Diana vs Taliyah

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Diana's fast AoE clear to hit level 6 and item spikes before forcing fights with (R).
Prioritize protecting your farming tempo and avoid early river fights unless lanes have priority.
This is a mid-paced scaling skirmish matchup where Diana must leverage burst and objective control to snowball.

Jungle Plan

Start with full clear and only contest Scuttle when lane priority allows safe river fights.
Look to counter-invade or collapse on Taliyah when she uses (W) and (E) away from choke points.
Use level 6 (R) to force objective fights around Dragon or Rift Herald when multiple targets can be hit.

Danger windows

Avoid fighting when (Q) is on cooldown or missed, as Diana loses burst pressure and can be punished.
Respect (E) zone and (W) displacement when near river chokes or narrow jungle paths.
Be cautious contesting objectives if (R) is up and enemy lanes lack priority to back you up.

Early game

Full clear toward the safest first reset to reach level 3 with (Q)-(W)-(E) burst combo ready.
Avoid early Scuttle fights unless nearby lanes can move first to support river control.
Watch for Taliyah pathing toward lanes with setup for (W) and be ready to counter-gank or avoid invades.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks (Q)-(W)-(E) burst combo with dash reset and shield; use this to threaten early skirmishes.
Level 6 (R) unlocks strong all-in and teamfight engage; track this to time picks and objective setups.
First completed AP item boosts burst damage and objective control; increase pressure and punish Taliyah's cooldowns then.

Win conditions

Convert Diana's fast clear and level 6 power spike into early objective control and dragon setups.
Use (R) to initiate multi-target fights and force Taliyah out of contested areas.
Punish Taliyah's cooldowns on (W) and (E) by invading or counter-ganking to deny her scaling and map pressure.
