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 Fiora

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take short trades: each Vital she hits with Duelist's Dance (passive) heals her and speeds her up.

  2. Wait for her Riposte before your CC

    If you have CC, wait until Riposte (W) is used: if it parries an immobilizing effect, her stab stuns you instead of slowing you.

  3. Trade after her Lunge

    Take a trade when Lunge (Q) has just whiffed: without an enemy hit, its cooldown isn't reduced, and it's her only dash.

  4. Send two to answer her split

    Answer her split push with two players rather than alone: in a duel, Grand Challenge (R) reveals four Vitals and speeds her up near her target.
