Diana combos

Scorn of the Moon

3 Diana combos explained key by key: in which order to cast the abilities, when to use them and what each step does. The main combo is Q › E › W › AA. Further down: every ability's cooldown, cost and range, and the skill max order measured over ranked games.

Diana combos

The basic combo

Q › E › W › AA AA

When: An enemy is within Crescent range.

Crescent Strike applies Moonlight, Lunar Rush dashes you onto the affected target with no delay, Pale Cascade gives damage and a shield, your attacks benefit from the attack speed.

The team engage

R › W › Q › E

When: Several enemies are grouped.

Moonfall reveals and pulls in nearby enemies then slows them; if you pull in a champion, the moonlight falls on you with damage increased per secondary target.

The chase

E › Q › E

When: You are chasing marked enemies.

Lunar Rush has no cooldown on an enemy affected by Moonlight; every other enemy loses the effect, even if not targeted.

Common mistakes

• Casting Lunar Rush on a target without Moonlight.
• Using the ultimate with no champion to pull in.
• Forgetting that Lunar Rush removes Moonlight from other enemies.

Official ability descriptions

Every third strike cleaves nearby enemies for an additional magic damage. After casting a spell, Diana gains Attack Speed for 5 seconds.

Afflicts enemies struck with Moonlight, revealing them if they are not stealthed for 3 seconds.

WPale Cascade

Diana creates three orbiting spheres that detonate on contact with enemies to deal damage in an area. She also gains a temporary shield that absorbs damage. If her third sphere detonates, the shield gains additional strength.

ELunar Rush

Lunar Rush has no cooldown when used to dash to an enemy afflicted with Moonlight. All other enemies will have the Moonlight debuff removed regardless of whether they were the target of Lunar Rush.

If Diana pulls in one or more enemy champions, the moonlight crashes down onto her after a short delay, dealing magic damage in an area around her, increased for each target beyond the first pulled.

Riot's official tips for playing Diana

• Landing Crescent Strike is critically important, but don't be afraid to miss. The cooldown is short and the mana cost is low.
• Consider when to cast Lunar Rush without Moonlight and when to wait for another Crescent Strike.
• Use Moonfall and Lunar Rush to stay on targets and activate Moonsilver Blade for extra damage.

How to play around Diana's combos

• Dodge Crescent Strike, or move to safety if you are affected by Moonlight.
• Pale Cascade orbs only last a few seconds. Avoid Diana and engage her after the shield dissipates.
• Diana can play very aggressively if she uses Lunar Rush without Moonlight, but you can punish her by slowing or stunning her when she has no way to get back into position.
