Diana vs Cassiopeia

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Diana is a medium pressure AP diver who wants to use Q + E + W burst combos to threaten Cassiopeia early.
Focus on denying Cassiopeia calm scaling by forcing short trades and punishing her cooldowns to prevent extended fights.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing Q and immediately using E for cooldown reset and burst.
Punish Cassiopeia when her W is down, as she can't ground your dash or slow your engage.
Avoid extended trades where Cassiopeia can stack E damage; focus on quick burst trades instead.

Danger windows

Respect Cassiopeia's R stun if you face her during all-ins; avoid staring directly at her when committing.
Be cautious when your Q is on cooldown or missed, as Cassiopeia can punish your lack of engage.
Avoid dashing into Cassiopeia's W zone when it is active to prevent being grounded and slowed.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to burst Cassiopeia with Q-W-E combo and shield from W.
Avoid committing if Q misses or E is on cooldown to prevent being punished by Cassiopeia's sustained damage.
Pressure the wave to limit Cassiopeia's ability to land poison and extend trades.

Power spikes

Diana's major spikes: level 3 (Q-W-E burst with shield) and level 6 (R for all-in).
Cassiopeia's major spikes: level 6 (Cassiopeia R) and first AP/mana item, respect these when engaging.

Win conditions

Win by landing Q + E + W burst combos especially when Electrocute is up to chunk Cassiopeia quickly.
Use R to initiate or turn fights once level 6 is reached, punishing Cassiopeia's lower mobility.
Deny Cassiopeia extended trades by forcing short burst fights and punishing her cooldowns to limit her sustained damage.

Tip: For Diana vs Cassiopeia, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
