Darius I

Sx13 • Archers Melee Commander • Front Row

Commander's Tactical Evaluation

Reviewed by Don
“Darius I is a frontline archer melee bruiser built around status-based life steal. His Skill 2 inflicts Panicked on two enemy squads, and his Skills 5 and 8 grant up to 100% skill life steal whenever he and your squads deal skill damage to enemies that are Poisoned, Bleeding, or Panicked. Because his durability depends entirely on hitting targets with those specific statuses, he is a niche frontline choice who needs to be paired with heroes like Poison Master, Belisarius, or Lust Angel.”

Deployment Summary: Darius I is a Melee commander introduced in Sx13 (rated Medium Tier). Commands Archers in the Front row, following an unlock priority of 6th - 8th - 7th.
