Diana vs Qiyana

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Diana is a burst AP diver who wants to use Q + E + W combo to all-in quickly and punish Qiyana's cooldowns.
Focus on denying Qiyana access to terrain and brush to reduce her element advantage and R threat.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing Q to reset E dash and maximize burst damage.
Punish Qiyana's E if she uses it without setup or escape path by immediately countering with your combo.
Avoid trading when Qiyana has terrain advantage or her R is available near walls or river.

Danger windows

Qiyana is most dangerous when she has the correct element prepared and fights near terrain or river for R impact.
Avoid trading or all-in when Qiyana's R is up and you are near walls or brush.
If you miss Q or use E without reset, you become vulnerable to Qiyana's burst and crowd control.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to trade aggressively with Q + E + W burst when Qiyana commits E without lethal threat.
Avoid extended trades before level 3 as missing Q can lead to heavy punishment from Qiyana.
Keep wave on your side to limit Qiyana's access to river and brush for element setup.

Power spikes

Diana's level 3 unlocks full Q + E + W burst combo with dash reset and shield.
Diana's level 6 R enables strong all-in and teamfight threat.
Respect Qiyana's level 3 element setup with Qiyana Q + W + E for burst trades and level 6 Qiyana R near terrain.

Win conditions

Win by landing your Q + E + W burst combo when Qiyana's mobility or defensive cooldowns are down.
Deny Qiyana terrain and brush access to reduce her element advantage and R threat.
Use level 6 R to force all-ins and turn skirmishes in your favor, especially when Qiyana's R is on cooldown.
