Jax vs Diana

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Jax's superior late-game dueling and scaling to control side objectives and force Diana to respond.
Prioritize safe full clears and avoid early river fights to prevent Diana's burst combo from punishing overextensions.

Jungle Plan

Focus on efficient full clears and track Diana's path to counter-gank when she attempts early ganks using her burst combo.
Fight for river control and Scuttle only if your lanes have priority, enabling safer setups for Dragon and Rift Herald.
Use your stronger dueling and scaling post-level 6 to pressure side lanes, deny Diana's jungle camps, and force her to respond.

Danger windows

Beware Diana's level 3 all-in when her (Q)+(E) combo and (E) reset are available.
Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Diana can burst with her combo and shield.
Be cautious contesting objectives early if Diana's lanes have priority or her ultimate (R) is available for teamfight engages.

Early game

Opt for a full clear route to reach level 6 quickly and avoid early river fights where Diana's burst and shield combo dominate.
Contest Scuttle Crab only when nearby lanes have priority to reduce risk of Diana's all-in potential.
Avoid invading before level 6 as (Q)+(E) burst and shield make early duels unfavorable.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for Jax, increasing durability and sustained damage; use this to take extended fights when (E) is available.
Respect Diana's level 3 (Q)+(W)+(E) burst combo; avoid trades before your defensive cooldowns are ready.
Jax's two-item spike greatly enhances splitpush threat; force side-lane pressure to capitalize on this advantage.

Win conditions

Use superior scaling and dueling power post-level 6 to pressure side lanes, forcing Diana to respond and opening map objectives.
Deny Diana jungle camps through counter-jungling when your lanes have priority, slowing her tempo and item progression.
Secure vision and river control to contest Dragons and Rift Herald, leveraging your dueling strength to win objective fights after level 6.
