if enemy team is stacking MR i feel like a magic pen item is necessary. Would you recommend getting bloodletters instead of deathcap when trading in dark seal/mejai’s

Hi! sorry actually i hadnt updated the runes for the new season, currently i am just running absolute focus and waterwalking as i find early objectives to be much more valuable this season, the extra adaptive force in river will help for these fights, and you get a surprising amount of damage from full hp with the absolute focus and cut down combo. but you can still go inspiration as well if you prefer it!

Is the clear changed with the new spawn timers? Also there are some mentioning of nashers tooth in the guide. Is it still your recommendation to build after dusk?

Thoughts on the buffed tenacity shard instead of hp scaling with the new rune setup? Already build so much HP and have huge shield so seems worth to be stickier a lot of the time.

Scaling hp just works so well for junglers because of the free scaling you get in the jungle. it is possible to go without it but at the same time i feel cc isnt much of a threat as if they want to use cc on you that means your other champs are able to hit. i dont think being cc on diana cuts your damage too too much as you are probably able to get your spells off still and cc during cooldowns. then again not being able to maneuver fights because of cc is a pain and sometimes the only way you lose but its very rare this happens i feel like. Tenacity can be viable if you want to run it go for it, taking half a second off in mid game fights or a full second can win you a fight for sure

Hi, thanks so much for the guide. I noticed you are not using Legend: Alacricity, but instead using Legend: Haste. Why is that? I build Nashors first if it matters RE: your answer. Thanks again.

With nashors alacrity is just over kill you will never get value out of it because you cant auto as much as the attack speed you get. Haste is also just really important for this build because you get most of your damage out of rotating your qwe and with how big the shield is on your w getting it a second faster is really important. haste is just really important in general

Hey great guide. A few items I have questions about i thought were good but aren’t included. Can any of these items be used in situations? Or are the other items you have listed just better or more important for this build?

Jak’Sho, The Protean
Sunfire Aegis
Hollow Radiance

yeah the items i have listed are the better items imo, i have gone jak sho like 1 out of 100 games but its sooooo rare that i dont even include it because its almost always better for these other items. sunfire is bad, radiance is bad.

Hey whats your opinion of unending dispair now that its been nerfed? Still good as a third item or do we prefer something else?

I've been adoring this build and its given me really good success, even under the worst circumstances. For now I still build it third unless theres a reason to switch to omen or w/e. Let me know your thoughts, and if theres anything else new to add.

hi i valued unending as probably the 3rd best item you can go, i think there are better items. i have it written in the guide a few pages down when you should go certain items! let me know if you have any questions.

Hi there, I see you like that new liandrys into rift/endless. As you said below, stick with Nashors, do we upadate the build in any way?

Do we go the new build with just Nashors being kept instead of Liandrys? I'd really love to know how to best approach it as I am low elo and strugle hard getting anything done with Diana.

Dark Seal > Nashors > Plated/Merc (or Sorcs?) > Riftmaker > Endless > ? > ?

I'm not good enough to rely on mejais.

Yes nashors is better than liandrys and i explain this in a video on my youtube "griffinhq". Everything should be explained in the guide in the chapters below. Any other questions feel free to ask

Would you mind linking which one, i wanna make sure i see the correct video. Thanks.

hi! what you think about new liandrys -> riftmaker -> unending despair build? seems like it's op, at least, i tried without unending despair, i mean, continues with DC, voidstaff with mejai's somewhere in between.

it is op because tank diana is better than ap diana, i have been pushing this for awhile but people called me stupid, and now looks like i was right. However nashors is just always better than liandry's in every way. test it and you will see for yourself. people just copy other people without actually thinking so thats why people go liandry's but nashors is better

thank you for the explanation! i have a conclusion why it's liandy's, riftmaker then enending despair. it's like kinda simple and all-purpose build, i mean, what not diana mainers might think, liandry's burn tank, u don't lose too much in clear speed, u have hp, then other 2 items have synergy with it. it's like people made a step to realise tank diana is op, but stopped in a midway to it. i spammed tank diana when abyssal mask was op, then stopped to wait for a guide update and switched to ap version just for the vibe. then this build popped up, i had some tests, and after watching ur video about it i will finally switch to nashors as i did before.i have a lot much to say and discuss, can we have a call in discord? if i need to pay i will figure out how can i convert roubles and sent to u, 'cause in russia in kinda sucks 'cause of the world situation.

Curious what your thoughts are on lethal tempo for the tank build

Conqueror is way too op, conqueror is the reason she wins a lot of duels. And at level 18 it gives 50 ap

hi! when it's gonna be update for s15?

Hi! Build is still the same for s15! Dark seal, nashors, defensive boots, 2 tank items, rift maker.
If ap same build shown as well

I switched a couple things though since certain tank items were changed!

thx!

Hi, thank you for proposing this build because I love playing abyssal mask from now on even without dark seal. I also love continuing the build with items like riftmaker/, zonhya, etc.

Would it be possible for each strong and situational item to specify the use case in your guide?

In the case of a full ad opposing team, after Nashor's tooth will you continue with unending despair?

this could really be interesting

how about more details about runes? i'm often picking cashback instead of free boots bcs it giving much more in mid/late game. the only sacrifice is possibility to get it while not in base + something around ~150g in early game (if we take 300g boots cost). what do you think?

also, i'm thinking about taking as a second runepage red page, but that ability haste on items & summoner spells seems so OP

problem with cashback is you dont actually get more gold value until you hit at least 3 or 4 legendaries and by then its so late to actually get value out of the rune, also magical footwear is just so good for jungle since mov speed is so valuable in the jungle and since you dont interact much early you can hold off till you get the boots. cosmic insight is also just really good for jungle cause smite more and flash up more which is important for gnaking and flash r combo
