Who Wins
- Pre-6 you dominate through superior range, sustain, and consistent DPS with Q-W-E poke patterns.
- Post-6 you lose all-ins if Diana lands her Q-R combo, but you can still win if you land E during her dash or kite with R active.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q through minions to hit Diana while clearing waves, followed by W-E if she steps forward for CS.
- Use your range advantage to constantly pressure her while maintaining minion control for Q amplification.
Wave Control
- Maintain slow pushes to keep minion waves large for Q damage amplification and passive healing opportunities.
- Control the wave state to prevent Diana from hard-shoving and roaming, forcing her to stay in lane where you have the advantage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste your E cooldown on minions or random poke as it's your only escape tool against Diana's R engage.
- Avoid fighting without minions nearby as you lose significant damage and sustain from your Q and passive.
