Nasus vs Diana

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Prioritize efficient jungle clears and avoid early fights to preserve scaling against Diana's burst and mobility.
Control river vision and avoid Scuttle contests unless your lanes have priority to prevent risky skirmishes.
Focus on scaling through stacking (Q) and leverage side-lane pressure with (W) and (R) later in the game.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing that secures jungle camps efficiently to hit scaling breakpoints before engaging in fights.
Fight for river control and dragon setups only when your lanes have priority to safely contest against Diana's strong objective control.
Track Diana's movements to counter-gank effectively and punish her predictable all-in patterns post-level 6.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when (Q) and (E) burst and mobility are at their peak.
Be cautious contesting objectives when low on health or smite is down, as Diana's sustained magic damage can secure kills or steals.
Respect Diana's level 6 (R) window during objective setups and ganks; hold defensive tools to survive or disengage.

Early game

Start with a full clear to safely reach level 3 before considering river or invade plays.
Avoid early invades unless Diana is tracked on the opposite side or caught out, as her (E) mobility and (Q) burst punish overextensions.
Contest first Scuttle only if your laners have priority and can assist, otherwise prioritize safe farming and pathing toward objectives.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) greatly increases your durability and extended fight threat; use it to hold ground in skirmishes where Diana cannot kite effectively.
High (Q) stacks mark a major dueling threshold; pressure side lanes to force Diana to respond and prevent her from roaming freely.
Respect Diana's level 3 burst combo; avoid fights without (W) slow ready or sufficient (Q) stacks to punish her all-in attempts.

Win conditions

Use safe early clears and vision control to deny Diana safe river access and force her into less optimal farming paths.
Scale through stacking (Q) and leverage (W) slow plus (R) durability to dominate side-lane duels and force enemy responses.
Convert jungle tempo into objective control by coordinating with laners to contest dragon and Rift Herald when Diana's key abilities are on cooldown.
