Diana vs Ivern

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Diana's fast AoE clear to secure level 6 and item spikes before contesting objectives against Ivern's slower clear.
Prioritize river control and scuttle vision to prevent Ivern's unusual invade paths and buff-sharing tactics.
Focus on snowballing through objective fights where (R) can impact multiple targets, denying Ivern's utility scaling.

Jungle Plan

Use efficient pathing to full clear and reach level 6 before forcing objective fights where (R) can disrupt Ivern's team.
Fight for river control and Scuttle Crab when lane priority allows, denying Ivern's buff-sharing and camp access.
Track Ivern's path to counter-gank his early pressure and punish his low dueling strength by invading when lanes have priority.

Danger windows

Respect Ivern's (Q) root and (R) Daisy knockup during isolated river fights and objective setups.
Avoid low-health clears where Ivern can force smite fights or counter-invades with lane support.
Be cautious contesting Scuttle or invading when your lanes lack priority, as Ivern can use utility and crowd control to punish overextensions.

Early game

Start with a full clear toward a safe reset to hit level 6 quickly before contesting river or scuttle.
Avoid early direct fights unless nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks against Ivern's medium invade resistance.
Contest first Scuttle only when your lanes can move first and provide setup to prevent Ivern from safely marking camps.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks (Q)+(W)+(E) burst combo; use it to punish Ivern before he can react or shield allies.
Level 6 (R) is a major spike; use it to force objective fights or picks where Ivern's utility is less effective.
First completed AP skirmish item increases Diana's burst and objective control; pressure camps and objectives aggressively after this.

Win conditions

Convert fast clears and level 6 power spike into objective control by forcing fights with (R) that hit multiple targets.
Use superior mobility and burst to counter-jungle Ivern when lanes have priority, denying his camps and slowing his scaling.
Apply gank pressure on lanes with setup to snowball leads and prevent Ivern from safely supporting teammates with shields and Daisy.
