By locking into the same side as Lucian, he decreases their win rate by -1.0% to 47.8%. This demonstrates that there is a weak synergy between Lucian and Darius that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Darius has a much lower diffuclty than Lucian. That means you don't need to be very careful when arranging Darius teammates to fight alongside, as they will require a much lower level of skill to fight well with you.

Playing alongside, Lucian players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Regardless of your Darius ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
