Introduction

That's my support guide for . You will find here ways to build this champion as Fighter/Assassin on Top lane or Assassin/Fighter ap on mid lane.

Pros / Cons

Pros:

High defense in both builds
High magic damage in both builds
Good CC on Top build

Cons:

Slow early game
Hard to stay fine until level 6
High mana usage

Summoner Spells

Flash : obviously flash on would help in anything, even strategically. Nice escape if you combine it with Diana's ultimate

Ignite : use it if someone already picked in some lane (except if it was the support).

Teleport : standard top laner summoner spell, the best one in my opinion to any tanky top laner, it allows you to support in any lane when you use it wisely, as after build start to have more movement speed, it will allow even better to you to help other lanes as well.

Runes (MID Lane)

Runes

Precision

Fleet Footwork

Dark Harvest

Phase Rush

Mark : better put Greater Mark of Magic Penetration or Hybrid Penetration, better use the Hybrid one, as is basically focused on basic attack's third hit after the combos.

Seals : greater seals of armor and mana regen will help the hell out of since on it early game, you will have a lot of mana usage and less defensive stuff instead, as armor and magic resist. In this case buy to help your mana regen.

Glyphs :greater glyphs of magic resist will defend you against Ap Mids you get, assassin's or not, or ranged, whatever. It will better you have early game Magic Resist instead Scaling magic resist.

Quintessences : Ability power ones, no problem.

Runes (TOP Lane)

Runes

Precision

Fleet Footwork

Phase Rush

Mark : better put Greater Mark of Magic Penetration or Hybrid Penetration, better use the Hybrid one, as is basically focused on basic attack's third hit after the combos.

Seals : greater seals of armor so you will later only need to get only an armor item on the start, like to after some ability power items.

Glyphs :greater glyphs of scaling magic resist if you don't get an fighter/assassin AP on top, what is kinda rare to find, you normally see AD Nidalee's on top lane, for example. So the scaling would be hell better for , except if you got a Rumble on top, or Gragas [...]

Quintessences : Ability power ones.

Masteries (MID Lane)

AP carry masteries on it, as 21/9 for example.

Masteries (TOP Lane)

Starting Items

Doran's Ring : normal offensive starting option, you can get this one for more health, AP and mana regen.

Health Potion : normally starts with x2 Health Potions in any of the situations, except if you start with , you will get x5 Health Potions and with with x4 Health Potions.

Crystalline Flask : starts if you see that you will use too much mana, as against an poking champion as and such.

Core Items

Haunting Guise : Your core item for magic penetration, build it first after the .

Sorcerer's Shoes : Another item of magic penetration, your next ability power items will give a lot more damage now as you have +30 of magic pen. on these items.

Sheen : this item you can built in three different items, both three: , and works on Diana, either TOP or MID.

Glacial Shroud (TOP) : build it on start against fighter/assassin ADs on TOP Lane.

Final Assassin/Fighter Build

Sorcerer's Shoes : your magic penetration item, buy it first after your initial items.

Liandry's Torment : another magic pen item, work really good as offensive item, you don't need to rush it after do , build it after . Gives you health either.

Team Work

Nice Crowd control using the and the . Try to hit the most enemies you can with your so you can use the with no cooldown reduction cost.

Use your without using before in killing cases, escapes or initiations.
