Skill Usage Edit

• Landing  Crescent Strike is important, but don't be afraid to miss. The cooldown is short and the mana cost is low.
• Use  Moonfall to disrupt channeled abilities such as  Drain,  Crowstorm ,  Meditate ,  Bullet Time ,  Absolute Zero ,  Death Lotus and  Requiem.
• Use  Moonfall and  Lunar Rush to stay on targets and activate for extra damage.
• The time it takes for  Crescent Strike to reach your target at max range is the same time  Lunar Rush takes to reach so if you cast Crescent Strike into Lunar Rush you will get the cooldown refresh immediately.
• When timed correctly Lunar Rush can be used to avoid manually aimed skill shots such as  Enchanted Crystal Arrow,  Final Spark, and  Trueshot Barrage.
• Since  Lunar Rush applies one strike towards Moonsilver Blade. It is best to combo  Crescent Strike, Lunar Rush an auto attack followed up by another  Lunar Rush for maximum burst damage. Be sure to let the autoattack happen before moving away.
• Diana is extremely agile in the jungle due to the synergy of  Crescent Strike and  Lunar Rush. Use them in conjunction to traverse the map quickly or to escape enemies.
• Consider when to cast  Lunar Rush without Moonlight and when to wait for another  Crescent Strike.
•  Pale Cascade can be used in conjunction with  Lunar Rush to deal extra damage and also refresh your shield.

Build Usage Edit

• Diana's passive,  Moonsilver Blade, activates every third strike, which means that building attack speed items on her may greatly increase your sustained AoE damage output. Nashor's Tooth is a particularly good item for this, as it gives +50% attack speed, 20% cooldown reduction, and +65 ability power.
• Lich Bane works very well on Diana due to her low cooldown on  Crescent Strike and her ability to quickly close the distance with  Lunar Rush, and will give a major boost to your burst damage provided you have built enough AP items. The extra movement speed will also allow you to stick to your target better.
• Even when building for survivability, make sure to buy items which also offer [AP] to maximize damage output. Abyssal Scepter will give a good boost to your magic resistance, whilst Zhonya's Hourglass should be built when the enemy teams deals a lot of physical damage.
• Diana can become deceptively durable with a Will of the Ancients due to the low cooldown of her damaging abilities.
• Purchasing a Catalyst the Protector early can effectively keep Diana's health and mana at acceptable levels (without buffs) while in the jungle.

Countering Edit

• Dodge  Crescent Strike or move to safety if you are affected by Moonlight.
•  Pale Cascade orbs only last a few seconds. Avoid Diana and engage her after the shield dissipates.
• Diana can play very aggressively if she uses  Lunar Rush without Moonlight, but you can punish her by slowing or stunning her when she has no way to get back into position.
• Diana is able to kill squishy characters easily, even under a turret due to her shield. Spending on an early Hexdrinker is a good option for all AD carries to build which can later be changed in a Maw of Malmortius.
