Poppy has a much greater difficulty compared to Darius. That means you need to be careful when arranging Poppy teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a much greater level of skill to work well with you.

Playing together, Darius players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Together, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
