League Of Legends Guide: Darius, the Hand of Noxus

Story of Darius

Statistics

Runes

Lets chose runes depending on your enemy.
If your enemy is an AD champ, lets go with the first one.
If your enemy is an AP champ, lets go with the second one.

Masteries

For Darius, there are multiple ways for building Masteries.
First one below is when your enemy champs are Irelia, Jax, Garen, Renekton, Rengar, Volibear, Poppy, and Xin Zhao.

9 Points on Offense seems enough because Darius' ult skill deals with true damage which ignores armors.

There are good chance of surviving if points are used for Perseverance. If your enemy is AD champ, lets give give some points at Perseverance and give up Magic Resist.

If your enemy champs is Riven, see below.

If your enemy champs are Singed, Rumble, Malphite, and Vladimir, see below.

Skill Build

Skill Tips.

Skill Combo is quiet EASY.
Q+basic attack or basic attack+W

However, you must understand and know the ranges of skills.
E and R skills have longer range then Q, which means if your enemy was hit by Q, then they must be in range of E and R.
Do not use Q too much. Lane will be pushed. When lanes are pushed too much, there are chance of ganking. Always try to keep your lane pulled on your side.
Also, even if you don't skill enemy with ult but the effect was on your enemy when team mates killed him, cooldown refreshes.
