Honestly, Black Cleaver is the most valauable item that Darius can utilize in every single way, and is too much of a niche item to give up on any of his builds.

My usual build path is Black Cleaver first, Murcury Treads or Chainmail and Boots second (depending on matchup, Deadman's Plate third, Spirit Visage fourth, Sterak's Gage fifth and Randuins Omen last.

It's been a pretty staple build for me since Darius's rework and I honestly couldn't imagine playing Darius without it. Those 6 items comepletely negate all of the problems that Darius currently has in his design. With the build it provides, Mobility, Tankiness, Extra Healing, Damage, More armor pen, and Slows too keep slippery adcs within your grasp.

Regarding the comment above, Darius can hardly be considered a dps champion, considering the huge burst potential he has when reaching bloodrage. And honestly if you're playing Darius as just a dps tank then you're not using Darius to any of his full potential. Darius can quite literally 100-0 a tank within a few seconds and with bloodrage he can one shot carries if he can hit his apprehend.

Darius is LITERALLY the only champion i play in League of Legends. I play him because of his insane burst damage and tank pen.
