01 / ABILITIES
What each ability does
Official Riot descriptions. Values and behaviour may change across patches.
Q
Decimate
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 and large monsters hit by the blade.
W
Crippling Strike
Darius's next attack strikes an enemy's crucial artery. As they bleed out, their Move Speed is slowed.
E
Apprehend
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.
R
Noxian Guillotine
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 for a brief duration.
