Hello, welcome to my guide on how to play Darius, The Hand Of Noxus. Darius is a High-Damage Tank wich can carry a team hard lategame. Such as Garen he doesnt really need damage items to make kills, but if u get some it will be easyer. So without further talking lets move on to the reason ur here, the guide.

For Runes, the same as masteries below. The Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage instead of health helps for early lane harass and better farming.

My masteries for Darius are not so tanky as you would expect. I personally prefer to have damage masteries, but also a little bit of health to.

For maxing your abilities, i recommend taking Decimate first, then Crippling Strike and last Apprehend. Of course Noxian Guillotine whenever u can. Maxing Decimate first is because this is Darius' main damage spell, and does serious damage when maxed out. Crippling Strike is maxed second because of the high damage and low cooldown it has when rank 5. I max Apprehend last, because i see no point in maxing this early.

Darius aims his attacks strategically, causing his target to bleed for 12 / 15 / 18 / 21 / 24 / 27 / 30 / 33 / 36 (+0.3 per bonus attack damage) magic damage over 5 seconds. The bleed damage is increased every 2 levels, except for the last one which is increased at level 18. This effect stacks up to five times. 5 Stacks of Hemorrhage deal the same damage as Ignite

Darius gains 5% movement speed for each bleeding enemy champion.

Darius swings his axe in a wide circle. Enemies struck by the shaft take 70 / 105 / 140 / 175 / 210 (+0.7 per bonus attack damage) physical damage. Champions struck by the blade take 105 / 157.5 / 210 / 262.5 / 315 (+1.05 per bonus attack damage) physical damage.

Darius' next attack severs a crucial artery, dealing 20 / 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 % additional physical damage. As the target bleeds out, their movement and attack speeds are slowed by 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 % for 2 seconds. Crippling Strike's cooldown is reduced by 1 second for each stack of Hemorrhage on the target.

Darius hones his axe, granting him 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 % passive armor penetration. When activated, Darius sweeps up his enemies with his axe's hook and pulls them to him.

Darius leaps to an enemy Champion and strikes a lethal blow, dealing 160 / 250 / 340 (+0.75 per bonus attack damage) true damage. This damage increases by 20% for each stack of Hemorrhage on the target up to a maximum of 320 / 500 / 680 (+1.5 per bonus attack damage) true damage. If Noxian Guillotine is a killing blow, it can be recast within the next 20 seconds. This can occur multiple times in succession.

If i made any mistakes, please tell me and i will change this ASAP!
