Playing as Diana

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Shield before you engage

    Cast Pale Cascade (W) before you engage: you gain a shield, then a second one when the last sphere explodes.

  4. 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 Lillia

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Hug her or back off from her Q

    Against Blooming Blows (Q), stick to her or back out of range: only the outer edge of the zone adds true damage.

  2. Leave the center of her W

    Get out of the center of Watch Out! Eep! (W): the zone deals much more damage there than at the edge.

  3. Dodge her spells, seed included

    Dodge her spells, even Swirlseed (E), which rolls to the first enemy: each one marks you for Lilting Lullaby (R), which puts every marked enemy to sleep.

  4. Save your CC for her

    If you have CC, use it on her: with no dash, she relies on the move speed Blooming Blows (Q) gives her for each spell that hits.
