Diana vs Azir

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Diana is a medium early agency AP diver who wants to pressure Azir and deny his calm scaling lane.
Prioritize short trades and punishing Azir before he sets up soldiers and gains item spikes.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing Q and immediately using E to reset and follow up with W shield.
Avoid missing Q as it leaves you open to Azir's poke and soldier damage.
Respect Azir's soldier zones and Azir R; do not commit E unless you can secure a kill or safely disengage.

Danger windows

Azir is dangerous when soldiers control space and Azir R is available to disengage or isolate.
Avoid committing E when Azir's R is up as it can deny your engage or force you into bad positioning.
Missing Q or using E without reset leaves Diana vulnerable to Azir's poke and counterattack.

Early game

Use level 3 Q + W + E burst combo to threaten Azir before he can safely place soldiers.
Avoid extended fights if E is on cooldown to prevent losing pressure.
Punish Azir if he uses E aggressively without safe exit, as he becomes vulnerable.

Power spikes

Diana's major spikes: level 3 unlocks full Q-W-E burst and shield; level 6 R for all-ins; first completed AP skirmish item.
Azir's major spikes: level 6 Azir R and first completed mage DPS item increase his defensive and poke threat.
Respect Azir's power spikes by avoiding all-in attempts when his R and soldier DPS are active.

Win conditions

Win by landing Q + E + W burst combos when Electrocute is available to quickly chunk or kill Azir.
Deny Azir a calm lane by forcing trades before he can set up soldiers and scale.
Use level 6 R to all-in when Azir's defensive cooldowns (E or R) are down or misused.

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