The Riot recommended first item (RePe for Darius) gives, however, Riot's sincere opinion on what are Darius' shortcomings at lvl1.

Darius is always at risk for exposure all game long and you should always keep in mind that you cannot spin-out/leap-out like other high-mobility carries/fighters can.

No matter how you start item-wise, as Darius you MUST be prepared for the possibility of being forced to endlessly defend your turret against 2 big-boobed bitches with guns and lights and kama and whirwinds and arrows and the rest of silly ammunitions.

This is where health regeneration comes into. Health potions are ALSO a form of health regeneration, with a time-limit.

You MUST accept your short range as a very big drawback at lvls 1 to 5.
