Graves vs Diana

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Graves's superior clear speed and dueling power to control jungle tempo and contest camps aggressively.
Prioritize river control and scuttle fights to deny Diana safe access to objectives and vision.
Leverage Graves's ranged burst and mobility to punish Diana's predictable all-in pattern and cooldowns.

Jungle Plan

Path for early invades targeting Diana's side when she shows on opposite side or after she wastes (Q) or (E).
Use lane priority from teammates to secure river control and force Diana into defensive pathing before dragon or Herald.
Counter-gank Diana's early pressure by tracking her path and timing your presence for objective fights or skirmishes.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 where Diana can use (Q) and (E) to burst and disengage.
Be cautious contesting Scuttle or objectives if Diana has lane priority and can collapse with her ultimate.
Watch for low-health clears where Graves can be forced into smite fights that favor Diana's sustain and burst.

Early game

Start with a fast full clear to reach level 3 before Diana and prepare for early invades.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky isolated fights.
Avoid fighting Diana early if she has her (Q) and (E) ready; instead, focus on healthy clears and counter-invades when she overextends.

Power spikes

Graves's level 3 power spike allows strong dueling and invade potential; use it to contest camps and force Diana off.
Diana's level 3 combo unlock is dangerous; respect her burst by avoiding fights if (Q)-(E) reset is available.
Diana's level 6 (R) enables all-in threat; hold key defensive tools and avoid isolated fights when her ultimate is up.

Win conditions

Use Graves's fast clears and dueling to maintain jungle tempo and deny Diana safe farming.
Convert tempo leads into vision and objective control around dragon and Rift Herald with lane priority.
Punish Diana's cooldowns and predictable all-in paths to secure kills and snowball the map control.
