Guide to Countering Jayce as Diana

Tips for Playing as Diana against Jayce

Use Moonfall and Lunar Rush to stay on targets and activate Moonsilver Blade for extra damage.

Consider when to cast Lunar Rush without Moonlight and when to wait for another Crescent Strike.

Landing Crescent Strike is critically important, but don't be afraid to miss. The cooldown is short and the mana cost is low.

Jayce is strong in the early game. If he gains the advantage, play defensively.

Jayce can attack in melee or at range. Pay attention to his stance and weapon color to know how he is going to attack.

If you see Jayce drop his Acceleration Gate, be careful, he is probably about to cast Shock Blast.
