Darius gains 5% movement speed for each bleeding enemy champion


This skill is Passive of Darius,This skill is Important to Noxian Guillotine,Try Stacking up to 5 stacks So your Ultimate deals additional Damage.

(Active): 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.

(Active): 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.


This skill is One of your combo breaker,Do The Combo!, Apprehend> Crippling Strike> Decimate Noxian Guillotine> Apprehend(When escaping)> Ignite,When Needed.

Remember:This skill has 125 range .



(Passive): Darius Gain Some Armor Penetration
spaaaaaaace(Active): Darius Pull all enemies in front on him..

This skill is important to all Darius players,Save this when an ally will gank,When the enemy tries to escape,Strike him with Crippling Strike and pull him with an Apprehend..(From:Phreak)



(Active): 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, or if the target dies within 0.5 seconds after use

Summoners Spell

Preffered Spell


: the target champion Reducing their movement speed,Attack damage dealt,and ability and item damage dealt.

You're and Tanky Carry,Thats why I take this spell,If they have a really fed Tryndamere or Master Yi,Just Exhaust them fast,Their down.



:Teleports your champion for a short range where your cursor are pointing

Darius dont have an escape ability,Thats why I take this,It can flash through walls,But can be countered by Spinning Slash, Arcane Shift, Slice and Dice,etc.



Good spells


:Ignites and enemy unit,Dealing true damage per second and reducing healing effects by 50%

Finish an enemy running,Reducing healing effects to Dr. Mundo, Fiddlesticks and Tryndamere.


:Your champions ignore unit collision and gains movement speed for a short duration

This spell has lower cooldown than Flash,but it cannot have tricky moves like Flashing through walls,Can be countered easily by Wither, Time Warp,etc..


:deals true damage in to minion,neutral creeps,pets like Children of the Grave, Summon: Tibbers,etc..

Must Spell to get to all jungler champions,Deals high true damage into a minion,or neutral creeps,I dont play Darius as a jungler,See other Darius guides.


:Restore health to your champion and nearby allies.

Yes,Many people call this "noob spell",But Darius is a tank/off tank,So sometimes,I get this spell

:Teleports your champion to target tower,minion,or wards.

Remember: You can teleport into Noxius Trap and Demacian Standard.

Ignore if needed
