Be sure to poke Fiora in early game and deny her farm. She will become a problem for you if she gets Tiamat before you have at least bought Chain Vest. If you are becoming out-farmed and are being poked play safe under turret and wait for a gank from your jungler. If you see an opportunity to engage make sure to use your W and E before or after she casts her Riposte while also trying to avoid being slowed.
Ekko
When laning against an Ekko it is important to engage on him before he hits level 6 since It is easy for him to turn around a trade using his timewinder. He shouldn't be a problem for you from early to mid game because he does not deal some hard damage during that time. it is important to prioritise Magic Resistance and avoid his Q in this matchup.
Gnar
Since Gnar is known to be one of Darius' best counters I decided to provide tips for this type of matchup as well. Like Ekko and Fiora, Gnar is no exception to prioritise pokes on. He also shouldn't be much of a hard time in early if you are able to avoid Boomerang Throw (His Q). Also try to engage when he is in Mega Gnar form since his kiting potential is reduced, just watch out for late game.
Garen
The build listed previously is perfect for this matchup because you will be able to resist every single Decisive Strike and it gives you the potential to win trades thanks to your armour penetration and bleed effect. Unlike all the other champions mentioned, It is important to refrain from poking in early game or at least before you have built Dead Man's Plate due to his early damage potential from his Q.
Teemo
So how do you play against The Devil of League? Well there are many ways to do so. First one being that most importantly avoiding trades while blinded from his Q. It will prevent you from slowing him with your W or dealing the killing blow with your ultimate. Secondly, preventing yourself from getting killed in early game also counts for this champion as he can easily deal damage if you haven't built any MR items, although I would recommend doing the total opposite if you know when and how to engage on a Teemo. Third of all, You should be able to win trades in mid game if you have built at least Spirit Visage and Banshee's Veil.
