Why this duo works

Anivia's Glacial Storm(R) slows enemies, and Anivia players say that slow helps bruisers and fighters get into range; that suits Darius, who must reach melee range to stack Hemorrhage(P). Darius can then use Apprehend(E) to pull a target toward him while Anivia follows with Flash Frost(Q), extending the crowd-control chain.

Playing the duo

Glacial Storm(R) slows enemies, helping Darius reach melee range to build Hemorrhage(P); Anivia players specifically describe her slow as useful for bruisers and fighters trying to reach a target.

How to play as Darius

Follow Anivia's Glacial Storm(R) slow when chasing a target into melee range, then use attacks and abilities to build Hemorrhage(P) stacks before Noxian Guillotine(R).

How to play as Anivia

When Darius lands Apprehend(E), aim Flash Frost(Q) at the pulled target if you have a clear line; adding your stun helps keep them in place while Darius builds Hemorrhage(P) stacks.
