Diana Promo 02

Not all creatures of the night are the sort that lurk in the shadows. A select few leap headlong into the fray, leaving enemies begging for sunshine. Shunned by the people of the Locket of the Iron Solari item sun, DianaSquare Diana turned in isolation to the cold power of the Moonsilver Blade moon's glow. She Lunar Rush hurls herself into the heat of the fight, wielding her crescent Moonfall blade and unleashing lunar energy with merciless ferocity. If you're awed by the darkness of the night, but never one to hide in the shadows, you're sure to be drawn to this knight of the moon and her relentless pursuit of vengeance.

Diana, Scorn of the Moon, Revealed

By NeeksNaman [3]

The tide of battle is turning, summoners. With ceaseless aggression, powered and protected by the lunar light, DianaSquare Diana, Scorn of the Moon, controls and chases her enemies through the battlefield, leaving them no sunlight for solace.

Diana's high area of effect damage and defensive abilities make her an ideal jungler. Pale Cascade Pale Cascade creates three orbiting spheres that detonate and deal damage to any enemy that comes close, while protecting her with a shield that absorbs any incoming damage. If all three orbs are detonated, the shield effect is refreshed, allowing her to absorb even more punishment. This destructive shield, combined with a cleaving attack from her passive, Moonsilver Blade Moonsilver Blade, helps her deal out significant damage to multiple targets as she quickly tears through jungle camps.

Drawing power from the moon, Diana's kit revolves around her use of Crescent Strike Moonlight to prep her enemies for an incoming attack. The breakneck pace of Diana's gameplay and her relentless chasing potential are driven by the interplay between Crescent Strike Crescent Strike and her ultimate ability, Lunar Rush Lunar Rush. A unique curved skillshot, Crescent Strike Crescent Strike unleashes lunar energy in an arc, damaging any enemies in its path and simultaneously afflicting them with Crescent Strike Moonlight. Casting Lunar Rush Lunar Rush to teleport to an enemy afflicted by Crescent Strike Moonlight will reset the ability cooldown while consuming all active Crescent Strike Moonlight debuffs. Judicious use of Crescent Strike Moonlight combined with accurate casts of Crescent Strike Crescent Strike gives Diana incredible mobility and sustained damage throughout a long fight. While using Lunar Rush Lunar Rush only in combination with Crescent Strike Moonlight will give Diana the highest damage output over time, you may make a judgment call and accept the longer cooldown to either directly rush a vulnerable target or double tap a Crescent Strike Moonlight afflicted enemy for heavy burst damage.

Diana's kit really comes together in a team fight. After initiating with Crescent Strike Crescent Strike and Lunar Rush Lunar Rush, she can follow up with Moonfall Moonfall, drawing in and slowing all nearby enemies, holding them in range for Moonsilver Blade Moonsilver Blade and Pale Cascade Pale Cascade until Crescent Strike Crescent Strike is ready again. The added durability of her shield helps her survive heavy damage, while the mobility of a Crescent Strike Moonlight-enhanced Lunar Rush ultimate helps her pursue and assassinate high-value targets. With the complex interplay of her abilities, Diana's got the potential to control the jungle while executing quick ganks and threatening enemies in team fights.

Lyrics by Devon 'Runaan' Giehl
Diana's Theme ('Daylight's End')

Ask not the sun why she sets
why she shrouds her light away
or why she hides her glowing gaze
when night turns crimson gold to grey.

For silent falls the guilty sun
as day to dark does turn.
One simple truth she dare not speak
Her light can only blind and burn.

No mercy for the guilty
bring down their lying sun.
Blood so silver black by night
upon their faces pale white.

Cruel moon, bring the end
The dawn will never rise again.
