Want to dominate the top lane as Darius, the Hand of Noxus? This guide will help you build him for maximum carnage! A successful Darius build balances damage, survivability, and the ability to stick to your targets.
**Core Items:** Trinity Force provides a great mix of stats including damage, attack speed, and movement speed making your combos deadly. Sterak's Gage is crucial for survivability, granting a shield when taking burst damage.
**Boots:** Plated Steelcaps or Mercury's Treads are your best bet, depending on the enemy team composition. Pick Plated Steelcaps against heavy auto-attackers and Mercury's Treads for crowd control.
**Situational Items:** Dead Man's Plate is fantastic for chasing down opponents and gaining movement speed. Spirit Visage is a good option if you need more magic resist and healing. Black Cleaver allows your team to shred armor, helping you and your allies do more damage.
**Runes:** Conqueror is typically the go-to rune for Darius, allowing you to stack damage during extended fights. Triumph and Legend: Tenacity are also strong choices. Bone Plating or Second Wind can help you survive early trades.
Adapt your build based on the game, but remember, sticking to your core items will ensure you're dealing massive damage and can survive team fights. Now go forth and dunk on your enemies!
