Tristana vs Diana

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use early level 2 all-ins with support follow-up to punish Diana's predictable engage pattern.
Convert wave crashes into turret plate damage by stacking (E) after winning trades or forcing recalls.
Avoid passive wave pushes that expose you to (Q)+(E) burst and reset combo.

Trading pattern

Stack (E) fully in committed trades and only jump (W) with support CC ready to lock Diana down.
Punish Diana immediately if she misses (Q) or uses (E) without a reset opportunity.
Use your range advantage to poke before committing; avoid trades when (Q) and (E) are available.

Danger windows

Respect Diana's level 3 burst combo when (Q), (W), and (E) are all available for trades.
Avoid extended trades when (E) is off cooldown, as she can dash and reset damage.
Beware of Diana's ultimate (R) after level 6, which can force unfavorable all-ins or disengages.

Early game

Push for level 2 with support to threaten jump (W) all-ins before Diana unlocks her full combo.
Hold wave small or crash it to avoid jumping into large minion waves where Diana can punish.
Track (E) cooldown to exploit her reduced pressure when it is down.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your jump (W) and burst (E), enabling strong all-ins with support setup.
First completed marksman item amplifies your burst and turret pressure, turning trades into plates.
Post-level 6, use (R) to finish combos or disrupt Diana's engage attempts.

Win conditions

Force early all-ins around level 2-3 with support to snowball lane priority and turret plates.
Use wave crashes to pressure turret plates with stacked (E) and convert kills into resets.
Track (R) cooldown to time aggressive plays or safe resets, controlling mid-game tempo.
