Guide to Countering Diana as Shaco

Tips for Playing as Shaco against Diana

Using Deceive over terrain can help you make a clean escape.

Try getting items with on-hit effects. These will also benefit your Hallucination clone.

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.
