Who Wins
- You lose early levels 1-3 as Diana's Q-W combo outdamages your Q-E trades and she has better sustain with her shield.
- At level 6, you still lose the all-in since Diana's R-Q-W burst is more reliable than your combo and she can interrupt your ultimate channeling.
How to Trade
- You should look for quick Q-E-W trades when Diana uses Q on minions, then immediately back off before she can retaliate with her full combo.
- Never commit to extended trades as her passive and W shield will out-sustain your damage output.
Wave Control
- You need to push waves quickly with Q bounces and roam to side lanes since you cannot match Diana's kill pressure in lane.
- Focus on clearing waves efficiently and looking for picks on the map rather than trying to fight Diana directly.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must avoid using your E aggressively when Diana has her Q available, as she can easily land it on your predictable dash location and follow up with a devastating combo.
- Never channel your ultimate when Diana has any gap-closing abilities available as she will interrupt it instantly.
