Darius vs Evelynn

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Darius should leverage early invade pressure to disrupt Evelynn's vulnerable first clears and deny her level 6 spike timing.
Prioritize controlling river Scuttles and vision to prevent Evelynn's stealth flanks and post-6 pick attempts.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize early invades and counter-jungling to delay Evelynn's scaling and level 6 power spike.
Fight for first Scuttle only when your lanes can contest river priority and provide counter-gank support.
Use vision control around dragon and Herald to force Evelynn into teamfights where your dueling and objective control excel.

Danger windows

Evelynn's post-6 stealth flank and charm create high danger in isolated river skirmishes and objective setups.
Low-health clears increase vulnerability to Evelynn's early invades; avoid overextending without vision.
Forced smite fights near dragon or Herald require lane priority and vision to prevent Evelynn from punishing with picks.

Early game

Start with a fast full clear to reach level 3 before Evelynn and prepare for early river Scuttle contest.
Invade Evelynn's jungle when nearby lanes have priority to punish her low early dueling and invade resistance.
Avoid isolated river fights without lane support to reduce risk against Evelynn's charm and execute potential.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) execute reset, enabling lethal extended trades and snowball potential; stack passive before committing.
First bruiser item completion increases durability and damage, allowing longer fights and safer invades.
Evelynn's level 6 stealth and charm create high-risk windows; respect these by controlling vision and avoiding isolated fights.

Win conditions

Convert early invade pressure and Scuttle control into dragon and Rift Herald advantages to snowball your team.
Use superior dueling and objective control to deny Evelynn farm and delay her scaling.
Leverage your level 6 execute and lane priority to force picks and secure kills before Evelynn reaches full AP power.
