Counter plan — how to beat Darius

  • Avoid extended fights — its sustain grows with every trade it survives

  • Punish the cooldown — Darius is exposed while its rotation is down

  • Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one

  • Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit medium difficulty, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

  • Trade on your terms — take the fight where its damage lands on nobody

Methodology

Data window
286,420 games on patch 7.3, Ranked, No public API. Last refreshed 25 Sept 2026.
Rank aggregation
No rank split. A derived sample has no brackets to pool, so none is claimed — the rates are the same sample at every rank.
Role assignment
A champion is filed under the lanes it actually plays, not the one class it belongs to — which is why several appear in two.
Counters
A matchup, not a tier gap: how this champion does into that one specifically, over that pairing’s own games.
Minimum sample
The confidence indicator beside every rate is driven by how much of the window this champion appears in. A low reading means read the figure loosely, not that it is wrong.
Why a build is not a cause
The best-scoring build is the one the best-placed players happened to take. Correlation is what a rate can show; it is not evidence that buying those items caused the wins.
Where the numbers come from
Names, titles, classes, difficulty and ability names are read off Riot's official Wild Rift site. Lanes are this site's filing; items and runes are Wild Rift's patch 7.3 shop and rune tree. Every rate is a derived sample — Riot publishes no Wild Rift API, and nothing on this page presents one as measured.

Darius on video

Published by League of Legends: Wild Rift on YouTube, 10 December 2020.

5 years old. League of Legends: Wild Rift has been patched since, so watch it for how the kit plays, not for numbers — the rest of this page is written for the current patch.

It plays in YouTube’s own player once you press play. Nothing is downloaded or re-hosted here, and nothing loads from YouTube until then.
