Read from Darius's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Tryndamere.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Darius | Level 1 favours Darius — no Fury banked, so Bloodlust cannot heal the trade back. |
| Level 2 | Darius | Level 2 favours Darius — a second point and Hemorrhage stacks let you chunk him freely. |
| Level 3 | Darius | Level 3 favours Darius — Apprehend plus Crippling Strike is your peak window before Fury. |
| Levels 4-5 | Tryndamere | Levels 4-5 favour Tryndamere — Battle Fury's crit chance comes online and he wins autos. |
| Level 6 | Tryndamere | Level 6 favours Tryndamere — Undying Rage makes him unkillable and voids your execute. |
| First item | Tryndamere | First item favours Tryndamere — crit plus Mocking Shout's AD cut out-DPSes your bleed. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | Two-plus items favour Tryndamere — he out-duels and splitpushes while your R stays a coinflip through Undying. |
Darius dominates levels 1-3. Land the outer edge of Q for the heal, chunk him with W-empowered autos to stack Hemorrhage, and pull him if he overextends for a last-hit. Bloodlust needs banked Fury to heal and he has none, so every trade bleeds him.

Darius takes Conqueror on the Precision tree with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Last Stand, and Resolve secondary (Bone Plating and Unflinching) vs Tryndamere.
Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — protects your execute math. Build Stridebreaker (the stickiness fix — run-downs become lethal) first, then Sterak's Gage / Dead Man's Plate, with Plated Steelcaps.
