Skilling order and starting items are just really hard to explain thoroughly in a guide, so much of it depends on junglers.

Itemwise, I haven't had that much time to play Darius top recently, trying to juggle school, updates of other guides, and playing the game myself, I think I only have ~5 games on him since the TBC nerf, will retest (the whole build not just tbc) soonish and update accordingly. Thinking of replacing BoTRK.

Haven't tested Triforce since cost reduction, will look into it, but the thing is, you can buy cleaver AND a giant's belt for the price of triforce AND TBC helps your team, Triforce doesn't. As for situational items, I wouldn't build even a third of those on darius 999 out of 1000 games, I added them in case people wanted to know why or when they would be bought, if ever.

GA lets you suicide dive or make it impossible for the enemy team to kill your ADC if you are peeling/focusing targets that dive on them with them, since you will be way too tanky with warmogs health + ga resists + revive, and you will be doing lots of damage as well. GA will not be moving out of the build.

As for sunfire cape, after the cost nerf, there is almost no situation I would ever build it on Darius over randuins. If i need armor + hp, I'll just randuins earlier, SFC is not that good on a champion who already dominates lane like Darius. As for brut rush, will be changing that soon, and getting camped is OK as long as you ward up. (Which you should be doing as anyone!)

@Bitpik, I'll see you in diamond soon bud.

eyw hocam

I didnt know Gold 1 was considered competitive

Might wanna mention getting lvl 2 or 3 pull in a case where your jungler wants to gank.
Double or single Rejuvenation Bead is much better than flask start imo.
Why not just rush Hexdrinker against ap tops?
This is an “unpopular” opinion but after it’s nerfs TBC is pretty garbage on darius, just get over it already.
I’d love to have the tri-force in the cheatsheet. MS, sheen proc, AS, Phage proc, Mana pretty much all stats on it are good for darius except for AP.
Get rid of Atma’s and Wriggles – they both suck.
Spirit Visage is garbage on darius as is mikael’s crucible
Infinity Edge is garbage on darius
Overall evaluation:
I wouldn’t know that this was a build made by a gold elo player had it not said so in the top.
The build overall is just bad and far from “competitive”. The generic build for top bruisers against AD is Sunfire rush for a reason: it’s such a powerful laning item and gives you everything you need also you’re ****ing darius man, picking darius is like putting this big sign onto your heard that says CAMP ME, with a brutaliser rush, you’re gonna get demolished from jungle pressure, if the enemy laner didn’t already 100-0 you. This build works, it’s just far from optimal and even farther from “competitive”.
My generic builds for darius are pretty much something like this:
Sunfire-warmoggs-triforce-situationals
Hexdrinker-Warmoggs-situational-triforce
Also I don’t quite understand GA being part of the core of the build since you’re prolly gonna be the last one dying in midgame teamfights.

You still have a long way to go buddy, at least from my perspective. Not bad enough for a cointoss but certainly not good enough for a +1

Nohate.

i'm downvoting this because of the item explaination and the order you put them on the guide , its too ... rough

i do agree H4's darius guide isent thet great, i really do not like that build, i rather just stick to my own build,, im tanky enought and i have a lot lot more damage

No I didnt create another account just to downvote, I voted all the Darius guides. As i said I simply think this is not an ideal guide. You should make more chapters over there and explain more things, add new things. I would appreciate a feedback on my guide aswell. Good luck

king oprahwindfury, makes an extra account on moba to downvote my guide to try to get his higher then mine and fails.

lol
