Diana vs Lissandra

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Diana is a medium agency AP diver who wants to pressure Lissandra by landing Q + E + W burst trades when electrocute is up.
Focus on denying Lissandra a passive lane state by forcing short trades and punishing her engage cooldowns.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing Q and immediately using E to reset cooldown and follow up with W shield.
Respect Lissandra W root and R stun by avoiding all-ins when these are available.
Punish Lissandra if she uses E forward without follow-up or when R is down to force favorable trades.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Lissandra's R is available, as it can lock you down or negate your all-in.
Avoid engaging when Lissandra's W root is off cooldown and she can punish melee commits.
Watch for Lissandra's E engage path; if she commits without follow-up, capitalize on her vulnerability.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to execute your full Q + E + W combo for strong burst trades.
Avoid committing if you miss Q, as Lissandra can punish before you land Q.
Keep E available to maintain pressure and mobility, as losing it reduces your threat significantly.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 3 unlocks your full burst combo; Level 6 R enhances all-in threat; first completed AP skirmish item boosts damage.
Respect Lissandra's level 6 Lissandra R for her lockdown and self-peel potential.
Lissandra's first completed AP or utility item increases her control and survivability, so adjust aggression accordingly.

Win conditions

Win by landing your Q + E + W burst combo during electrocute windows to quickly chunk or kill Lissandra.
Pressure Lissandra when her R is down to force trades and deny her control.
Use your mobility and shield to outmaneuver Lissandra's engage attempts and create kill opportunities before she scales.
