DECIMATECRIPPLING STRIKEAPPREHENDNOXIAN GUILLOTINE
There is no greater symbol of Noxian might than Darius, the nation's most feared and battle-hardened commander. Rising from humble origins to become the Hand of Noxus, he cleaves through the empire's enemies—many of them Noxians themselves. Knowing that he never doubts his cause is just, and never hesitates once his axe is raised, those who stand against the leader of the Trifarian Legion can expect no mercy.

Solo Baron Item Build & Spells
TIPS: Start your build with 
Ruby Crystal. Next, you should pay attention to whether your mobility champion is enough, our further actions will depend on this. If it is hard for you to dodge the enemy's skills or you want to roam on neighboring lines, then it is better to buy 
Boots of Speed at an early stage.

After taking magic damage from an enemy champion, you gain a magic shield that helps absorb follow-up spells, while the bonus Magic Resistance and Tenacity make you far more resilient against AP threats and crowd control. They are an excellent choice against teams with heavy magic damage and strong CC.TIPS: Finally, for your items, you should build Divine Sunderer (Anti-Health attacks) as your first item, followed by Plated Steelcaps (Reduces damage from champion attacks) or Mercury's Treads (Reduces Magic Damage) depending on the situation. (sometimes it will still be better to build a boot as the first item, which significantly increases the mobility of your champion) the third key element in our build is Spear of Shojin (Gain damage bonuses).
Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in Armored Advance (Grants Armor and a shield). You may want to replace it with Chainlaced Crushers (Gain a magic shield upon taking magic damage), it all depends on your playstyle and the situation on the battlefield.
The remaining last three items are situational, of course you can use the example builds above. But for a more effective game you will need to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.

Increases Movement Speed +350 Max Health +70 Armor +4% Movement SpeedMomentum: Moving builds Momentum, granting up to 40 Move Speed at 100 stacks. Attacking removes all Momentum. Stacks decay when movement is impaired.
Crushing Blow: Attacks deal up to 100 bonus magic damage based on Momentum removed. Melee attacks with max Momentum slows by 75% for 1 second.
2800Dead Man's Plate TIPS: This item provides a substantial boost to health and armor, and its “Momentum” passive builds movement speed as you move—up to a cap—until you land an attack, which then triggers “Crushing Blow”, dealing bonus magic damage based on the momentum removed and slowing enemies at full stacks. This makes it an excellent choice for tanks and bruisers who need extra mobility to engage quickly and sustain through fights. Tips: ideal for champions who need to close distance and absorb damage; pairs extremely well with Spellblade items (e.g., Divine Sunderer) for additional burst damage on engage.ITEM ALTERNATIVES
Instead of Dead Man's Plate
In-combat durability +300 Max Health +50 Armor +50 Magic ResistanceEndurance: Gain 1 stacks of Endurance every 1 seconds while in combat with enemy champions (max 5 stacks). At maximum stacks, gain 20% size, 20% Tenacity, and increase Armor
by 30% and Magic Resistance by 30% until out of combat with champion. 3200Amaranth's Twinguard TIPS: This item is perfect for champions who spend a lot of time in the thick of fights and need extra durability and crowd control resistance. It provides bonuses to armor and magic resistance. The “Endurance” passive stacks up to five times during combat, and at full stacks you increase in size, gain enhanced tenacity, and receive bonus armor and magic resistance until you exit combat. This allows you to stay in the frontline longer and withstand enemy attacks more effectively. Due to its versatile utility, this item is one of the most popular defensive choices in the game and is used by the majority of tanks, fighters, and other classes.ITEM ALTERNATIVES
