The game "League of Legends" offers the gamer a huge selection of characters that he can control during not too long (usually no more than two hours) matches in the arena one on one or team against team. Each of these characters has its own advantages and disadvantages, they can interact well with one hero and very badly with another, so you will need to spend a lot of time studying a specific character in order to be able to compete with experienced arena fighters. If you liked the champion named Darius, then this guide was created for you . Darius is an excellent hero who, when properly managed, can become a serious threat to the enemy. You can’t say that he was very popular, but this can be written in his pluses, as few will expect from you that you can demonstrate after long trainings. Naturally, this guide will not make you a professional in ten minutes, it will only help you understand the skills of Darius, figure out how to use them and pump them. And you will have to hone your skills and develop battle strategies anyway.
Bleeding
The basic passive skill is where this guide starts. Darius in this regard is no different from the rest of the characters, so he has one passive skill that cannot be pumped, three skills that can be freely pumped, and one ult that can be pumped only three times per game at certain levels. So, “Bleeding” is a passive skill of this champion, thanks to which the blows of Darius not only cause damage to the enemy, but also make him bleed, that is, lose health for a certain period of time. This is a very useful skill, especially in battles where everyone can decide health units. Therefore, everyone who plays against Darius needs to remember what he can do. Well, those who chose this character as their companion in the game can always count on this small bonus. Naturally, this guide only opens this guide - Darius is capable of much more.
Extermination
This is the first pumped skill that this guide will describe. Darius can strike with his ax in a circle, but you should remember that there will be a slight delay before the strike, so you need to correctly set the time. As a result, special damage will be inflicted on all enemies that fall under attack. But this is not all - depending on how many opponents Darius hits with one blow, a certain amount of his health will be restored. So, as you understand, it is very important here to be able to predict the moment of impact. This is the main skill of the hero, so you should pump it to the maximum by the ninth level, that is, before the completion of the first half of the game. From time to time, you can watch videos that will also describe the character of Darius. Hyde (season 5 contains an episode about him) always considers the hero as a champion who carries out the main work with his ax using the “Extermination”.
Crippling blow
The game "League of Legends" is incredibly fast, and people unfamiliar with the genre may think that one or two seconds of slowing down a character is trifles. But actually it is a very, very long time, especially in the midst of a battle. Therefore, this skill of Darius can be extremely useful. When activated, the next blow of the character not only deals damage to the enemy, but also slows it down to ten percent speed for one second. But you can’t even imagine what can be done in one second, while the enemy is completely disarmed. This skill does not improve much during the pumping process, so you just need to take its first level, and pump the rest when your “Extermination” reaches its maximum. Almost any LOL guide will offer you such tactics. Darius is a character who loves to attack, and the rest of the little things are not so important, so pump his attack, and leave the rest for later.
Detention
In the League of Legends game, a guide to Darius can be very useful if you want to achieve certain successes with this character. The fact is that this is far from being obtained by everyone - according to statistics, the winning rate for this character does not even reach fifty percent. However, if you use it correctly, then your chances of winning will seriously increase. For example, many do not use the “Detention” skill or use it not as it should. The fact is that its action consists of two parts. Firstly, it increases the penetration of your character’s armor, and secondly, it allows you to attract the enemy to you within the radius of the spell, thereby reducing its speed by forty percent. At first glance, the skill may not seem the most useful, but if you think about it, then with its help you can work wonders. However, as in the case of the previous skill, the first level is enough for you - you will get the rest at the end of the game.
Noxian Guillotine
Remember the “Bleeding”? Its effect on the enemy can accumulate up to five units. What does this have to do with ult? The fact is that in the case of Darius, the ult is a jump on the enemy with inflicting from 100 to 300 points of damage (depending on the level of ability). However, each Bleeding unit increases this damage by twenty percent. Accordingly, if you hang five bleeding units on the enemy, and then use the Noxian Guillotine, then the damage from it will be doubled.
The black cleaver
In the end, it is worth mentioning which item is most suitable for a given character. This is the ax of The Black Cleaver. What are its features? Firstly, it gives your character an additional four hundred points of health. Secondly, it adds another forty units to the damage. Thirdly, it reduces the speed of skill rollback by twenty percent (that is, you can reuse them a little faster). It would seem that this is already very significant, but the ax also has a unique ability - each successful strike not only causes damage, but also reduces the enemy’s armor by 5 percent, and this effect can accumulate up to 25 percent.
