Darius, the Hand of Noxus, is a melee fighter and tank champion. In fights Darius is a durable champion who deals physical damage over extended fights, with healing in the kit. Here are the augments Darius players take most, the Prismatic items worth grabbing and the core build on patch 26.20.
Become large, gaining 15% Health and 10% Adaptive Force.
The extra Health keeps you alive while you stack Hemorrhage (passive), and the Adaptive Force adds damage to Decimate (Q) and your attacks.
Gain the Blade Waltz Summoner Spell. Blade Waltz makes you untargetable while you dash at and damage enemies 6 times.
Blade Waltz gives you an untargetable way to reach enemies, so you dodge damage on the way in and can start stacking Hemorrhage (passive) with attacks.
Gain increased size and percent bonus Health per takedown.
Noxian Guillotine (R) is built to secure kills, and each takedown adds bonus Health, so you grow tankier every round you keep executing enemies.
In game, Hexgate puts a badge under every augment card you are offered, with how often Darius players take it.
