Diana Jungle guide

Diana jungle is a duelist bruiser built around Crescent Strike (Q) marking a target with Moonlight, then Lunar Rush (E) dashing to that target for free. Pale Cascade (W) shields her through the follow-up, and Moonfall (R) closes out grouped fights.

The build

Rune page: Conqueror, Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Coup de Grace (Precision), with Magical Footwear and Cosmic Insight (Inspiration). Summoners: Flash and Smite. Skill order opens Crescent Strike (Q), Pale Cascade (W), Lunar Rush (E), then maxes Crescent Strike (Q) first with Pale Cascade (W) second. Starter: Scorchclaw Pup and a Health Potion, into Sorcerer's Shoes. Core build: Dusk and Dawn, Riftmaker, and Zhonya's Hourglass, with Hextech Rocketbelt, Shadowflame, and Rabadon's Deathcap as later options.

Ability mechanics

Crescent Strike (Q) fires a bolt of lunar energy in an arc and afflicts whatever it hits with Moonlight, revealing non-stealthed targets for 3 seconds. Lunar Rush (E) dashes to an enemy and has no cooldown against a Moonlight-afflicted target, though it strips the debuff from every other enemy regardless of which one she dashes to. Moonfall (R) pulls in nearby enemies and slows them, then crashes down for area damage that increases for each champion caught.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Viego, Kayn, Nocturne, Sylas, Jarvan IV. Best matchups: Naafiri, Graves, Lee Sin.
