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
  Espada de Prata Lunar

  Cada terceiro Ataque atinge os inimigos próximos, causando Dano Mágico adicional. Depois de conjurar uma Habilidade, Diana recebe Velocidade de Ataque por 5s.

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

• Q
  Golpe Crescente

  Faz um disparo de energia lunar em forma de arco, causando Dano Mágico.Afeta os inimigos atingidos com Plenilúnio, revelando-os por 3s se não estiverem furtivos.

  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
  Cascata Lívida

  Diana cria três esferas orbitantes que detonam ao contato com inimigos, causando dano em área. Ela também ganha um escudo temporário que absorve dano. Se a terceira esfera detonar, o escudo recebe resistência adicional.

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

• E
  Zênite Lunar

  Torna-se a encarnação viva da lua vingativa, avançando contra um inimigo e causando Dano Mágico.Zênite Lunar não tem Tempo de Recarga ao avançar em um inimigo afetado por Plenilúnio. Todos os outros inimigos terão o efeito de Plenilúnio removido independentemente de terem sido o alvo de Zênite Lunar.

  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
  Colapso Minguante

  Diana revela e atrai todos os inimigos próximos e reduz a velocidade deles.Se Diana atrair um ou mais Campeões inimigos, o Plenilúnio cai sobre ela depois de um breve intervalo, causando Dano Mágico em uma área ao seu redor, aumentado a cada alvo atraído além do primeiro.

  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.
