Vex vs Diana

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Vex is an anti-dash burst mage who thrives on using her passive fear to control Diana's aggressive engages.
Maintain lane pressure to deny Diana safe short trades and prevent her from freely using her Q + E + W burst combo.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing your passive fear to safely proc electrocute and burst Diana down.
Respect Diana's Diana Q and Diana E cooldowns; she loses pressure when these are down.
Avoid extended trades if your fear is baited or on cooldown, as you become vulnerable without your R reset.

Danger windows

Diana is dangerous when Diana Q and Diana E are available for her burst combo and mobility.
Be cautious when your fear is baited or down, as Diana can all-in you during this window.
Without your R reset, you are immobile and vulnerable to Diana's predictable all-in paths.

Early game

Use your passive fear proactively to interrupt Diana's Q + E + W trades before she can fully commit.
Punish Diana whenever she misses Diana Q or uses Diana E without a reset to force her on the back foot.
Keep wave control to avoid giving Diana easy all-in windows with her mobility and burst.

Power spikes

Level 6 R is your major spike, enabling engage and reset potential against Diana's mobility.
Your first completed AP burst item significantly increases your kill threat in trades.
Respect Diana's level 3 power spike when she unlocks her full Q-W-E burst combo and level 6 R all-in threat.

Win conditions

Use your passive fear to control Diana's dashes and win trades before she can engage fully.
Punish Diana's missed Diana Q and cooldowns to deny her lane pressure and scaling.
Leverage your level 6 R to reset fights and snowball lane dominance by bursting Diana quickly.
