Fiddlesticks vs Darius

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears and reach level 6 before contesting river or enemy jungle camps against Darius.
Focus on vision control and objective setup to leverage Fiddlesticks' strong teamfight scaling and ambush potential.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize multi-camp clears and reset for control wards before objective fights to maintain vision dominance.
Fight for river control and objectives only when you have level 6 and fog of war advantage to maximize (R) impact.
Use cross-map pathing to counter-jungle Darius when his lanes lack priority, trading camps to deny his scaling.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 where Darius' (E) pull and passive stacks can overwhelm you.
Be cautious contesting objectives without vision, as Darius can force smite fights with his all-in threat.
Watch for Darius' level 6 power spike after he stacks passive; avoid extended trades or counter-jungle attempts during this time.

Early game

Execute a fast full clear to hit level 6 first and avoid early river fights where Darius can leverage his early duel strength.
Only contest Scuttle Crab when nearby lanes have priority to avoid being caught by Darius or his laners.
Avoid early invades; instead, track Darius' pathing and prepare to counter-gank when his lanes commit to aggression.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) from fog to ambush and turn skirmishes or objective fights decisively.
Respect Darius' level 6 execute (R) and avoid extended fights when low health or when he stacks his passive.
Exploit your very high clear speed to reach scaling faster, denying Darius early dueling windows.

Win conditions

Convert level 6 power spike into objective control by setting up fog ambushes around dragon and Rift Herald.
Use superior clear speed and vision denial to out-tempo Darius, forcing him into reactive plays.
Capitalize on gank opportunities post-6 by coordinating with lanes to punish Darius when his (E) is down or after missed engages.
