Guide to Synergizing Diana and Gangplank

Tips for Playing as Diana with Gangplank

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.

Advice to Understand How Gangplank Will Play

Try placing Cannon Barrage on the path of escape to cut off fleeing enemies.

Parrrley applies On Hit effects like Frozen Mallet or Black Cleaver.

Paying attention to low-health enemies on the map can land you a surprise kill with Cannon Barrage.
