ITEM BUILD>
Start:
cloth-armorhealth-potion5 OR boots-of-speedhealth-potion3

Obviously get:wriggles-lantern

Be a bro, every time you go back buy: sight-wardor x2

The most useful item I have found useful thus far:trinity-force

Follow up with: warmogs-armoratmas-impaler or, thus far I have seen some succeed with only :guardian-angelinfinity-edgemaw-of-malmortius

Example final build:mercurys-treadstrinity-forcethe-bloodthirsterguardian-angelmaw-of-malmortiuslast-whisper

Note: this guide is still a work in progress, so it will be updated, and will be more in-depth in the near future.

    Not a great guide, and StrafeScratchEUW pretty much said it all; This is 'ok' in normals (though way low on survivability, which you need), and honestly you don't need all this damage, especially with Darius' naturally high damage from his skill set. Inf edge is pretty shit on darius, don't know why it appears anywhere in this guide, especially at the top in optional item builds. Atmog's is meh now that atma's has been nerfed, though it's not TOO bad on Darius. Personally if you're gonna buy Atma's I think you should skip trinity, and just go for a Fratma's build. Gives you that utility to lock down anyone you drag in so your team can make em pay for getting in your hook range. T-force takes way too long to build for a jungler. 90% of games should end after your third item (maybe before), but if your first item costs 4k, then you might not even get THAT far. Also, HoG is the way to go for early HP and GP5, which you need if you're jungleing in this game. Even Udyrs gets it most of the time, and they're farming machines.

    Overall I think this needs work. Darius is OK in the jungle, though his clear times at early levels aren't great compared to the top tier junglers. And with this build, you won't be far enough along given your jungle farm to have enough of your damage items, which are very expensive, and since you don't build any low-cost survivability you're not gonna last long in teamfights.

    I'd suggest looking into just building an early HoG, Phage, and maybe an Aegis (with a lantern in there of course). This'll give you a respectable HP pool, some nice utility from Phage, more gold form your GP10, and a good team aura at a very low cost. From there you can really do whatever, based on team comps. Just some thoughts, might wanna think about it.

    I agree with you, Strafe. I jungle for my team, and it is hard to build a triforce and atmog's. If anyone wants, I believe my guide is more sensible.

    Not advertising, but it might help those who dislike this guide.

    You really need to extend all area's of this guide for it to be any good. Also, if your guide is a work in progress, don't post it. Wait for it to be mostly done.

    One question how did u get ur images in the chapters?
  • Gianneh

    Personally I would go for an early HoG, since building a Rad Omen is really good on Darius.
    But hey, that's just me.

    Also, I agree with Strafe.

    People need to learn that junglers dont have a solid income compared to laners. Triforce + atmogs is just overkill really in a ranked game its rare u would even get to finish triforce before people wanna teamfight and then u´ll be low in dmg output compared to ur team. Therefor this is not an optimal guide im sorry.
