Full clear efficiently and avoid predictable low-health river paths to reduce punish risk.

Vulnerable during early low-health clears when Darius can invade or force smite fights.
Isolated river fights before level 6 are risky due to Darius's pull and all-in threat.
Objective setups where Darius's lanes have priority increase risk of counter-invades and unfavorable fights.
