Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page
cho'goth has an extremely weak early game, and doesn't really pose a threat until maybe late game-ish. He cant duel you at all, will only pose a threat in a 3 on 3 skirmish with his r silence and knock up. (team fights too)
Hecarim
hecarim naturally has a weak early game, so you can easily punish him when he goes for scuttles, and invade easily.
Camille
Camille is a bit tricky, she has a decent amount of early game damage and a passive shield. So at this point, its pretty hard for Darius to duel her level 2. Level 3 is a completely different story. Her w is almost useless when it comes to 1v1's and Darius will have his q. Then again, it is a bit of a skill based 1v1. A good Darius can pull Camille out of her e, and a bad one will q once she e's.
Aatrox
I barely consider aatrox a jungler, but when he is jungling, it's pretty hard for Darius to lose to him. He doesn't have a way to escape, and has to be at a distance when fighting Darius.
Dr. Mundo
Mundo out damages you at level 2 and 3. It's very hard to do much other then farm and gank against this guy. at all levels Darius loses, unless Mundo is a idiot and misses all his cleavers.
Elise
Elise can be hard to deal with early levels and mid game. You can outplay her by dodging her e, but since you have no dashes it's difficult. she also does a lot mid game, so it's really hard to do anything against her.
Evelynn
Evelynn is pretty worthless until level 6. So unless she is smart about how she paths, she won't be able to do anything.
Graves
Graves has a decent early with press the attack, so dueling him depends on who gets the drop on who. he can also dash away from your pull, but that's difficult to do. Over all Darius would win a 1v1 if they both got everything off.
Jax
Jax will only be annoying if you use you w into his e. other then that you will win all the time
Kayn
kayn does a surprising amount of early game damage. Unless he takes e level two, you should be able to duel him, and dueling level three depends on who hits their abilities.
Kha'Zix
kha'zix isnt really that scary once he uses his burst. So winning against him depends on how well you cleared.
Kindred
kindred doesn't have a chance of winning agaisnt you unless she is 6 and you miss play. not really much to say when she has a weak early and depends on getting scuttles.
Lee Sin
lee can 1v1 you only if you miss play. So unless he is a god lee sin he wont win.
Master Yi
master yi is a bit annoying to Darius.He can either kill you super easily by dodging your q with his q, or he can have conqueror and not proc it at all while you are destroying him with your slow. Over all it depends on the player and runes he takes.
Nocturne
Nocturnes q and e can be really troublesome for Darius, and he out scales darius during mid game then gets out scaled during late. so over all nocturne can be a pretty hard match up.
Nunu & Willump
Nunu can farm easily and take scuttles as easily. The current nunu is pretty useless so the only issues will be getting counter jungled. I have absolutely no clue how new nunu will work, but i'll leave the difficulty meter at yellow just to be safe.
Olaf
olaf's keystone is useless early and he is only good mid game. Just abuse him early and the game will be over.
Pantheon
Pantheon is probably the hardest matchup for darius. He has insane early burst and a passive that blocks auto's. Darius cant duel him until later on, and will be useful only once mid game hits.
Quinn
Zzz huh what did you just say? Oh quinn has a way to get away, a slow, and a way to make her self faster by autoing, and she can empower her autos every time she uses an ability? AND she has a good clear by disarming monsters? zzZ
Rammus
Rammus is just, in lack of a better term, useless in the meta. He has such a laughable early game compared to Darius. the only issue will be his scaling, being a tank made to counter ad champs.
Rek'Sai
can be pretty annoying with press the attack, but with after-shock she cant really duel you. can be a pain in any skirmish, so that's why i'm listing her as difficult.
Rengar
rengar cant duel you at any ranks. Only issue is that he can one shot your squishys, and easily make it a 4v5. But if you time your ult right, you can get your dunk train ready off him and carry the fight. So jumping in on renger is a double edged sword.
Shaco
you can out duel him early, but if he gets some what ahead you will be in a sticky situation.
Shyvana
she can only duel you at level 6. until then you have more map pressure and all that nice stuff. Abuse her early and your good
Taliyah
taliyah is a little scary. her level 3 is super strong, but if she doesn't 100-0 burst you can easily kill her. she hard out scales you and has a lot more burst.
Trundle
Only person in this list that can out brute force you. He wins all duels at all ranks until full build, and makes you really squishy with his ult.
Udyr
udyr will only be annoying if he is ahead. He is super strong level two, and can easily out duel you until 6. you outscale him though so the game hits 20 mins, he's pretty easy to duel.
Warwick
warwick doesn't do enough early to out duel you, and hard falls off. One on the easier matchups.
Wukong
Wukong can't duel you, but can easily our pressure you. he has good ganks and better damage. just gotta counter gank and you'll be good.
Xin Zhao
Xin is the last notable jungler. He has a good level 2, but cant duel you at any ranks. He has good map presence level two with his power spike, but hard hard falls off late. So xin is sorta like wukong but less useful late game.
Hi, I'm andy, or as im called ingame, isthataproyasuo.
I am a diamond 4 NA player that mains graves, taliyah, and xin zhao.
I thought one day to myself "hey, Darius jungle sounds fun" and from that day forward i decided to make an account dedicated to one tricking Darius jungle to diamond or higher.
I decided to make a Darius jungle guide because i find that this is surprisingly fun, and pretty decent.
Why darius jungle?
Why darius jungle?
Why not. It's boring to play the same things over and over and Darius jungle takes Darius top and apply that all over the map.
Unique Skills
Unique Skills
Darius is a early game bruiser that is easily kited, but put in the right hands can not be stopped. He has an extremely good early game with his pull and auto attack reset, but falls off a tad bit mid then picks back up late. He can be an unstoppable monster once he gets ahead, but if he doesn't, he's border line useless.
Over all, I think Darius can be an amazing jungler, but if he's not played correctly can be extremely bad. (he has an extremely strict play style)
Spells
Spells
Darius has a unique animation cancel that not too many people know about. He can use his Crippling Strike while also using his Decimate. this animation cancel can be pretty huge in a fight, because standing there for .75 seconds longer can be the difference between winning and losing a skirmish.
