Who Wins
- You lose most trades pre-6 due to Diana's superior damage and shield, but can minimize losses with Q-auto trades when she uses abilities on minions.
- Post-6 you win through superior mobility and sustained damage, as your R lets you engage/disengage at will while her R is telegraphed.
How to Trade
- Use Q-auto when Diana wastes Q on minions, then immediately back off with the movement speed buff.
- Post-6, R in for W-E-auto-Q combos when her abilities are down, then R away before she can retaliate.
Wave Control
- Give up CS early to avoid unnecessary damage and focus on last-hitting safely with Q when possible.
- After 6, match her shoves with R-W-E clears and look for short trades, as you outscale heavily.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match Diana's early push without taking significant poke damage, as you lack waveclear tools pre-6.
- Never waste R stacks for farming when Diana has R available, as you need the mobility to escape her all-in potential.
