Kayn vs Diana

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize safe full clears to collect orbs and progress form without risking early fights against Diana's medium early pressure.
Use Kayn's superior clear speed and wall mobility to avoid Diana's counter-invades and maintain tempo.
Focus on scaling through form transformation and leverage terrain for ganks and skirmishes post-form.

Jungle Plan

Path for form progress by choosing camps that grant needed orbs while avoiding direct early duels with Diana.
Contest river control and Scuttle only when allied lanes can provide priority and counter-gank support.
Use Kayn's mobility and wall traversal to cross-map safely for ganks and counter-jungling after form transformation.

Danger windows

Be cautious during Diana's early level 3 when her burst combo is unlocked and she can punish overextensions.
Avoid isolated river fights before you have form, as Diana's mobility and burst can overwhelm early duels.
Respect forced smite fights around early dragons or Herald if Diana's lanes have priority or her ultimate is available.

Early game

Start with a full clear to maximize camp tempo and avoid early risky fights before form.
Avoid contesting first Scuttle unless nearby lanes have priority to support a safe fight.
Use wall paths to evade Diana's predictable pathing and delay her pressure until form is achieved.

Power spikes

Kayn's major spike is form transformation, enabling stronger mid-game skirmishes and terrain ganks; use this to force fights.
Respect Diana's level 3 burst combo ((Q)+(W)+(E)) which enables her all-in potential; avoid trades when she has cooldowns ready.
Track Diana's level 6 (R) availability as it shifts her threat level; use this window to force fights or disengage accordingly.

Win conditions

Maintain jungle tempo by full clearing efficiently to reach form and leverage your mobility for unexpected ganks.
Use terrain-based gank angles and wall paths after form to pressure lanes and deny Diana's scaling.
Control river vision and objectives post-form to force fights on your terms, denying Diana safe access to dragons and Herald.
