How to win lane as Warwick against Darius · 53.25% win rate over 1,106 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Warwick | Level 1 is yours — Darius can't out-trade your Q sustain and Blood Hunt before his kit comes online. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is skill, decided by whether you eat the outer blade of Decimate or dodge it. |
| Level 3 | Warwick | Level 3 favours you: dodging Q and dashing in lets you win the trade before bleed stacks. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even as his Q edge-heal and your sustain roughly cancel out. |
| Level 6 | Warwick | Level 6 is yours — Infinite Duress cancels his pull and Guillotine to win the all-in. |
| First item | Darius | At first item Darius flips it: his bleed and Guillotine reset out-scale your heal. |
| Two+ items | Darius | With 2+ items Darius wins outright — full-stack bleed and reset execute beat your dive. |
Level 1-2 you control the wave — Darius wants short-trade Q edges but your Q sustain and Blood Hunt let you disengage the bleed. Never stand in the outer blade of Decimate or you feed his heal and stacks.
