W
Pale Cascade
Diana creates three orbiting spheres that detonate on contact with enemies to deal damage in an area. She also gains a temporary shield that absorbs damage. If her third sphere detonates, the shield gains additional strength.
Playing As Diana

- -Consider when to cast Lunar Rush without Moonlight and when to wait for another Crescent Strike.
- -Use Moonfall and Lunar Rush to stay on targets and activate Moonsilver Blade for extra damage.
Playing Against Diana
- -Dodge Crescent Strike, or move to safety if you are affected by Moonlight.
- -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.
Lore
Bearing her crescent moonblade, Diana fights as a warrior of the Lunari—a faith all but quashed in the lands around Mount Targon. Clad in shimmering armor the color of winter snow at night, she is a living embodiment of the silver moon's power. Imbued with the essence of an Aspect from beyond Targon's towering summit, Diana is no longer wholly human, and struggles to understand her power and purpose in this world.
