Matchup of the Day

Your Win Condition

You win hard at level two. The goal is to short trade aggressively to prevent Darius from getting five passive stacks.

General Strategy

Darius vs. Urgot being a good matchup is a myth. If Darius starts Q (Decimate), immediately start playing aggressive. Rush Black Cleaver because it is too good against Darius.

Trading Patterns

When Darius starts his Q windup, walk inside the Q2 (the handle, not the blade) and start trading with him. This negates his healing and most of his damage. Never let Darius reach five passive stacks. When he uses E (Apprehend), use your E reactively to flip him mid-Apprehend, preventing him from repositioning his Q. Your W (Purge) makes all allies around you Ghosted, which means Darius cannot use minions to manipulate your positioning.

Wave Management

Their Win Condition

Darius wins if he easily secures five passive stacks. Darius E (Apprehend) can have priority over your E if you use it incorrectly, but you must reactively use your E.
