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 Ziggs
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Walk around his mines
Walk around Hexplosive Minefield (E): each mine explodes on contact and slows you, which helps him land his other spells.
- Engage after his Satchel Charge
If you can engage, go in right after Satchel Charge (W): it's his only way to get away, on a 20 to 12 second cooldown.
- Get out of the center of his bomb
If Mega Inferno Bomb (R) lands on you, at least get out of the center: the center of the blast deals more damage than the edge.
