Track: Diana's Q — Crescent Strike (8–6s cooldown). Moonlight marks reset her dash — sidestep the arc and her dive has no follow-up.
Read from Veigar's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Diana.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Diana | Level 1 favors Diana: her Q poke and passive out-trade a comboless Veigar. |
| Level 2 | Diana | Level 2 stays Diana's with continued poke and shield uptime. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is Diana's as Lunar Rush comes online for gap-closing. |
| Levels 4-5 | Diana | Levels 4-5 remain Diana-favored before Veigar has his ult. |
| Level 6 | Veigar | Level 6 flips to Veigar: Diana's R dive pulls her into Event Horizon for a free stun-combo. |
| First item | Diana | First item tips back to Diana as her tankier, resettable all-in beats a Veigar on E cooldown. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | At 2+ items Veigar wins — stacked AP combo bursts through her shield on a landed E. |
Levels 1-4 favor Diana — her Q poke, shield and eventual Lunar Rush gap-close out-trade you while you can only last-hit with Q, so soak XP and don't get caught without minions to body-block. Track Diana Crescent Strike: matchup-defining — 8s at rank 1 (6s max); Moonlight marks reset her E dash, so sidestep the arc and her dive has no follow-up.
