Hemorrhage 2

Noxian Might: Darius gains 30 − 230 (based on level) Attack damage icon bonus attack damage and instantly applies 5 Hemorrhage stacks through his usual means.

Info
  • If Hemorrhage's total post-mitigation damage is higher than the target's current health, a small area of Sight icon sight is granted around the target for the duration of Hemorrhage and for another 2 seconds after it ends.
  • Hemorrhage does not apply to structures nor Ward icon wards.
  • Darius' attacks and abilities have to deal damage to apply Hemorrhage.
    • Hemorrhage cannot be applied to/refreshed against Cosmic Radiance invulnerable targets.
    • Hemorrhage can be applied to and refreshed against Hybrid resistances icon shielded targets.
    • Hemorrhage can also be applied On-hit icon on-hit, but will specifically not do so if the target is invulnerable.
  • Spell Shield Spell shield prevents Hemorrhage's application from abilities only.

Edit

Decimate

Decimate

Active: Darius hefts his axe for 0.75 seconds, and then swings it around himself, dealing physical damage to nearby enemies, reduced to 35% against enemies hit by the inner radius.

Physical Damage:
50 / 80 / 110 / 140 / 170 (+ 100 / 110 / 120 / 130 / 140% AD)
Reduced Damage:
17.5 / 28 / 38.5 / 49 / 59.5 (+ 35 / 38.5 / 42 / 45.5 / 49% AD)

Against champions and large monsters hit, Darius Heal power icon heals for Health icon 15% − 45% (based on number of targets hit by the outer radius) of his missing health. Enemies hit by the inner radius do not refresh the duration of or gain a new stack of Hemorrhage Hemorrhage.

Darius is unable to declare basic attacks or cast Apprehend Apprehend or Noxian Guillotine Noxian Guillotine during Decimate.

Info
  • Decimate will cancel if Darius enters Stasis icon stasis or uses Dash Dash during the delay.
    • After the delay, Decimate will be placed on a 1-second cooldown.

Edit

Crippling Strike

Crippling Strike

Active: Darius empowers his next basic attack within 4 seconds to have an Relentless Force 2 uncancellable windup, gain Range icon 25 bonus range, deal modified physical damage and Slow icon slow the target by 90% for 1 second.

Physical Damage:
140 / 145 / 150 / 155 / 160% AD

If this attack kills the target, half of Crippling Strike's Cooldown icon cooldown is reduced and its Mana icon mana cost is refunded.

Crippling Strike's total damage is affected by Critical strike icon critical strike modifiers.

Crippling Strike Bladework resets Darius' basic attack timer.

Info

Edit

Apprehend

Passive: Darius gains Armor penetration icon armor penetration.

Armor Penetration:
20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40%
Apprehend

Active: Darius sweeps his axe in a cone in the target direction, granting Sight icon sight of the area for 1 second while Airborne icon pulling enemies hit towards him. Upon arrival, they rebound 150 units off of him, remaining Airborne icon airborne and becoming Slow icon slowed by 40% for 1 second.

Darius is unable to move or cast Decimate Decimate or Noxian Guillotine Noxian Guillotine for 0.4 seconds after Apprehend's cast time.

Info
  • Enemies hit by Apprehend will quickly be dragged to Darius before rebounding over a longer period.
    • The Slow icon slow duration starts as soon as the target rebounds off of Darius.
    • PENDING FOR TEST:: The rebound location is determined when the target reaches Darius' location.
    • The rebound's forced movement's duration is roughly 0.5 seconds, finishing before the Airborne icon airborne duration ends.
    • PENDING FOR TEST:: There is no Stun icon stun applied for the same duration of the Airborne icon airborne, meaning Brittle icon brittle cannot extend the disable duration. It will not increase the Slow icon slow duration in most situations because of the negative tenacity falling off before the slow is applied.
  • After the pull, Darius will attempt to basic attack the closest pulled target, prioritizing enemy champions.
  • The armor penetration Multiple stacking icon stacks multiplicatively with other forms of percentage armor penetration.
  • This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.

    Noxian Guillotine

    Noxian Guillotine

    Active: Darius attempts to execute the target enemy Champion icon champion, Bear Stance leaping towards them to deal Hybrid penetration icon true damage, increased by 0% − 100% (based on Hemorrhage Hemorrhage stacks), and granting Sight icon sight of the area around them for 2.5 seconds from the start of the cast time.

    True Damage:
    125 / 250 / 375 (+ 75% bonus AD)

    25 / 50 / 75 (+ 15% bonus AD)

    If the target dies within 0.15 seconds after being hit by Noxian Guillotine, Darius Flee icon fears nearby Minion icon minions and Monster icon monsters for 3 seconds, during which they are gradually Slow icon slowed by up to 99% over the duration. He can also recast the ability within 20 seconds at no cost, which refreshes on further executions.

    At rank 3, Noxian Guillotine has no Mana icon mana cost and recast timer.

    Darius is unable to cast Decimate Decimate or Apprehend Apprehend for 0.25 seconds after Noxian Guillotine's cast time.

    Info
    • Noxian Guillotine's cooldown after the recast or recast window is calculated by taking the values at the end, and using this formula: (Noxian Guillotine's Cooldown - time since first cast) × 100 ÷ (100 + Cooldown reduction icon AH).
    • Noxian Guillotine applies Hemorrhage Hemorrhage after the damage.
    • Darius will only leap towards the target if it is at range, or leap backwards if it is very close.
      • This leap can pass very thin terrain and will otherwise not be able to. In any case, Darius will still hit the target.
      • The ability is disabled while Grounded icon grounded or Root icon rooted even if Darius is in the range in which he does not leap.
    • Noxian Guillotine will not reset nor trigger Noxian Might Noxian Might if used to kill a Command Hallucinate clone or a target protected by Revival icon resurrection.
    • Noxian Guillotine will reset but not trigger Noxian Might Noxian Might if it finishes off a target that is in a Zombie icon zombie state.
    • If the target becomes Untargetable icon untargetable, Death dies, or is too far away or no longer in Sight icon sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on Cooldown icon cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).

    Original
    RP 880
    22.05.2012
    There is no greater symbol of Noxian might than Darius, the nation’s most feared and battle-hardened leader. Rising from humble origins to become the Hand of Noxus, he cleaves through the empire’s enemies—many of them Noxians themselves. Knowing that he never doubts his cause is just, and never hesitates once his axe is raised, those who stand against the commander of the Trifarian Legion can expect no mercy.
