Introduction and Updates

I have been playing Diana in PBE and I tested builds with people I met there.
After making the mistake of getting alot of AD in her build I found out she does best with AP.
This build is tested alot to make sure it works out for the best.

I hope you guys will learn from and like the guide I made.

Updates

30 July 2012

Info about new item build.
After thinking it trough a little bit more I thought it would be better to get so that you can survive longer with the extra lifesteal you get from it.
This also makes sure your attack speed get optimally used.
I also removed because I never found myself being able to use it alot and added because I think it helps you survive.

Summoner Spells

I take and because I believe those are the best for her.
You can escape nasty situations with and kill of those low hp champs with

Other viable choices are:

If you want to trick your enemies.

If you can't keep up with your low hp enemies.

If you think you die too fast.

Runes and Masteries

Runes

because it stacks nicely with her passive.
The AS will help you proc your dianapassive and may get you to win a 1v1 fight.
because you will be spamming your dianaqskill to poke ur enemy.
Without these runes you won't be able to spam as much.
because all her skills scale of AP.
This will give you just a bit of an advantage over those that don't have those
this will give you just a bit more early game damage which is great for harrasing.

Masteries

I go 19/0/11 for the extra mana regen and speed.
I take 4 points in for the extra AS and 1 point in for extra AD damage.
The rest of the masteries are pretty much self explaining.
I take AP masteries because I believe shes better as an AP AS champion.

Abilities

Abilities Explained

dianaq

This is your harras skillshot.
The enemies hit will be afflicted with Moonlight and will reset the cooldown of ur ultimate when used on them.
Try to spam this on your enemy to get them low enough to use your skill combo.

The orbs will disappear once they are hit by an enemy <Minions, Monsters and Chamions>.

dianar

's jump skill, this is one of the best things about her.
Its cooldown gets reduced instantly when it is used on an enemy that is affected by Moonlight.

Abillities Combo

When you have enough mana and your enemy is low enough use your Q > R > E > W and keep chasing your enemy with auto attacks.
Once you think you can finish your enemy use your ulti again regardless of the enemy being affected by Moonlight.

1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18

I level my dianaq to level 3 first then I level my dianaw to level 3 before levelling my dianaq to level 5.
I do this because I believe that you will survive teamfights more often with the extra levels in your shield.

When to change the level sequence?
If you find yourself dieng fast even when playing defensive consider levelling your dianaw before levelling your dianaq.
This will make sure you will be able to do damage trades.

Items

Core Items

The core items in this build are:
for its slowing active and the spellvamp and lifesteal.
for the AS, AP, and CDR you get from this item.
rabandons deathcap For the insane boost in AP.

Item sequence

The idea behind this path of buying items is too get an early AP damage advantage while also staying alive.
The makes sure you get some extra hp early game so you can survive some hits.
The early 's and 's make sure your AP damage is high in early game, it also builds into the core items you need late game.
This makes sure you can get early AP damage while not wasting items nor money.
