Diana vs Aurelion Sol

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Diana is a medium pressure AP diver who wants to use her Q+E+W burst combo to punish Aurelion Sol's weak early game.
Focus on denying Aurelion Sol his safe scaling by applying lane pressure and forcing short trades before he can fully use his kit.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing Q and immediately using E to reset and follow up with W for shield and burst.
Exploit Aurelion Sol's reliance on landing Q and W by dodging these to prevent his poke and waveclear.
Avoid trading when E is on cooldown since your pressure and mobility drop significantly.

Danger windows

Be cautious when you miss Q as it leaves you vulnerable to Aurelion Sol's poke and counter trades.
Avoid committing to trades or all-ins without E available, as your pressure and escape options drop.
Respect level 6 R power spike for both champions; Aurelion Sol's upgraded ultimate increases his threat in skirmishes and roams.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to engage quick burst trades with Q+E+W combo before Aurelion Sol can respond.
Punish Aurelion Sol's low early agency by forcing all-ins before he completes key items or upgrades his ultimate.
Avoid missing Q as it opens you to counterattack; E cooldown management is critical to maintain pressure.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 3 unlocks full Q+E+W burst and mobility combo; Level 6 R enables strong all-ins and teamfight impact.
Respect Aurelion Sol's late game spike when his ultimate upgrades and he completes Rylais, increasing his roaming and teamfight threat.
First completed AP item enhances your burst and survivability, increasing kill potential in lane.

Win conditions

Use your level 3 burst combo to punish Aurelion Sol's weak early game and deny his scaling.
Maintain pressure by landing Q and resetting with E to force Aurelion Sol out of lane or summoner spells.
Capitalize on your R for all-ins and teamfight impact to snowball leads before Aurelion Sol reaches late game power.
