Diana vs Poppy

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Diana's fast AoE clear to reach level 6 and item spikes before contesting river or objectives aggressively.
Avoid early river skirmishes unless nearby lanes have priority to back up counter-ganks or invades.
Focus on mid-game teamfight impact and objective control using (R) to force fights around dragon and Herald.

Jungle Plan

Use fast clear speed to path camps toward objective timers after level 6 and prepare for dragon or Herald fights.
Track Poppy's first clear and gank pressure to time counter-ganks or invade when (W) and (E) are down.
Contest Scuttle and river control only when lane priority supports; otherwise, focus on scaling and safe farming tempo.

Danger windows

Respect Poppy's early invade potential with (W) dash stop and (E) wall stun near terrain; avoid overextending without vision.
Avoid isolated river fights where Poppy can use terrain for (E) stuns and (R) knockaways to reset fights.
Be cautious contesting objectives when (R) is available to deny smite or disengage fights.

Early game

Prioritize a full clear toward the safest first reset to hit level 6 quickly and avoid early Poppy invades.
Only contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority and (W) is on cooldown to reduce risk.
Avoid early isolated duels before level 6 as Poppy's anti-dash tools and wall stuns punish aggressive pathing.

Power spikes

At level 3, use (Q)+(W)+(E) burst combo to trade or force fights when cooldowns and spacing favor you.
At level 6, use (R) to engage or disengage in objective fights, maximizing teamfight impact.
After first AP skirmish item, increase pressure on objectives and trades, punishing Poppy before she completes her tank items.

Win conditions

Convert fast clears and level 6 power spike into objective control around dragon and Rift Herald.
Use (R) in teamfights to catch multiple targets and create picks or disengages.
Exploit Poppy's lower mobility by counter-jungling and forcing fights when her (W) and (E) are on cooldown.
