Guide to Countering Diana as K'Sante

Tips for Playing as K'Sante against Diana

Take advantage of Flurry by weaving in basic attacks between spell casts - this maximizes damage output and minimizes Energy loss.

Use Sonic Wave before Dragon's Rage so you can chase the target with Resonating Strike.

Self-casting Safeguard and using Iron Will are powerful tools for killing neutral monsters (in the jungle).

Advice to Win Against Diana

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.

Dodge Crescent Strike, or move to safety if you are affected by Moonlight.
