How's my Darius build?

[quasi cairn]

I've hit gold in ranked and wanted to start playing Darius (so far I've been butt though), I watched some guides and whipped up this build, is there anything I can swap out/better alternatives?

Good

Build BC after Tri. Getting these 2 items first gives you a alot of ms and allows you to stay on top of enemies. I would also suggest 3rd item as Sundered Sky or Death Dance. You dont get full value out of Sterak until mid to late game because it scales with your base damage and hence your xp level

I'd also advise you to go tenacity or vamp rune instead of AS

You have enough with trinity

As for the green rune, go overgrowth (second wind works too depending on who you face)

[quasi cairn]

Sorry for late reply but how's this instead?

And ur suggesting vamp runes I'll keep that in mind when I get back on

Personally I like this one more but I also wouldn’t go steraks on 3 cause you are just way too squishy without resistances with 3 items

[quasi cairn]

What should I swap it with?

[tardy steeple]

Twinguard on 3

Dont go cleaver, it’s not that worth cos the movespeed bonus doesnt stack

Dead man’s is better 90% of the time

Tank items completely situational

And if you need armor pierce, MR is usually better (on pc every single chall/gm darius otp goes mr instead of thornmail or BC)

[mild wave]

it does stack tho

You mean trinity and bc ms passives?

[zinc eagle]

Yes

Ah im wrong - thinking of pc

Also shojin and sundered sky are hella bait on darius

Dd is also bait before steraks

Honestly i feel triforce > sterak’s > dead man’s/FoN is just BiS in 99% of scenarios

[median yarrow]

Nice nice

I’ll use here to learn him

[distant veldt]

Shojin still bait?

[zinc eagle]

Imo yes

Better off itemising tank

Darius doesnt need dmg

He needs to be able to survive until he can stack his passive

[distant veldt]

I see

But won't that mean his damage will be low after steraks?

[zinc eagle]

Your dmg mainly comes from passive and ult
