Kindred vs Diana

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize contesting marks and river fights only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky 1v1s with Diana.
Use Kindred's ranged dueling and mobility to kite Diana in river skirmishes and maintain objective control.
Focus on scaling through marks and ranged objective DPS to outpace Diana's burst and all-in threat.

Jungle Plan

Path around expected mark spawns and prioritize securing them when nearby lanes have priority to maximize scaling.
Contest first Scuttle only if you have lane priority or vision advantage to avoid Diana's burst engage.
Use ranged poke and kiting to control river fights and set up dragon or Rift Herald when Diana commits to farming or resets.

Danger windows

Avoid river fights when (Q) and (E) are up, especially pre-level 6, as she can burst and dash resets aggressively.
Be cautious contesting objectives without vision as Diana's mobility and shield let her force or escape fights.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights are risky since Diana can punish overextensions with her burst and engage.

Early game

Start with a clear path that secures early marks and positions you for first Scuttle only if your lanes can move first.
Avoid fighting Diana early unless you have vision and lane priority to prevent her burst combo from punishing you.
Use your mobility to safely contest or counter-invade after level 3 when marks spawn and lanes show pressure.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlock gives Diana burst combo; avoid giving her spacing or minion advantage to start it cleanly.
Level 6 (R) on Diana is a strong all-in; respect this window and save your (R) for defensive resets or extended fights.
Kindred scales strongly with marks and items; secure early marks to reach high DPS for objective control and skirmishes.

Win conditions

Convert lane priority into securing early marks and Scuttle to build Kindred's scaling power.
Use ranged kiting and (R) to control extended objective fights and deny Diana's all-in engages.
Track Diana's cooldowns and pathing to counter-invade and force her into unfavorable skirmishes, denying her tempo and scaling.
