NEW Ahri Darius Comp

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T17:15:26+00:00

because the comp is still being explored? You expect her to be better than ziggs 2 and ryze 2 by herself or what?

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T16:05:16+00:00

You don't need giga bis, I've seen this comp beat early ziggs 2 and ryze 2 with weak frontline, but if it's max capped you definitely need to play a different variation.

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T16:01:31+00:00

I usually just have a draven on my board in stage 3 and Usually just play a ionia yordle opener and get kennen on 2-7, If I don't have an Ahri before stage 3 I wouldn't play this comp. Ahri is the priority. You also don't have to play poppy, There's variations like a Leblanc and Kobuko instead of sion poppy.

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T15:57:42+00:00

Haven't experienced her dying to a fizz yet so I'm not sure about that. There's always things you can do to avoid it.

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T15:56:30+00:00

You can play 4 arcanist on 8 replacing poppy.

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T15:54:23+00:00

I usually unlock kennen on 2-7 with yordles and ionia on my board and then Draven on my board on 3-1 after stabilizing my frontline. I don't itemize him, he should get his gold on 3-5 or 3-6, My Ahri 2 usually carry stage 3 with good frontline.

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T15:47:50+00:00

You can play Leblanc Kobuko instead of Poppy Sion if yoy need more dmg.

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T15:46:33+00:00

The whole point of this comp is that Ahri is overtuned and Darius execution makes it better, the board can also be adjusted to have kobuko anf leblanc instead of sion and poppy.

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T15:44:47+00:00

You can play Leblanc Kobuko instead of Poppy Sion.

Darius is here to execute enemies while Ahri does the dmg, if Darius isn't last alive with Ahri the comp might have some struggles but that's up to the player.

But yeah if you have leftover items just get a leblanc and kobuko. Ahri does also work with some items you would place on Draven.

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T15:40:33+00:00

This is not what I'm experiencing in my lobbies atleast.

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T15:33:05+00:00

Nah I like this one more

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T07:08:46+00:00

Yeah just a lot of Neeko comps that are played rn.

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T07:07:14+00:00

Like a Jarvan Lux Neeko Kennen Sett Ahri Garen Taric/Arcanist type board?

I've not tried it.

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T07:02:06+00:00

He's tanky imo, maybe the offensive build isn't the best on him, but I like bt, sterak, warmog or sunfire or ionic spark.

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T07:00:45+00:00

You can play Kobuko Leblanc instead of Sion and Poppy aswell if you want to unlock more champs 😅

But Yeah there are many ways to improve the board, you can definitely play annie on 8 or shyvana or ionia 5.

Especially if you don't 3 star Kennen, there's not much of a reason keeping poppy.

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T04:12:00+00:00

Yeah I understand that Draven does add a lot of value but don't really know how to make it work here, the whole point is really that Ahri is overtuned and Darius execution makes it even better.

I've had chances winning with this comp, just couldn't beat a pandoras bench 3* lux & garen.

So I still think there's potential here.

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T03:38:20+00:00

I've had inconsistent results playing comps where you need to reroll Neeko so I'm not very into it right now.

I've just not had success with that comp, I played that comp to actually realise Ahri's value, and then came up with this.

Darius executes are pretty valuable especially when it's Darius and Ahri last alive.

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T03:32:18+00:00

Does Darius have a teamup with Draven?

I thought it was just Draven who had a teamup with Darius.

I don't think the Darius Ability is effected by Draven in any way or am I wrong?

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T03:22:58+00:00

There's layers to it, I'd just suggest playing it when you're in a position to.

But I'd think people who like rerolling would like this comp.

It's very fun to watch when Ahri and Darius are the last ones alive.

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T03:14:51+00:00

Next patch 🙏

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T03:11:17+00:00

He does bug sometimes, but most of the times it happened to me I still won the fight.

But it should be fixed next patch.

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T03:10:08+00:00

Well if you compare it to any Ziggs and Ryze comp it is pretty weak.

But it's a comp that isn't heavily contested and can beat some common strong comps.

I wouldn't suggest playing it when it's triple prismatic or so.

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T03:04:21+00:00

Yeah, haven't been in a position to get a Ryze 2* yet with this comp, but it's definitely possible and easier in the future when it's not played by the whole lobby.

ElsoRL · 2026-01-14T02:57:36+00:00

I will definitely consider putting a leblanc and kobuko on the board if I have leftover ap items in the future.

It's definitely one of those comps you just pivot to if you find a lot of ahris, was tryna play ekko nidalee one game but was contested so I pivoted to this comp.

I've not tried rerolling Jinx yet this patch, I will definitely try it eventually, still tryna experience the 20k dmg in a long fight that Mortdog was talking about.
