Masteries

F E R O C I T Y

: As said, I optimize her passive proc. ()
: Free 3% dmg. Why not... !
: Need Dmg Dmg Dmg and Dmg !
: I prefer for her slow.
: Magic Pen. of course.
: Better for AP.

C U N N I N G

No more talent point =(

R E S O L V E

: Nearly 150hp in 5min. => 0% bonus Armor / MR until getting & (~22min)

Abilities

S K I L L - E X P L A N A T I O N

- Passive -

A great passive that helps increase your burst
Principal damage for cleaning jungle
You can save your third attack to poke enemies or use it to clear minions along with your Q

- Q -

Great for farming hard to reach minions
Can clear waves extremely fast when used with your W and passive
Great for poking the enemy
Hit with it before using ulti

- W - :

This ability is what allows Diana to win trades
Use it early game to negate harass
Bait enemy when you are low hp
Detonating all 3 spheres refreshes the shield, which means you need to get in close to maximize its potential

- E -

A great form of crowd control that works well with the rest of Diana's abilities
Lets you lock people down and stick to them
Try to wait until the enemy is at the max range of your passive so you can maximize the amount of time they take damage from you

- R -

An amazing gap closing ability with high range
You can time your Lunar Rush right before your Q hits to still proc. the refresh
You can use your Lunar Rush as an escape by using it on a minion
You can also Q jungle camps to get vision then R to them in order to escape

S K I L L - O R D E R

- Q - : Lvl 2 and 4 then maximize. The principal skill for reseting her .

- W - : Lvl 1 and 3 then 2nd maximize. The principal skill for her jungle early game.

- E - : Lvl 5 only. Jungle's routine doesn't need it before.

- R - : When it's possible.

WHY NOT MAXIMIZE - Q - Crescent Strike DIRECTLY ?

Jungle is simply hard. Her shield is the only way to clean this jungle routine !

C Y C L E - D P S

Normal : Q > R > W > Autohit > E > Autohit > R
40% CDr : Q > R > W > Autohit > E > Autohit x2 > A > R

Items

This item set is extremely perfect for having 40% CDr and optimized for her passive.

T H E O R Y - C R A F T I N G

With this guide (masteries, runes and item set) Diana reaches to 744 AP.

Rabadon's Deathcap
Must-have for carry.

Nashor's Tooth
Item really profitable. AtkSpeed for her proc. Just insane. (Nearly 120 dmg / autohit) For fast farming jungle.

Zhonya's Hourglass
Must-have for engaging and tanking !

Ionian Boots of Lucidity
To reach to 40% CDr.

Skirmisher's Sabre - Runeglaive is replaced by Lich Bane 5th or 6th set. (around 450 dmg for proc.)
(If there are 2 enemies with 150 MR replaced in 6th set, otherwise in 5th set)

Void Staff
Must-have if there are 2 tanks with +150 MR.
or
Abyssal Mask
Get it if there are +3 enemies AP.
or
Rylai's Crystal Scepter
Get it if enemy comp team : 1 ADC / 1 APC / 2 Assassins AD / 1 Supp or 1 ADC / 1 APC / 1 Assassin AD / 1 Supp / 1 Tank.

WHY NOT Sorcerer's Shoes ?

After a lot of calculations and tests, I find 15 penetration magic are not profitable with this composition. Actually with it, Diana can't replace by cause she need 40% CDr. This 15 penetration magic replaced by 30 AP + proc. is really bad.

FOR EACH MR CAP (50 ; 100 ; 150 ; 200) SEE THE VALUE FOR 15 PENETRATION MAGIC

Calcul : 100 - [10 000/ (100 + xMR)] = y% reductions dmg
Example : For 50 MR : 100 - [10 000 / (100+50) ] = 33.33% reductions dmg

15 penetration magic reduced the effective resistance by 15.
Example : For 50 MR : 50 - 15 = 35 MR

So, 100 - [10 000 / (100+35)] = 25.92%
33.33 - 25.92 = 7.41% difference for cap 50

- Cap 50 : 7.41% difference
- Cap 100 : 4% difference
- Cap 150 : 3% difference
- Cap 200 : 1% difference

Note : when enemies get a lot of MR, 15 penetration magic are so bad. You need to reach for % penetration magic. ( Void Staff / Liandry's Torment )

Each cap is equivalent to an type of champion :
- Cap 50 : ADC (Ex: Ashe Corki Graves...)
- Cap 100 : APC (Ex: Veigar LeBlanc Lissandra...)
- Cap 150 : Bruiser AP / AD (Ex: Riven Rumble Jax...)
- Cap 200 : Tank (Ex: Nautilus Dr. Mundo Leona...)

7.41% difference : for 1000 dmg Diana lost 74.1 dmg
4% difference : for 1000 dmg Diana lost 40 dmg
3% difference : for 1000 dmg Diana lost 30 dmg
1 % difference : for 1000 dmg Diana lost 10 dmg

DIFFERENCE BURST PROC BETWEEN Skirmisher's Sabre - Runeglaive AND Lich Bane

: 100% ad + 30% ap => 102.2 + 615*30% = 286.88 dmg
: 75% ad + 50% ap => 102.2*75% + 669.6*50% = 411.45 dmg

Lost 124.57 dmg per proc and 55 AP per skill.

Gain 5% movement speed.

IN CONCLUSION

If you wanna : - - - - - you got : 30% CDr / 615 AP / +15 & 35% Pen. Magic.
You gain 7%/4%/3%/1% dmg (depends of cap) but you lost which gives you +124.57 dmg per proc, 55 AP and 5% movement speed.

MAKE YOUR CHOICE ! =)

Routine Jungle

Diana is undoubtedly THE best jungler. My Routine RushMy****ing6FTW !
NO CHANGED SINCE PATCH 5.22 !

1. Ancient Krug ( Smite)
2. Crimson Raptor
3. Greater Murk Wolf ( Refillable Potion)
4. Blue Sentinel
5. Gromp ( Smite)
6. Red Brambleback
7. Ancient Krug ( Smite) ( Refillable Potion)
8. Crimson Raptor
9. Greater Murk Wolf
10. Gromp ( Smite)
11. Rift Scuttler ( Gromp side)
12. Ancient Krug
13. Crimson Raptor ( Smite)
=> Lvl 6 ! Gank or 1st back (6min30)

TIP 1 : Save your mana. For 2. and 3. used 1 x and only . If you don't do that, you can't do my routine.
TIP 2 : If your bot takes , continue without it and use smite on 7.
TIP 3 : Use your and with MAX RANGE for optimizing time.

This routine is the best one. No need to wait respawn camp. It's optimized !

Only Diana can do this !

FTW

A SECOND WAY

Pass by mid for get 1 minion XP.
You can have your lvl 6 if you got a good pull at 6:10 :)

GamePlay

E A R L Y

Farm your jungle until you are 6 for an easy gank / easy kill. My routine is optimized for it. After your 6 you can roam mid > top > bot until 10min.

M I D
