The jungle race — the windows in Diana's plan

Read from Diana's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Warwick.

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearDanger — Avoid WarwickQ sustain and Blood Hunt frenzy out-heal your damage the moment you drop below half. Eternal Hunger sustain means they win any fight where both sides arrive off full camps on top of that, so level 1 is a straight stat check Diana loses — never fight him while low — his W tracks your blood trail; disengage above 50%, and give the river vision-line respect.
Level 2 SkirmishDanger — Avoid WarwickWarwick out-classes you on the second camp — Blood Hunt (W) attack speed plus Q healing out-sustains every trade pattern, and Q sustain and Blood Hunt frenzy out-heal your damage the moment you drop below half. Refuse the level-2 skirmish, full-clear away from them, and trade map pressure instead of health.
Level 3 RouteDanger — Avoid WarwickDo not be seen at the opening scuttle: Q sustain and Blood Hunt frenzy out-heal your damage the moment you drop below half. On top of that, Eternal Hunger sustain means they win any fight where both sides arrive off full camps, so they get there first. Never fight him while low — his W tracks your blood trail; disengage above 50%. Give up the level-3 river fight and farm the opposite quadrant until your spike lands.
Levels 4-5 MacroRespect Warwick — Path OppositeLevels 4-5 still belong to Warwick in a straight fight — farm the opposite side, answer their ganks cross-map, and wait for your spike.
Level 6 BreakpointEven Ult WindowInfinite Duress suppression plus Blood Hunt frenzy ends any duel that starts below full, and Moonfall answers it almost exactly. Decide this one on setup — vision, numbers and cooldowns — not on the ultimate comparison.
First Item SpikeNashor's / Hextech Rocketbelt SpikeCompleting your core item triggers a massive damage and clear acceleration loop that completely automates your camp rotation velocities. Your basic attacks shred through epic monsters in seconds, allowing you to easily execute stealth neutral pit captures. Use this priority window to force aggressive side-lane dives or counter-jungle lines cleanly. Warwick's first item is where the healing stops being sustain and starts being more than your damage can out-pace.
2+ Items ScalingDiana Favoured — Wins LateWarwick falls off relative to you — from two items on you win the raw stat check, even though he suppresses a carry for the length of the fight and out-heals your answer. Drag the game long and force the 1v1s.
