Q (Crescent Strike) marks targets — your E (Lunar Rush) resets if you dash to a marked target. Q → E → E is the basic gap-close.
Your R (Moonfall) pulls nearby enemies and deals increasing damage based on the number of targets — wait until you're in the middle of the team to R.
W (Pale Cascade) gives a shield and damage orbs — activate it before engaging to absorb damage during the dash.
The classic combo: Q → E (reset) → W → R when you're in the middle of enemies → Zhonya's if needed.

Playing against Diana
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Diana needs to land Q for the E reset — if she misses Q, she has to engage without a reset and loses a lot.
Spread out when Diana is in the fight — her R deals more damage with more nearby targets.
She's relatively weak in early game (pre-6) — harass her before she has her Q → E → R combo.
Buy a Zhonya's or Banshee's to survive her initial burst.
