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
  月银之刃

  每第三次攻击就会溅射周围的敌人，造成额外的魔法伤害。在施放一个技能后，黛安娜获得持续5秒的攻击速度。

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

• Q
  新月打击

  释放一道月能光束，对弧形范围内的敌人造成伤害。会对命中的敌人施加月光效果，如果中了月光效果的敌人不在潜行状态下，就会暴露在己方视野中3秒。

  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
  苍白之瀑

  黛安娜召出三颗护体法球，在命中敌人后爆炸，对一个区域内的敌人造成范围伤害。她也会获得一层吸收伤害的护盾。护盾的生命值会在她的第三颗法球爆炸后得到提升。

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

• E
  月神冲刺

  成为复仇之月的活化身，冲向一名敌人并造成魔法伤害。【月神冲刺】在冲达一名被施加了【月光】效果的敌人时，会没有冷却时间。所有其它的敌人都将移除掉身上的【月光】效果，无论他们是否是【月神冲刺】的目标。

  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
  月之降临

  黛安娜将附近所有敌人显形并拉拽到身边，然后使他们减速。如果黛安娜将1个或以上的敌方英雄拉拽到身边，那么月光会在短暂延迟后倾注在她身上，在她附近的一个区域内造成魔法伤害，每拉拽一个额外目标就会使这个伤害提升。

  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.
