Darius Top build guide: runes, items and skill order
This Darius Top build covers League of Legends patch 16.20. Compare the selected runes, starting items and core purchases before the match, then adapt your later purchases to enemy damage and defenses. The source recommendations use the Bronze filter across all servers.
For Darius runes, this setup uses Conqueror with Sorcery as the secondary path. Check the highlighted stat shards as well: they are part of the rune page, not extra items. Hover or tap a rune to read its effect before deciding whether it suits your matchup.
The displayed Darius skill order starts with W and prioritizes Q → E → W. The level-by-level grid covers the first 15 levels supplied by the source. Follow that sequence as a reference while accounting for what your lane or team needs. Item win rates describe completed purchases and should be read alongside their game counts.
Which items should you build on Darius Top?
The most popular core items in this Darius Top build are Youmuu's Ghostblade → Dead Man's Plate → Death's Dance. Check starting items and boots separately, then compare later item options against the enemy team. This is a reference for patch 26.20, not a fixed purchase order for every match.
Which runes should you choose for Darius Top?
For the selected Bronze rank filter, the rune page uses Conqueror with Sorcery. Review each rune tooltip and the selected stat shards before entering champion select.
How do you compare Darius builds by rank?
Use the rank selector to view a separate build and win rate for Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Diamond, Master, Grandmaster or Challenger. Keep the same role when comparing. A small sample is less reliable, and a higher win rate alone does not prove a better build.
How this build works

Read the sample
The core combination has an observed win rate of 57.82% across 4,696 games. These are games that reached this purchase combination, not all games played by the champion. A completed build can appear stronger because winning players can afford more items.
