How to win lane as Diana against Azir · 56.22% win rate over 635 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Diana | Diana out-trades him early since Azir's soldiers hit like wet noodles under level 3 and he risks going oom fast. |
| Level 2 | Diana | Same story through level 2 — his kit needs mana and levels he doesn't have yet, keeping him passive. |
| Level 3 | Diana | Still your window: soldiers scale but Azir hasn't hit the mana-sustain items or rank-ups to spam-poke you off. |
| Levels 4-5 | Diana | Your all-in and roam pressure stays ahead of his scaling right up to 6. |
| Level 6 | Diana | Moonfall lets you dunk him from outside soldier range — his single best defensive tool, R, can't stop a point-blank pull. |
| First item | Diana | Lost Chapter/Rush of Sorcery keeps your all-in tempo ahead of his itemization curve. |
| Two+ items | Azir | Full-build Azir's wall-and-poke kit (Shurima's Legacy range plus Emperor's Divide) finally out-scales your dive potential. |
You outclass Azir at levels 1-5 because his soldiers deal reduced damage under level 3 and he can't afford to spam them without going oom. Push in with Q-AA-Q and threaten all-in the moment he over-summons or misses a Static Shock passive proc. Watch his mana bar; a sub-40% Azir mid can't contest a dive. Take fast trades under his tower whenever his E wall is down.
