Irelia vs Diana

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Irelia should use her high early agency and mobility to pressure Diana and deny her safe farming windows.
Focus on leveraging minion waves for Q resets to extend trades and punish Diana's cooldowns.

Trading pattern

Use Q resets through low-health minions to engage and extend trades around E or R marks.
Avoid committing without passive stacks or a clear Q reset path to prevent being punished.
Punish Diana's all-in attempts when her E is on cooldown or after she uses Diana Q without follow-up.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Diana's Diana Q and Diana E are available together for burst trades.
Avoid extended fights when you lack passive stacks or Q reset paths, as Diana can punish hard.
Respect Diana R at level 6 as it enables her all-in and crowd control in teamfights.

Early game

Stack passive and look for level 2 power spike with Q and E to threaten stuns and short trades.
Punish Diana if she misses Diana Q to force her out of lane or burn summoners.
Avoid fighting when Diana's E is up and ready to dash on you for burst damage.

Power spikes

Irelia's major spikes: level 2 with Q and E, level 6 with R, and first completed fighter item.
Diana's major spikes: level 3 with Q-W-E burst combo and level 6 with R.
Respect Diana's level 3 burst and level 6 all-in threat by avoiding extended trades without cooldowns.

Win conditions

Use wave control to maintain Q reset paths and force extended trades when Diana's key cooldowns are down.
Capitalize on missed Diana Q or E cooldowns to engage with E stun and R mark for reliable all-ins.
Convert early lane pressure into side-lane roams or skirmishes where Irelia's mobility and resets shine.

Tip: For Irelia vs Diana, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
