Diana vs Akshan

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Diana is a medium pressure AP assassin who wants to punish Akshan's short range and mobility cooldowns.
Focus on denying Akshan's roam potential by maintaining lane control and punishing his engage attempts.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing Q and immediately use E to reset and follow up with W shield.
Punish Akshan if he uses Akshan E forward and misses or is interrupted.
Avoid committing all-in without Q as missing it leaves you vulnerable to counter trades.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Akshan's Akshan E and Akshan R are available as they enable his burst and mobility.
Avoid trading if you miss Q as you lose pressure and can be punished hard.
Watch for Akshan's roam timing using W camouflage; punish by pushing wave and taking plates.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to trade aggressively with Q + W + E burst when electrocute is up.
Respect Akshan's high early pressure and avoid extended trades before level 3.
Keep wave on your side to reduce Akshan's roam threat from W camouflage.

Power spikes

Major spikes: level 3 unlocks Diana's full Q-W-E burst with dash reset and shield.
Level 6 R enables strong all-in and teamfight threat.
Respect Akshan's level 2 Q + E power spike and level 6 Akshan R for burst damage.

Win conditions

Win lane by landing Q + E + W combo with electrocute up to burst Akshan before he can retaliate.
Punish Akshan's missed Akshan E aggressively to deny his lane pressure and roam.
Use level 6 R to force all-ins or teamfights where Diana's burst and crowd control excel.

Tip: For Diana vs Akshan, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
