Lol, I don't even know why I put 21/9/0 on him, I haven't played 21/9 on AD bruiser in a very long time, thanks for noticing it, gonna change it now.

Very situational. Also, have you tried 9/21/0 on Darius before? I think it works better than 21/9/0. I don't think the offensive tree gives him a whole lot.

Yeah, I've had Aegis of the Legion in situational items for a while now.

You should reconsider using Aegis of the Legion on Darius. It is probably the best magic resist item in the game atm but it does not really provide tankiness. You should at least add Runic Bulwark too, you pretty much need to upgrade Aegis of the Legion to it eventually. I'd only get Aegis if no one on my team is going to get it and their team is really AP heavy, otheriwse; I would not advise getting Aegis of the Legion. Thank you, keep the good work up.

Yeah, it's perfectly fine to get flask, I just think you don't need so many potions is all. I love flask.

I use flask on Darius because it makes up for his lack of sustain, and depending how much mana you're going to use in lane, 3 health pots and 2 mana pots works well also. I usually don't like to B before I hit level 6 or so, so I can have noxian guillotine up when I come back to lane. I like to go back when i have enough for a brutalizer usually so I can dominate in lane after, only, just one B. It's just a personal preference for me to go flask, in this way I can secure minions with Decimate or Crippling Strike without having to worry about mana. The ward is also very useful.

Yeah, it looks better. Nice work. But with your start on Crystalline Flask and 4 Health Potions, that is around 900 HP, do you need that much before your first b? It's not a serious problem. I have never tried Wit's End though, so, I have no idea on it.

Trinity Force is definitely a good item if you are dominating/carrying. But if you need someone tanky on your team you might even opt for a utility item like Shurelya's Battlesong. Only if you need someone to initiate though. As for offensive, Black Cleaver is plenty, but Last Whisper is just fine as well. Darius does quite a lot of damage even if you build tanky.

+1 vote.

I know what you mean by Atma's isn't that good at the moment. But I've edited the guide to be more versatile. Tell me if you think it's better now :D

To be honest most of my Darius games in season 3 don't even get to the point of those last items, so I just put what I thought would be good.

I needed another offensive item and this build, but I really don't know what to replace Atma's for, maybe a last whisper or randuin's omen; depending on how hard one is snowballing?

Pretty good looking start. I'd like to talk about your item decisions though. Why would I get Mercurial Scimitar over something like Maw of Malmortius? With a bit of thinking, Mercurial Scimitar, does not seem like the worst thing to get, however; Darius is nothing like Olaf. Darius is not supposed to dive in because he is so weak to crowd control and Mercurial Scimitar only removes the crowd control that he is currently under. It's essentially the same thing as a Quicksilver Sash with other stats. Atma's Impaler is also not the best choice to go along with Sunfire Aegis. Atma's Impaler is better suited along with Warmog's Armor and Frozen Mallet. Even then, Atma's Impaler is really not that good of an item right now. Anyway, good work. Thanks for the contribution.
