Rek'Sai vs Diana

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Rek'Sai must leverage her superior early game pressure and fast clear speed to invade and disrupt Diana's farming tempo.
Prioritize early tunnel placement for repeated ganks and objective control to snowball before Diana's mid-game spike.

Jungle Plan

Use fast clears and tunnels to control river vision and secure early Scuttle, denying Diana easy access to objectives.
Invade Diana's jungle early when her (Q) is on cooldown or after she commits to a full clear path.
Counter-gank lanes where Diana shows up early, using Rek'Sai's knockup and mobility to turn fights and secure objectives like dragon or Rift Herald.

Danger windows

Beware of Diana's level 3 burst combo with (Q)+(E) and shield (W), especially if she has lane priority.
Avoid isolated river fights or forced smite contests after Diana hits level 6 with (R) available.
Be cautious during low-health clears or after using (W) knockup when Rek'Sai's escape options are limited.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into an early invade or counter-gank to capitalize on Rek'Sai's high early pressure.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky isolated fights.
Avoid extended river fights before level 6 where (Q) and (E) burst and mobility can punish overcommitment.

Power spikes

Exploit Rek'Sai's level 3 power spike by invading or ganking before Diana unlocks her (Q)+(W)+(E) burst combo.
Respect Diana's level 3 burst combo and level 6 (R) ultimate by avoiding isolated skirmishes without lane priority or vision.
Pressure Diana before she completes her first AP item, as her damage and objective control improve significantly afterward.

Win conditions

Use Rek'Sai's superior early gank threat and tunnel mobility to snowball lanes and deny Diana safe farming.
Secure early dragons and Rift Herald by controlling river vision and contesting objectives aggressively before Diana scales.
Track Diana's pathing to counter-invade and force her into unfavorable fights, leveraging Rek'Sai's dueling and objective control advantages.
