Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use medium lane pressure to deny Diana safe burst trades and scaling opportunities.
Focus on landing (R) for picks and follow up with (Q) and (W) for quick burst kills.
Manage mana carefully to avoid forced pushes that expose you to Diana's all-ins.

Trading pattern

Trade with (Q) + (W) when your passive stun is ready to maximize burst and interrupt Diana's engage.
Punish Diana immediately if she misses (Q) by stepping forward for quick burst trades.
Avoid trading when (E) is available, as she can reset and all-in predictably.

Danger windows

Beware when (Q) and (E) are off cooldown, as her burst and engage threat peaks.
Avoid extended trades if forced to push with low mana from (W) usage, as you become vulnerable.
Respect Diana's level 6 (R) all-in threat and teamfight impact; hold key defensive tools.

Early game

Farm safely until level 6 to unlock (R) for pick and burst potential.
Avoid pushing with (W) early to conserve mana and reduce vulnerability to Diana's engage.
Respect (Q) cooldown to avoid her burst combo and punish her if she misses it.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling strong pick potential and burst damage; use it for all-ins or roams.
First completed AP item significantly boosts your burst and wave control, increasing trade threat.
Respect Diana's level 3 spike when she unlocks her (Q)-(W)-(E) burst combo with dash reset and shield.

Win conditions

Use (R) to find picks and follow up with (Q) and (W) to burst Diana before she engages.
Punish Diana's missed (Q) or wasted (E) cooldowns with immediate aggressive trades.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Diana safe scaling and reduce her roam and all-in windows.
