Diana vs Kassadin

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Diana is a medium early agency AP diver who wants to pressure Kassadin early to deny his scaling.
Use lane pressure to force Kassadin into a passive lane and punish his weak early wave control.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing Q and immediately resetting E on the mark for high burst damage.
Punish Kassadin's low mana or aggressive R usage by all-inning when his escape is on cooldown.
Avoid extended trades without E available, as Diana loses pressure and Kassadin can retaliate.

Danger windows

Kassadin is dangerous post-6 with R and mana for repeated burst; avoid committing without E reset.
Missing Q or using E without reset leaves Diana vulnerable to Kassadin's counterattacks.
Kassadin's Q shield can absorb magic poke; respect it when trading to avoid wasted damage.

Early game

Exploit Kassadin's low early agency by applying pressure with Q + E + W burst trades after level 3.
Avoid missing Q to prevent Kassadin punishing you before level 6.
Use W shield to mitigate Kassadin's magic poke and maintain short trades.

Power spikes

Respect Kassadin's level 6 R for mobility and burst; avoid all-ins when he has full mana and Kassadin R stacks.
Diana's level 3 unlock of Q-W-E burst combo with dash reset and shield is key to dominating early trades.
Diana's level 6 R enables strong all-in threat and teamfight presence.

Win conditions

Win by landing Q + E + W combo when electrocute is up to burst Kassadin before level 6.
Deny Kassadin safe farming and scaling by pressuring early and forcing him to play defensively.
Use R after level 6 to set up kills or force Kassadin out of lane control.

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