Apprehend lets us pull in carries towards us to close the distance, or even defensively to evade a gank. Enemies pulled by Apprehend are slowed by 40% for 1 second.Īpprehend is the utility that we need in Darius' kit. Passive: Darius hones his axe, granting him 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 35% armor penetration.Īctive: Darius sweeps up his enemies with his axe's hook, pulling them to him while briefly granting vision in the area around the pull. A common combo you will be wanting to use is Flash Crippling Strike to quickly apply 5 stacks of Hemorrhage with Noxian Might to a back line target for an execute. This helps us quickly stack up our Hemorrhage or quickly reapply it to a target with Noxian Might to set up for a Noxian Guillotine. Most importantly, this is an auto attack reset, meaning you are able to instantly cast it after an auto attack and reset the animation, resulting in 2 quick attacks in succession. ![]() If the target dies, the mana cost of Crippling Strike is refunded and the cooldown is halved.ĭarius' W Crippling Strike, while basic, is an excellent ability. Meaning if you use it right your Decimate afterward will not be dodgeable.ĭarius's next attack severs a crucial artery, dealing 150 / 155 / 160 / 165 / 170% of his total attack damage as physical damage and slowing his target by 90% for 1 second. It's also worth mentioning that this ability, when used after his E Apprehend, is a true combo. This ability is capable of chunking out the enemy and setting Darius up with a low HP target with 5 stacks of Hemorrhage to finish off with Noxian Guillotine. Decimate is also what makes Darius such a strong laner. Also very useful for punishing multiple targets in team fights and bringing Darius back up to a full health bar from low HP. Enemies struck by the shaft take 35% damage and do not receive a stack of Hemorrhage.ĭarius also heals himself for 15% of his missing Health for each enemy champion hit by Decimate's blade, up to a maximum of 45%.ĭarius' Q Decimate is his strongest trading tool. Enemies struck by the blade take 50 / 80 / 110 / 140 / 170 (+1.0 / 1.1 / 1.2 / 1.3 / 1.4 per attack damage) physical damage and receive a stack of Hemorrhage. ![]() This leads into Darius' combos, such as getting 5 stacks on a front line target and using Flash onto the back line to apply Hemorrhage to a carry for an instant Noxian Guillotine.Īfter a 0.75 second delay, Darius swings his axe in a wide circle. Not only does this give us a massive boost in AD but it also allows us to quickly reapply our 5 stack bleed to new targets with Noxian Might. Our goal should always be to get our Hemorrhage 5 stack whenever possible in fights. This effect stacks up to five times.ĭarius' passive is an integral part of his kit and a big part of what makes him such a powerhouse in lane + team fights. Simply reading and using this guide will make me happy, but I appreciate everyone who wants to send something extra.ĭarius aims his attacks strategically, causing his target to bleed for 12 (+1 per champion level) (+0.3 per bonus attack damage) physical damage over 5 seconds.
