How to play it

✓

Dodge his Q

His Q is his only sustain and can turn a losing 1v1 around: Q in or Q out the moment he winds it up so the healing outer blade whiffs.

✓

Your all-in

Once you're 7+ and even-or-ahead you can all-in him: a patient, passive playstyle counters Darius, so take the fight on your terms.

✓

Fight at grab range

He's scariest at auto-attack range and weaker once he commits his E grab: if he pulls you in, that's your cue to win the trade, not panic.

✕

Never commit an all-in while his Bone Plating rune is still up: bait it out first, then take the fight.
