Introduction
Hello and welcome my first guide of
Diana
I have played with Diana from the first day it came playable and at first game I was in love with this champion. I was waiting that someone would do an awesome guide for my new champ. But while I was playing and tryin different builds I founded my own perferct build and then I decided to share it and make my own guide for Diana. And here we are now.
In this guide I'm about to tell you basics from Diana. What masteries and runes you should take for Diana and what items to buy. Here is also little bit information about jungling with Diana. I've tried to explain everything clear and simple so even starters could get it.
I Hope you enjoy reading my guide and please vote up if you liked it. Comments are welcome too, of course. Please don't downvote if you just don't like my build.

Jungling masteries:
Jungling masteries are pretty much same than in normal use exept u dont have




TIPS:
- If you want you cant balance your defensive tree by putting 2/3 on both
Resistance and
Hardiness .
- If you want to use summoner spell
Barrier you should put 1 point on
Summoner's Resolve to make your barrier more effience. BUT then you need to sacrifice 1 point from
Resistance or
Hardiness to get point on
Veteran's Scars .

Runes

GLYPH:



Cant choose between these glyphs


So why I picked up




So at start you can't choose items with huge amount of ap but later you have better items and +1 or +2 ability power isn't very big deal anymore. I recommend to use


QUINTESSENCES:



Main Summoner Spells:

Diana doesn't have any escape ability so I really recommend that you pick


If you have


Viable Summoner Spells:

Diana doesn't have any stun only


This also reduces targets attack speed by 50% and damage dealt by 30% for 2.5 seconds. Not bad when soloing.

If you're new Diana... Picking




Not a bad choice. This gives you 95 + 20 per level absorb for 2 seconds. This can save your life. Still remember that



This summoner spell increases your movement speed by 27% for 10 seconds, so it's good when you need to get on the other side of the map or just escape from fight. You're still not uncatchable.

When you're playing mid lane.


If Your jungling and you have one point on

My Main Build:
This isn't the cheapest build and it may require you to get some feed. So I don't recommend these for starters. And remember that

Here's the reasons why i picked up my main build's items:







Viable Items:








Defensive Items:





Boots:



Jungling starting items:
If you're a jungler it doesn't mean your build needs to be different than usually. Only the starting items are different.
I recommend to take




I have tried to start with only taking








Playing as Diana
When you're laning with Diana you should keep yourself at safe area. Diana is very squishy and you don't want to give enemies first blood. Stay behind your minions and try to farm hard for better items. Remember to harras enemies with



Playing safe until you reach level 6 is your goal. After you get





Main Combo

Teamfights
When arriving in teamfights. Try to land your





Keep

Teamfight combo

TIPS:
- When escaping learn how to use
Flash getting to another side of the walls or even chancing your way that confuses enemies. But if
Flash is on cooldown you still have
Lunar Rush to charge nearby enemy minions.
Moonfall isn't escaping ability. It only pulls enemies to you and gives them chance to hit you. Yes it slows them but not enough.
- Ask for jungler to help you get blue buff
Crest of the Ancient Golem at start or if there is no jungler in your team ask your lane mate to help you.
- If enemy is moving away land your
Crescent Strike right on your targets front don't ever land it on your target because it will hit the ground only. How simple it feels when i say it but trust me... This takes a while when practising.
- Diana is very mana hungry and using
Crescent Strike on minions that you could reach with melee attack is totally wasting your mana and will cause you to go for base restore your mana.
ESCAPING WITH DIANA


Jungling with Diana

Jungling Order
1.Ask your teamates to help you with 1.


2.Then you can take 2.

3.Now you should go check 3. For potential ganks.
4.After checking or without checking (If there wasn't good chances to gank) you can take 4.

5.Fifth place you need to go is 5.

6.Then you kill


Just keep going this route in spawning order and remember to help your teammates with blue and red buff if they need them or you already have those.

TIPS:
- When jungling ALWAYS remember to follow your map! It's easy to be blind and just focus jungling, but really try to be there where teammates need you. You have the keys of success.
Pale Cascade MUST BE your first skill if you're jungler!
- If your about to gank a lot picking
Moonfall earlier will make it easier :)
Why use flat ap runes insted of scaling ones?
~Ability power is really needed in early game and scaling ones gives you only little ap per level and flat ones gives you more effience at start. Because in later game your items are more valuable than what runes have you chosen flat ap or scaling ap runes.
Why no extra attack speed for
Diana from runes and items?
~Attack speed only makes your autoattack and passive hit more often and yes it makes last-hitting easier but with just pure ability power your abilities can earn you kill and your abilities are not realint on attack speed.
Why to build
Rabadon's Deathcap so early?
~Well this item might need you to be little bit fed but after getting this item... it lets you PWN!
But i don't recommend starters to try to build it too early. It's expensive and getting kills need skills... but it's still important item to get in early or middle game. And it always depends your playstyle/luck when you're able to build it.
