Jungle Plan

Use early clears to pressure Diana’s jungle and look for level 3 invades with your full combo.
Prioritize river and Scuttle control to deny Diana safe access to dragon and Rift Herald.
Track Diana’s pathing and be ready to counter-gank early ganks before her is available.

Danger windows

Avoid fights when Diana’s + combo is up, as her burst and mobility can punish you hard.
Be cautious contesting Scuttle or river objectives without lane priority, increasing risk of counter-invades.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights before level 3 and item spikes are risky; avoid these scenarios.

Early game

Contest first Scuttle Crab only if nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Avoid extended fights before level 3 when your combo is unavailable and Diana can punish mistakes.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your ++ combo, enabling reliable burst trades and all-in setups; use this window to invade or force fights.
Level 6 grants your ultimate, increasing pick and escape potential; track Diana’s to time engages safely.
Completing your first lethality item boosts damage significantly; pressure lanes and objectives confidently after.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle pressure and successful invades into dragon and Rift Herald control to snowball leads.
Use burst and mobility to pick off isolated targets with and roam side lanes to extend map pressure.
Deny Diana free farm by invading post-level 3 and item spikes, forcing her into teamfights where you excel.
