The jungle race — the windows in Warwick's plan

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

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearWarwick DominantEternal Hunger sustain means you win any fight where both sides arrive off full camps. There is no version of this Diana wins right now — Crescent Strike poke is real, but hold the all-in until their combo completes, and that folds at the first buff. Show on their side of the river and take a camp and a chunk of their health bar.
Level 2 SkirmishWarwick DominantBlood Hunt (W) attack speed plus Q healing out-sustains every trade pattern. Later in the game this bites, because a landed Crescent Strike into the dash-shield combo trades very hard at three. But with one camp still up on both sides none of it is online, so take the level-2 skirmish and tax every camp Diana concedes.
Level 3 RouteWarwick DominantPrimal Howl (E) damage reduction caps an early kit with no real counter-trade, while the Q-dash-W full combo comes online. Only one of those wins at the opening scuttle, so press it: take the level-3 river fight, then leave with the first scuttle and the gank window behind it.
Levels 4-5 MacroWarwick Favoured — Take DuelsThrough levels 4-5 you remain the stronger duelist — keep taking short, decisive trades vs Diana, but only with the HP and cooldown lead.
Level 6 BreakpointEven Ult WindowMoonfall's vacuum pull plus the dash-reset combo one-rotations squishier junglers, and Infinite Duress answers it almost exactly. Decide this one on setup — vision, numbers and cooldowns — not on the ultimate comparison.
First Item SpikeBotRK / Stride SpikeBlade of the Ruined King or Stridebreaker turns your already-strong dueling into outright stat-check dominance, with percent-health shred and stick potential layered onto your healing. Your camp clear accelerates sharply, letting you full-clear and still arrive for every river fight. Force extended skirmishes around objectives where nobody on their team can out-trade you 1v1. Diana's first item turns the Q-dash-Moonfall rotation from a chunk into a kill on anything without an escape.
2+ Items ScalingDanger — Diana OutscalesEvery minute past 25 tilts toward Diana — she one-rotations a squishy target and gets a second one free off the Moonfall pull. Force your win condition early or watch it slip away slowly.

How to beat Diana as Warwick: the first clear and pathing

Start either buff with Q sustain — you need no leash and end the opening camps near full health. Note Diana's starting side from lane leashes; your level 3 is strong enough that you can path toward them rather than away if you spot their entry point. Diana clears fast with Moonsilver Blade resets and Pale Cascade shields, and she leaves camps at close to full health.
