Renekton vs Diana

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Renekton should leverage his high early lane pressure to deny Diana a calm scaling mid lane by forcing short, empowered trades.
Prioritize stacking fury and controlling the wave to prevent Diana from safely landing her (Q)-(E) combo or roaming effectively.

Trading pattern

Trade aggressively with high fury using (E) to engage, empowered (W) to stun, then (Q) to heal and exit with the second (E).
Punish Diana immediately after she uses (E) without resetting it on a marked target by stepping forward for a quick trade.
Respect (Q) and (E) cooldowns; avoid trading when her burst combo is available and look to trade when these are down.

Danger windows

Beware when Diana has both (Q) and (E) ready as her burst and mobility threat is highest.
Avoid committing to trades after using both (E) dashes forward, as you lose your escape and can be punished hard.
Track (R) ultimate cooldown and play cautiously during its availability to avoid lethal all-ins.

Early game

Use level 1 and 2 to establish lane control and stack fury before Diana unlocks her full burst at level 3.
Punish Diana when she misses (Q) or uses (E) without a reset to reduce her trading threat.
Avoid extended trades without fury or if both (E) casts are spent to prevent being punished by Diana's burst.

Power spikes

At level 3, use your full (Q), (W), (E) combo with fury stacked to trade safely and punish Diana before she can respond.
At level 6, activate (R) to add health and damage, turning short trades into all-ins when Diana is low or trapped.
Respect Diana's level 3 power spike when she unlocks her (Q)-(W)-(E) combo and her level 6 (R) ultimate; avoid extended fights during these windows.

Win conditions

Snowball early by winning short trades with fury-empowered combos and controlling the wave to deny Diana safe farming.
Use level 6 (R) to convert chip damage into decisive all-ins or dives when Diana is vulnerable.
Exploit Diana's cooldowns and punish missed (Q) or (E) uses to maintain lane dominance and prevent her from scaling.
