| Level 3 | Darius | Level 3 favours Darius — E-pull into W burst kills before his lifesteal ramps. |

Darius owns levels 1-4. Warwick's passive lifesteal only spikes below half health, so open with burst from full — E-pull, W-auto, Q — and he can't out-heal your Hemorrhage. Trade when his W Blood Hunt isn't proccing you and keep him off his sustain rhythm.
