for 1 second.

  • Noxian Guillotine (THE DUNK): After leaping for 0.25 seconds, Darius attempts to execute the targeted enemy champion, dealing true damage, increased by 0% āˆ’ 100% (based on Hemorrhage stacks). If Noxian Guillotine kills its target, Darius causes all nearby minions and monsters to flee in terror for 3 seconds during which they are rapidly slowed by up to 99% over the duration, and Darius is able to recast the Ult Noxian Guillotine within the next 20 seconds at no additional cost. This can occur multiple times in succession.
    At rank 3, if Noxian Guillotine kills its target, its cooldown resets completely, so you basically can ult whenever you want again.

Darius Biography

Darius and his brother Draven grew up as orphans in the port city of Basilich. Darius struggled to provide for them both, constantly fighting with gangs of older urchins and anyone else who threatened his little brotherā€”even the city guard. Every day on the streets was a battle for survival, and Darius earned more scars by his twelfth summer than some soldiers do in a lifetime.

After Basilich was seized by the expanding Noxian empire, the victorious commander Cyrus saw the strength in these defiant brothers, and they found a home within the ranks of his warhost. Over the years, they fought in many grueling campaigns of conquest from one end of the known world to the other, as well as crushing a number of rebellions against the throne.

Within the empire, anyone could rise to power, no matter their birth, culture, or background, and none embraced this ideal more fervently than Darius. From humble beginnings, he rose steadily through the ranks, always putting duty before all else, and garnering great respect for his aggression, discipline, and refusal to ever take a backward step. On the bloodsoaked fields of Dalamor Plain, he even beheaded a Noxian general after the coward ordered a retreat. Roaring in defiance and hefting his bloodied axe overhead, Darius rallied the scattered warbands and won a great and unexpected victory against a far more numerous foe.

He was rewarded with a senior command of his own, attracting many thousands of eager recruits from across the empire. Darius turned the majority away, accepting only the strongest, the most disciplined and iron-willed. Such was his fearsome notoriety, even in the lands beyond Noxus, that it was not uncommon for entire cities to surrender at the first sight of his banners.

After a grinding victory against the cloud-fortresses of the Varju, a proud warrior people who had resisted decades of Noxian aggression, Darius was named the Hand of Noxus by Emperor Boram Darkwill himself. Those who knew Darius best knew he craved neither power nor adulationā€”he wished merely to see Noxus triumph over allā€”so Darkwill ordered him and his warhosts far north into the Freljord, to finally bring the barbarian tribes to heel.

The campaign dragged on for years, ending in a bitter, icy stalemate. Darius narrowly survived assassination attempts, ambushes, and even capture by the vicious Winterā€™s Claw. He was growing weary of endless wars of attrition, and returned to Noxus to demand a reconsolidation of the military.

He marched his veterans into the capital, only to find that the emperor was dead, killed in a coup led by Jericho Swain. The act had been supported by many allies, including Dariusā€™s own brother, Draven.

This was a difficult position. As Hand, many of the noble houses would expect Darius to avenge Darkwill, but he had known and greatly respected the disgraced general Swain, and had spoken against his discharge after the botched offensive in Ionia some years earlier. The oaths of the Hand were to Noxus, not any particular ruler, and Swain was a man who spoke honestly of his new vision for the empire. Darius realized this was a leader he was prepared to follow... but Swain had other ideas.

With the establishment of the Trifarix, three individuals would rule Noxus together, each embodying one principle of strength: Vision, Might, and Guile. Darius gladly accepted his place on this council, and pledged to raise a new, elite forceā€”the Trifarian Legion, the most loyal and prestigious warriors the empire could produceā€”and lead the armies of Noxus into a glorious new age of conquest.
