Zed vs Diana

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zed is a high-mobility assassin aiming to burst down Diana before she can trade back effectively.
Apply lane pressure early to prevent Diana from safely landing her Q + E + W combo and gaining kill pressure.

Trading pattern

Engage with W + E for guaranteed damage, then use Q to finish trades before Diana can respond.
Punish Diana's E cooldown by stepping forward aggressively when it is down.
Use R for all-in only when confident in dodging Diana Q and avoiding Diana R follow-up.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Diana's Diana Q and Diana E are available, as her burst combo is strong.
Avoid committing if Diana's Diana R is ready, as it can pull you in and set up her all-in.
If you miss W engage, expect heavy punishment from Diana's burst potential.

Early game

Avoid extended fights before level 3 as Zed is vulnerable to Diana's early burst.
Use W + E to poke safely and punish Diana if she misses Diana Q.
Maintain lane pressure to deny Diana easy access to short trades and force her to play reactively.

Power spikes

Zed's level 3 unlocks his full W-E-Q combo for effective poke and all-in setups.
Zed's level 6 R is a major burst spike to look for kills.
Diana's level 3 Q-W-E burst combo and level 6 Diana R are spikes to respect and avoid engaging without cooldowns.

Win conditions

Use your mobility and W-E-Q combo to poke Diana down and force her to miss key abilities.
Capitalize on Diana's missed Diana Q or E cooldowns to trade aggressively or all-in.
Reach level 6 and item spikes to burst Diana before she can fully commit to trades or all-ins.

Tip: For Zed vs Diana, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
