Darius Build Guide
Darius is still a strong top laner, with a 49.94% winrate and a 6.94% pick rate on patch 16.13.1. Current ranked data also shows him being played in jungle as a secondary option. Conqueror is the keystone that keeps him alive through the bleed stacks his whole kit is built around.
Level Q first, then E, then W, and put points into Decimate early for clearing waves and into Hemorrhage for stacking. Youmuu’s Ghostblade, Dead Man’s Plate, and Death’s Dance complete the core, giving him mobility, sustain, and the ability to finish off opponents in duels. The full item path, rune setup, and hardest matchups are covered below.
