How to play it
- Press early
Maokai is stronger in the first levels — shove and deny farm.
- Long fights
Darius is a tank — build sustained damage and keep hitting; burst won't do it.
When you are in danger
- Full HP or back off
Darius's burst kills from half HP. No trades under 60%, and buy Banshee's Veil early.

How to beat Darius

- Build Bramble Vest and Plated Steelcaps early
- Push damage early — he falls off after 20 minutes
- Don't stand at the outer edge of his axe — the damage is doubled there
