Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Diana's superior burst and Q poke range, but can start winning all-ins post-6 when you steal her R for massive damage potential.
- Your W heal becomes crucial for sustaining through her burst combos once you have ultimate access.
How to Trade
- Look for E2-W-Q combos when Diana wastes her Q or E, as she lacks escape tools once committed.
- Avoid extended trades without your W available, as her passive auto attacks will out-damage your basic attacks significantly.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to prevent Diana from freely poking with Q, then look to freeze near your tower post-6 where you can all-in with stolen R.
- Diana's waveclear forces her to use abilities on minions, creating windows for aggressive plays.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight Diana when she has Q mark on you without your W available, as her E-W-R combo will chunk you heavily.
- Don't waste your E1 for waveclear when Diana is in range to punish, as you lose your primary engage and escape tool.
