Playing as Darius

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Hit with the edge of your axe

    Aim the outer edge of Decimate (Q): only the blade heals you and applies Hemorrhage (passive). The handle, in the center, deals less damage.

  2. All-in at five stacks

    Go all-in when your target has five Hemorrhage (passive) stacks: you gain a massive AD bonus, and Noxian Guillotine (R) hits harder with each stack.

  3. Save Apprehend for runners

    Save Apprehend (E) to pull back an enemy who retreats, not to start a trade: it's your only pull, on a 26 to 16 second cooldown.

  4. Execute to recast your R

    Cast Noxian Guillotine (R) on the lowest-health target: its true damage ignores armor, and if it kills, you can recast it right away.

Playing against Corki

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't count on your minions

    Don't count on your minions against Missile Barrage (R): each missile explodes on impact and damages enemies around it, you included.

  2. Leave his Gatling cone

    Get out of the Gatling Gun (E) cone rather than trading inside it: it lowers your armor and magic resist while it fires.

  3. Avoid brushes hit by his bomb

    Don't rely on a brush hit by Phosphorus Bomb (Q): the area and the champions hit stay revealed for a few seconds.

  4. Engage after his dash

    If you can engage, wait until Valkyrie (W) or Special Delivery is used: he's then vulnerable, with no way to reposition.
