Introduction

Hello guys!
It's my third build and it's about

Just bought him a while ago and I played couple games and damn. He's good.
This guide will mostly go for aggressive build as the last 2 builds of mine, but I will also explain how to make him more tanky.
Champion spotlight







Seizing momentum from this victory,






The masteries are for damage for early game and some defensive
for some early-game defense, not much of it, but they do help.
Those will relief the early-game damage from possible long-range attacks for example.
Almost the same as above, it's for damage and some defense, but you can spot few differences.



Runes




Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage: // This will give you a lot of damage kinda self explaining.
Greater Mark of Attack Damage: // Pick this simply, because it gives much more damage early game.
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist: // Same as below. Will give you sustain, especially against team with a lots of AP carries and it helps against those minions also.
Greater Seal of Armor: // This will help you lane and get those minion kills, also helps later on, at late game.
-Well I guess it's not even needed to explain this spell, certainly must have for a jungling build. It's the bread and butter of jungling. |

PASSIVE: //
Darius' basic attacks and damaging abilities cause enemies to bleed for 12 / 15 / 18 / 21 / 24 / 27 / 30 / 33 / 36 (+0.4 per bonus attack damage) magic damage over 5 seconds, stacking up to 5 times.
Darius gains 5% movement speed for each bleeding enemy champion.
This is one heck of a passive! You can also consider it as extra attack damage making hes base attack over 100 early-game!
Amazing passive, that reduces cooldown onApprehend and it's the bread and butter of your ultimate
Noxian Guillotine. Try to always keep your enemies bleeding, just by landing your
Decimate activates this passive
-
Decimate (Q): //
Darius deals physical damage to all nearby enemies in a circle around him. Champions in the outer half of the ability are struck by the blade, taking 50% additional damage.
Again really good ability. This is your main damaging ability early and late game. Try to stack your passive by landing this ability as often as possible early-game, because they will not only take the damage, but also get damaged byHemorrhage. It's Also excellent ability to farm minions with your passive of course.
-
Crippling Strike (W):
Darius' next basic attack deals additional damage and slows the target's movement and attack speed for 2 seconds.
Crippling Strike's base cooldown is reduced by 1 second for each stack of
Hemorrhage on the target.
Yet again ability that's awesome! This will slow your enemies, making your chase much more easier and efficient. The damage is also really nice later on, since this is quite aggressive build. Try to land this ability, when you have many stacks of your passive and after landing a basic attack, because with this ability, it's like hitting twice in a row quickly.
-
Apprehend (E): (Passive):
Darius gains armor penetration. (Active):
Darius pulls in all enemies in front of him.
Well, not much to say here really. It's really good ability, to stop the enemy from escaping or several opponents, because this drags all the enemies in a cone. Really useful while chasing enemies or just saving your teammate. Unfortunately, it doesn't do any damage, but this gives you a nice passive armour penetration.
-
Noxian Guillotine (R):
Darius leaps to target enemy champion and strikes a lethal blow, dealing true damage. For each stack of Hemorrhage on the target, Noxian Guillotine deals an additional 20% damage.
The cooldown is refreshed if Noxian Guillotine kills the target.
This is so far, in my opinion, the best ultimate in the game for several reasons! It does true damage up to over 800, if you have AD build. Try to have as many stacks of passive as possible, before you use this ability, because it's just waste to use it without the stacks. Each stacks gives 20% more damage, so up to 100% more damage! This is really awesome to finish off and against tanks and remember, that the cooldown refreshes, if you land the killing blow with this ability. Imagine 5x800 dmg.
I will briefly explain my ability sequence choices;
I choose to max




Item Sequence









-
: Best boots for
Darius, because hes vialable to CC. These boots also give the early magic resistance, which lacks a bit mid game.
-
: (JUNGLE) I prefer this item over
Wriggle's Lantern, because it gives the attack speed, which makes it easier to stack your passive, but it's really just the matter of opinion, some may find wriggle's better. This item is also better, if you are facing again health stacking team.
-
: Excellent item, which you can choose over or under
Trinity Force, again it's matter of your own opinion.
Frozen Mallet gives you sustain and some attack damage, but I pick this for it's movement speed reduction while you attack on enemies. This again helps you stack those passives.
Trinity Force is more like a offensive item and you can choose it over this item, if you prefer it more.
-
: If you decide to choose this, also go for
Atma's Impaler, no question about that. These will not only give you sustain, but also the attack damage, which atma's gives. 1.5 % is 38 attack damage from 3700 hp, which is almost just as good as
B. F. Sword
-
: Really awesome counter against AD focusing team, who are stacking attack speed. Champions like
Tryndamere,
Xin Zhao,
Vayne etc. really hate this item, because it debuffs their attack speed quite a lot. Really useful item on
Darius
-
: If you really want to charge in the fights and you're facing AD-AP team, without lot's of sustain. The passive which can save your life many times is very useful and if enemy team is targetting you, the better it is for your team, because this gives your team bunch of time to kill your opponents while they're smacking you without grabbing a kill.
- Maw of Maltimourus: Awesome item against ap carries, just like
Force of Nature, but this item also gives you attack damage and a shield that takes up to 400 damage magic damage. This will really save your life!
-
: Awesome early-game item, buy this really early, for the nice armor penetration and cooldown reduction. Also consider, if you're facing tank in your lane.
NOTE: This is a laning item, I don't see it useful for jungler.
-
: Really nice item, which gives you some lifesteal that helps you stay longer in fights, but it's mostly for it's damage.

-
: If you prefer this over
Madred's Bloodrazor, choose this instead. It's cheaper and gives you passive to set wards.
-
: Really good item against AD carry team, they will find themselves taking lot's of damage from it's passive.
-
: Same reason as
Randuin's Omen, but you don't need to activate it. It will also give you mana and 99 armor.
-
: Nice item which gives you attack speed, which is effective against AP carries and nice amount of damage.
-
: You can buy these boots instead of [[Mercury's Treads, if you are facing AD focusing team, but not otherwise. They're just not worth it.
-
: Really awesome defensive item against AP focusing team. Deffinately a item you want to have, if you're facing heavy AP carries who deal a lot damage like
Veigar,
LeBlanc.
It's movement speed bonus is not bad either, it really is helpful and that health regeneration
I usually go for
-Wolves ( Do first hit so minions don't start running with

-Blue ( Get a pull, use your


-Wraiths( Possibly gank before or after, in that case pick


-Tiny Golems
-Red
-You can gank when you get your

-Try to spread the damage around the camps evenly, causing every minion to bleed and clearing the camps faster.




Since you have

Try to land as many Decimates as possible on the squishiest targets and slow escaping enemies with



Please give it a try and I hope you will vote & leave constructive comments.
I wish not to see votes without something in return, for example: How to improve this guide. Also I hope you will not judge by 1 item choice you're not happy about, because it's quite original build after all, read situational items for the items, which may fit for you the best, but really It's just up to you :)
There are many

Thank you.
