Darius vs Jayce in Top lane is a skill matchup on patch 26.14. The one thing to respect: he pokes you 24/7 and perma-freezes the wave under your tower — poke back and punish when he oversteps. Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Trade his poke back

He pokes you nonstop, so poke him back with Q whenever he autos you instead of just soaking his ranged Q.

All-in after 6

At level 6, if he ever walks up too far you can all-in him — as long as you're not below 75% HP.

Level 9 one-shot

If you're even or ahead, at level 9 you can one-shot him with E + AA + W + Q + R + AA.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never all-in him below 75% HP, and never fight him in the side lane when you're behind — you only win while even or ahead.
