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 Qiyana

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Check her weapon's element

    Before a trade, check her weapon's element: with Ice, Elemental Wrath (Q) roots you, and with Wild, the brush element, its trail makes her invisible.

  2. Back off when she changes element

    Back off when she casts Terrashape (W): the spell resets Elemental Wrath (Q), so she can hit you twice in a row.

  3. Stay away from walls and the river

    Don't fight right next to a wall, the river or brush: Supreme Display of Talent (R) explodes along them and stuns enemies there.
