well, I like it because it has attackspeed and AD, and I really like those two in a champion<3 GJ

Better build than "Darius the Dashing" by RRobert but still flawed... NO MANAMUNE...EVER! lol

Also, I find that although Frozen Mallet is good early and mid game, Phantom Dancer allows you to attack a ton and Hemorrhage stacks reduce cooldown of your W which lets you spam it (it has a slow)... I would buy something like Force of Nature or Frozen Heart (yes, Frozen Heart, and idc who says otherwise lol) depending on your situation.

My build looks something like: Boots (whatever you need) Phantom Dancer (or Black Cleaver if you need it), Infinity Edge and then 3 defensive items (Ex. Warmog's, Aegis, Force of Nature, Randuins or Frozen Heart, etc.).

For a clear understand of why I build this way, check out my comment in the comment section of the "Darius the Dashing" guide that I just posted on. I believe that I'm the 3rd post or so.

From one Darius lover to another, good luck and good hacking and slashing!

I have replaced the manamune to multiple requests, I believe the replacement will be far more suitable.

why manamune?

Thank you sinfuljames355, thats a good idea. I like the idea of having mana earlier when most people would need it. I'll update the guide either later today or sometime soon.

NeshkeBGD, I noticed you listed characters with very easy means to escape. Wukong's Warrior Trickster, Shen's Shadow Dash, Singed's Fling, and Riven's Broken Wings and Valor. These all can deal massive damage to [[Darius or be used to get away. This guide was made to help keep up with them. I never guaranteed anything.

Christhelegend, If you get a few stacks of Hemorrhage on each person in a team fight, while still attacking with regular attacks and abilities, I feee the Hextech Gunblade will keep you with at least decent amount of health throughout the fight.

Te Curt, I'll look at your guide soon.

In early game,yes darius is considered squishy,and the only times you should buy zeal and vamp scepeter early game are when you are either on a TT with a tanky team or when yous lane is too easy for darius.Manamune is a bad decision due to the fact that in the spot that manamune is taking,you could have added a better item for darius such as maw of malmortius.I am not even about thinking of a hextech gunblade,its just a joke o darius........

I would like to see alternative runes and situational items for this guide and even though I don't completely agree with the build, I will give this a +1.

Also, if you get the time, come check out my Jax guide. Thanks.

This is absolutely not good way to build Darius.If you want me to up-vote this,make another build,not guide,but build beside this one,but the tanky one.

If I were you I would configure the early game items more, I'd rather get the vampiric sceptre earlier than zeal because you most likely will need the extra sustain against your laning opponent. Also if you are goint to build Manamune (imo) you should get the tear of the goddess a bit earlier in the game so you have an extra boost for when you finally do get the item. I wouldn't go as far as to say rush the tear of the goddess, but it would help if you got it before your phantom dancer or bloodthirster maybe. Just my opinion
