What the Rift Lab holds on this champion: the kit as Riot publishes it, the build the lab reviewed, and the matchups it has documented. Anything the dataset does not record is left out rather than filled in.
Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.
Darius's attacks and damaging abilities cause enemies to bleed for physical damage over time, stacking up to a cap. Upon reaching full stacks, Darius gains Noxian Might for a few seconds, gaining Attack Damage and applying full stacks of Hemorrhage instead of 1.
Darius winds up and swings his axe in a wide circle. Enemies struck by the blade take more damage than those struck by the handle. Darius heals based on enemy champions hit by the blade, and applies Hemorrhage.
Darius empowers his next attack to deal additional damage with a large slow.
Darius hones his axe, passively causing his physical damage to ignore a percentage of his target's Armor. When activated, Darius sweeps up his enemies with his axe's hook and pulls them to him.
Darius leaps to an enemy champion and strikes a lethal blow, dealing true damage. This damage is increased for each stack of Hemorrhage on the target. If Noxian Guillotine is a killing blow, its cooldown is refreshed, granting Noxian Might and causing nearby minions and monsters to flee.

One slot, changed when the enemy team changes the problem. These are answers, not automatic purchases.
Ability text and the in-game title follow Riot's official Wild Rift champion pages. The tier letter is the external snapshot shown on the tier list, and the build is the Nexus reviewed snapshot — neither is a win rate.

This is a documented matchup list, not a win rate: TheNexus does not publish win-rate or pick-rate figures it cannot source.
Riot's ability text for Darius describes crowd control (a stun, root, knock-up, pull or similar) in APPREHEND (ability 3); a dash, leap or blink in NOXIAN GUILLOTINE (ultimate); healing or regeneration in DECIMATE (ability 1). Plan around those abilities before a trade or a fight. These notes are keyword matches over the ability text only, not a rating of how strong Darius is, so read the full descriptions on this page.

Every answer here is built from Rift Lab data and Riot's own ability text. Where the data is missing we say so instead of guessing.
