Viego into Dariusmedium

Overview

Focus on skirmishes where stun starts takedowns and triggers resets.
Prioritize river fights with lane support to secure first takedown and snowball.
Avoid isolated fights before item progress to prevent Darius's early duel advantage.

Path toward lanes with strong priority to leverage ganks and convert kills into objectives.
Fight for river control and first Scuttle when lane priority supports it, then snowball resets.
Shadow volatile lanes for counter-ganks instead of blind invades against Darius early.

Avoid isolated river fights before your first reset; one takedown can flip the fight.
Respect pull and execute availability; stepping too close without cooldowns is lethal.
Be cautious contesting objectives low health or without lane support; Darius punishes forced smite fights.

Complete a stable clear to hit level 3 on time for river Scuttle fights.
Contest first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority and vision is secured.
Avoid early invades without lane priority or reset threat to prevent being punished.

Level 6 unlocks execute and repositioning; seek skirmishes enabling reset chains.
First fighter item boosts sustained dueling and reset potential; fight near lanes that can move first.
Beware Darius's level 6 execute; avoid extended fights without reset chances.

Use stun to initiate skirmishes with lane priority and chain resets with executions.
Convert reset kills into dragon and Rift Herald control by maintaining river vision and tempo.
Deny Darius early scaling by contesting camps and forcing fights before his first item completes.
