If your Jax was really "awesome", then you wouldn't be asking how to kill a Darius. Anyway, Darius would actually counter Jax, not the other way around. Darius can just buy warden's mail early game and not have a problem until after lane phase. And Darius can out-trade Jax pretty hard; after hitting level 6 it would just get worse. Since Darius' passive deals true damage, Jax's ult offers no protection what so ever. I would recommend getting life-steal early to be able to withstand his burst without going back every 5 seconds, and rushing trinity force. Trinity force gives Jax major benefits and the synergy between his empower and trinity force give Jax the damage, and sustain to give Darius a run for his money. The most important thing early game is farming. If you can out-farm Darius and hit 6 before him you should be pretty safe. remember to trust your instincts; if Darius pulls you in, it may be better to just fight because Jax is best in extended skirmishes due to his passive and stun. However, Darius is also good in long battles due to his passive and ult synergy. If possible, initiate fights, but after you burst, use your q as an escape, not an initiation. Blade of the ruined king (BORK) is a great item to counter Darius because Darius tends to rely on his tankyness in order to survive long skirmishes. However, BORK does damage based on his health. BORK and Trinity force would be great items to get against a Darius.
