Playing as Diana
Tips to maximize your impact
- Mark, then two dashes
Hit with Crescent Strike (Q) before Lunar Rush (E): on a target marked with Moonlight, the dash has no cooldown and you can recast it right away.
- Weave autos between your spells
Weave autos between your spells: after each ability, Moonsilver Blade (passive) boosts your attack speed for 5 seconds, and your third hit cleaves nearby enemies.
- Shield before you engage
Cast Pale Cascade (W) before you engage: you gain a shield, then a second one when the last sphere explodes.
- Pull their whole team in
Cast Moonfall (R) in the middle of their team: it pulls in and slows nearby enemies, and hits harder for each champion pulled after the first.
Playing against Fizz
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Play hard without his E
Take your trades when he doesn't have Playful (E), in the early levels or right after he uses it: it's his only dodge, on a 16 to 8 second cooldown.
- Back off when his trident glows
Back off after the empowered Seastone Trident (W) auto: if it doesn't kill, his autos deal bonus magic damage for a few seconds.
- Dodge his fish
Dodge the Chum the Waters (R) fish by stepping aside: it attaches to the first champion hit and slows them, then a shark knocks them into the air.
- Move away if the fish has you
If the Chum the Waters (R) fish attaches to you, move away from your allies: the shark knocks back and damages everyone around you.
