Abilities

PASSIVE

Hemorrhage

Darius' attacks and damaging abilities cause enemies to bleed for physical damage over 5 seconds, stacking up to 5 times. Darius enrages and gains massive Attack Damage when his target reaches max stacks.

Decimate

Darius winds up and swings his axe in a wide circle. Enemies struck by the blade take more damage than those struck by the handle. Darius heals based on enemy champions and large monsters hit by the blade.

Cooldown: 9/8/7/6/5sCost: 25/30/35/40/45Range: 1

Crippling Strike

Darius's next attack strikes an enemy's crucial artery. As they bleed out, their Move Speed is slowed.

Cooldown: 5sCost: 40Range: 300

Apprehend

Darius hones his axe, passively causing his physical damage to ignore a percentage of his target's Armor. When activated, Darius sweeps up his enemies with his axe's hook and pulls them to him.

Cooldown: 26/23.5/21/18.5/16sCost: 70/60/50/40/30Range: 535

Noxian Guillotine

Darius leaps to an enemy champion and strikes a lethal blow, dealing true damage. This damage is increased for each stack of Hemorrhage on the target. If Noxian Guillotine is a killing blow, its cooldown is refreshed for a brief duration.

Cooldown: 120/100/80sCost: 100/100/0Range: 460

Playing As Darius

Decimate is a powerful harassment ability. Strike an enemy from maximum range for the greatest effect.
Noxian Guillotine does more damage the more attacks you can land prior to it. Use Noxian Might to deal maximum damage.
Darius benefits greatly from enhanced survivability. The longer you can prolong a fight, the more powerful he becomes.

Playing Against Darius

When Darius's axe grab is on cooldown, he is vulnerable to harassment attacks.
Darius's ability to escape from fights is limited. If you have an advantage against him, press your lead.

Lore

There is no greater symbol of Noxian might than Darius, the nation's most feared and battle-hardened commander. Rising from humble origins to become the Hand of Noxus, he cleaves through the empire's enemies—many of them Noxians themselves. Knowing that he never doubts his cause is just, and never hesitates once his axe is raised, those who stand against the leader of the Trifarian Legion can expect no mercy.
