Diana vs Graves

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize efficient full clears to reach level 6 quickly and avoid early Graves invades.
Use your level 6 (R) to force objective fights where you can catch multiple targets and turn skirmishes.
Manage river control carefully; avoid early Scuttle fights unless your nearby lanes have priority to support.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears and track Graves's pathing to counter-invade when he shows on predictable gank paths.
Fight for Scuttle only when your lanes can move first and you can secure vision control around dragon or Rift Herald.
Use your level 6 (R) to initiate objective fights and skirmishes, leveraging your burst to deny Graves tempo and scaling.

Danger windows

Respect Graves's early invade windows when he can punish weak or slow clears.
Avoid isolated river fights where Graves's ranged burst and mobility give him an advantage.
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite fights where Graves can outduel or outdamage you.

Early game

Start with a full clear toward a safe reset to avoid Graves's strong early invade potential.
Only contest first Scuttle if your lanes have priority and Graves is visible on the opposite side of the map.
Avoid early river fights before level 6 unless you have vision and lane priority to back you up.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your (Q)+(W)+(E) burst combo; use it to punish Graves when he overextends or mispositions.
Level 6 (R) is your main teamfight and all-in tool; use it to force fights around objectives and punish Graves's cooldowns.
After your first AP skirmish item, increase pressure on camps and objectives to deny Graves farm and tempo.

Win conditions

Convert your faster clear speed and level 6 (R) into objective control by forcing fights around dragon and Rift Herald.
Use counter-jungling opportunities when Graves shows on predictable gank paths to deny his scaling.
Leverage your burst and mobility to gank lanes with priority, snowballing leads and controlling river vision to restrict Graves's movement.
