How to beat Diana

Common role: Jungle / Mid

An AP diver who leaps in, pulls the team together and bursts it down.

What makes Diana dangerous

Diana throws a Q crescent, shields herself (E in newer patches pulls), and her ultimate pulls all nearby enemies to her for a huge AoE reset. Against a grouped team she can flash-R and delete multiple squishies. Her shield lets her survive the dive.

How to play against Diana

• 1Never clump low: her ult only reaches enemies near her, so spread out.
• 2Poke her before level 6 and before she gets her shield up — she is melee.
• 3She is very mana-hungry early; bait her Q and W and punish the empty mana bar.
• 4Hard CC her the instant she dashes in — interrupted, her whole combo falls apart.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Mana-starved in the early game.
• ✓Relies on her ult to engage; without it she is easily kited.
• ✓Squishy once her shield pops — burst her down.
• ✓Predictable engage range — dodge the initial Q.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Diana's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  繊月の刃

  通常攻撃3回ごとに周囲の敵に追加魔法ダメージを与える。スキル使用後、5秒間、攻撃速度が増加する。

  Strong: every third hit deals bonus AoE magic damage. Weak: needs three autos — she is melee, so deny her the stacks.

• Q
  月影

  弧を描くように月の力を放ち、命中した敵ユニットに魔法ダメージを与える。命中した敵には「月光」を付与し、ステルス状態の敵をのぞいて3秒間可視状態にする。

  Strong: a crescent that marks you for her dash and deals AoE. Weak: slow-travelling and easy to sidestep — dodge it and she can't gap-close.

• W
  朧月の羽衣

  体の周囲を3つの月光の玉が旋回し、敵と接触すると爆発して有効範囲内の敵ユニットにダメージを与える。さらに発動と同時に、ダイアナを守るシールドが発生する。3つ目の光の玉が爆発すると、シールドを再び展開する。

  Strong: an orbiting shield that blocks poke and refreshes on hits. Weak: once popped she is squishy — burst her while it's down.

• E
  月下美刃

  復讐心に燃える月の化身となり、敵のところまでダッシュして魔法ダメージを与える。「月光」が付与された敵に使用した場合、クールダウンがリセットされると同時に、全ての敵ユニットの「月光」が解除される。

  Strong: a dash that only reaches a Q-marked target, enabling her all-in. Weak: no mark, no dash — dodge her Q and she can't engage.

• R
  崩月

  周囲のすべての敵を可視化して自身の方向に引き寄せ、スロウ効果を与える。1体以上の敵チャンピオンを引き寄せると、少ししてから自身の上に月光が降り注ぎ、周囲の範囲内の敵に魔法ダメージを与える。このダメージは2体目以降に引き寄せた対象が1体増えるごとに増加する。

  Strong: pulls all nearby enemies to her for a huge AoE reset. Weak: short range and only hits those clustered near her — spread out.

Itemization

Magic resist and health blunt her burst: Mercury's Treads, Hexdrinker/Maw, Kaenic Rookern. A Zhonya's hard-counters her all-in.
