Diana vs Shen

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize efficient full clears to hit level 6 and item spikes on tempo before forcing fights against Shen.
Use Diana's high objective control and burst to pressure dragons and Rift Herald when river control is secured.
Manage river vision tightly to avoid Shen's counter-ganks and global (R) plays that can turn fights elsewhere.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing that secures early Scuttle and dragon vision to leverage Diana's objective control.
Invade or counter-invade when Shen is spotted on opposite side or after he uses (E) taunt away from camps.
Use level 6 (R) to force objective fights where multi-target pull can secure kills or objectives.

Danger windows

Respect (E) taunt threat during early clears and river fights; avoid isolated skirmishes without vision.
Be cautious contesting objectives when (R) is available, as he can turn fights with a global shield and teleport.
Avoid low-health clears or forced smite fights where Shen's tankiness and taunt can punish Diana's burst cooldowns.

Early game

Start with a full clear toward a safe reset to avoid early Shen invades and to reach level 6 faster.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority and can back up river fights.
Avoid early fights without level 6 as Diana's dueling is medium and Shen's taunt can punish missed engages.

Power spikes

At level 3, use (Q)+(E)+(W) combo to burst camps or invade when (E) is on cooldown.
At level 6, leverage (R) for multi-target skirmishes and objective control, punishing Shen's global cooldown.
After first AP skirmish item, increase pressure on camps and objectives to deny Shen scaling and force fights on your terms.

Win conditions

Convert faster clears and level 6 power spike into aggressive objective control and dragon setups.
Use (Q)+(E)+(W) burst combos to punish Shen's cooldowns and force him off camps or objectives.
Track (R) usage to exploit his side-lane absence by invading or pressuring unprotected objectives.
