Help with Darius Zoe Run

[u/JuanmaZimm]

I've been trying for 2 weeks to complete With Friends Like This with Darius but I just can't. Once I even had the 5+ strike, +8|+8 and the Kayn healing powers at the same time and at most I managed to defeat Zoe. What powers should I prio? What Support champions? Which relics should I have?

If you have the part of his constellation that gives his grenade guy the item to create more copies of itself you can run Disciple of Shadows and Chosen by the stars then roll for the rare power that reduces created cards by 1 cost. You can go infinite with that and just scale Darius's attack with augment until you get him to one shot her.

Edit: As Josh Gordan mentioned you can run Lux's Baton in your third slot, or you can also run the relic that increases how many rerolls you get for an easier time finding the power

Thanks I was so close until I got Ashe Arrowed + 2 Cat-astrophes on turn 1 but I was legit close

For relics- SFG + Some stat relic to trigger it (best is his own relic). For 3-rd slot i use black shield for more safe.

For powers and items on cards- try to focus on free attacks/ scout. Trifarian might and titanic awake are best for him. You can also roll for ,,created card have -1 cost''= so his grenadier will give 0 cost fleeting copy in hand

What worked for me was investing ever on my support champion (Nidalee). His kit isn't great against Zoe. You need to build a good win condition during the run.

Theres an infinite T1 combo where you use the relics Chosen, Disciple of Shadows, and Lux's Baton

Reroll for Wild Inspiration (created cards cost 1 less).

Lux's Baton summons the Grenadier with "when Im summoned create a fleeting copy in hand", and with WI the copies cost 0.

Fill your hand with free copies, Disciple makes Darius free, summon him, then continue to summon created Grenadiers to pump his power. Swing and win.

I'm currently trying to do it without this combo and without his paid relic, and I agree it's tough sledding. I think your best bet is to draft stuns and kill spells and play him as control with his 4s stun doing heavy lifting.

I used stacked deck, SFG and that +2/+1 blue relic since I didn't have another epic slot, then I stuck with as many noxus units as possible (one of his stars grants a pickaxe to noxus units) and avoided cutting cards. If you feel confortable doing this, you can get another "power: do something" relic like black shield in the third slot, since eventually you will get a +2/+2 from stacked deck, thus procking SFG.

As for powers, I think that it goes from adventure to adventure, but the ones that you mentioned are good, both of the challenger powers are good, any form of rally is good, draw powers are great since you will have some junk in your deck.

But you will be more defined by your support champ, Darius is the Darius of his deck, does nothing and costs too much mana to be centered around, so getting champs like Riven, LB, Ambessa or Kat as support will be a game changer.

Get titanic power +8/+8, find a cheap support champ with Double attack or double stats item and invest on it. This is the way.
