| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Darius | Darius-favoured: his Q-edge heal and pull threat bully your L1 walk-ups. |
| Level 2 | Darius | Darius-favoured: he can start a lethal 5-stack combo off an early pull. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Skill: dodging his Apprehend with E decides whether the trade flips. |
| Levels 4-5 | Darius | Darius-favoured: a landed pull into Q-R can outright kill you at 4-5. |
| Level 6 | Darius | Darius-favoured: R6 executes you at 5 Hemorrhage stacks, respecting his all-in. |
| First item | Yone | Yone-favoured: first crit item plus lifesteal lets you kite and out-trade him. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Yone-favoured: late mobility and R make you unpullable and out-DPS his cooldowns. |
Darius bullies levels 1-2 hard: his Q outer edge heals through your poke and his pull threatens a fast 5-stack, so give ground and only trade when his Apprehend is down.
