Master Tier Analysis

Your Win Condition

Avoid the center (true damage) of his W (Haymaker). Outscale him.

General Strategy

Ghost is the counter because it allows Darius to kite and space Sett. Do not fight level 1. Fight him when his W is on cooldown. If low HP and in ultimate range, use E-Auto-R to execute him before he can use his W shield. Darius eventually outscales Sett heavily. Do not fight aggressively near his turret (he can R you into turret shots).

Trading Patterns

You must kite Sett until his W shield wears off. If Sett builds damage (like Bork) to fight you in the side lane, he becomes 'tissue paper' in team fights. Avoid getting your Q canceled by his E (Pull) or R (Ultimate).

Wave Management

Play on your side of the lane to avoid getting pulled/R'd into his turret range.

Their Win Condition

Landing the center of W (Haymaker). Winning early through double auto attacks/Level 1 power. Using R (The Show Stopper) to cancel Darius Q or land Darius under his turret.
