Diana vs Jarvan IV

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Diana's fast AoE clear to reach level 6 quickly and leverage her strong mid-game teamfight impact.
Prioritize protecting your farming tempo and avoid early river fights before level 6 when Jarvan's engage is strongest.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears early to hit level 6 and item spikes before forcing fights.
Contest dragon and Rift Herald only when your lanes have priority and Jarvan's engage combo is on cooldown.
Use vision to track Jarvan's gank routes and counter-gank lanes where he commits with (E)+(Q).

Danger windows

Jarvan's level 2-3 gank windows are dangerous; avoid extended jungle fights or overcommitting without lane priority.
Isolated river fights before level 6 can be lethal if Jarvan lands his knockup combo.
Objective setups post-level 6 require caution; Jarvan's (R) can trap you and deny smite access.

Early game

Full clear your jungle toward a safe reset unless a lane has strong setup for ganks.
Avoid fighting for first Scuttle Crab unless nearby lanes have priority and can assist.
Track Jarvan's pathing early to be ready for counter-ganks or to avoid his level 2-3 ganks.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your (Q)+(W)+(E) burst combo; use it to punish Jarvan when he overextends or misses his engage.
Level 6 (R) enables strong all-ins and objective fights; use it to force picks or secure dragons.
Jarvan's level 2-3 (E)+(Q) engage is a threat; respect his early gank windows by avoiding isolated jungle fights.

Win conditions

Convert your faster clear and level 6 power spike into aggressive objective control and skirmishes.
Use your (R) to initiate or disengage in teamfights, focusing on locking down multiple targets.
Track Jarvan's cooldowns and pathing to counter-invade and deny him jungle camps, forcing him behind.
