Guide to Synergizing Diana and Graves

Tips for Playing as Diana with Graves

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 Graves Will Play

Smoke Screen can be used both to escape and to set up a kill.

Using Quickdraw to get into range and delivering a point blank Buckshot can do lots of damage.
