| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yasuo | You favour L1: Diana has no gap-close and eats your Q pokes. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | You favour L2: still no dash for her, so you trade up freely. |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | You favour L3: your E-Q burst punishes her stepping in to CS. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Even L4-5: a skill standoff as she approaches her level-6 power spike. |
| Level 6 | Diana | Diana favours L6: Moonfall+Lunar Rush plus Pale Cascade shield wins the all-in you can't Wind Wall. |
| First item | Yasuo | You favour 1st item: Kraken/Shieldbow lets you win the extended fight after her burst. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | You favour 2+ items: your DPS and knockup chain outscale her single combo once E/R are down. |
Diana has no dash pre-6, so at levels 1-3 you outrange her with Q pokes and can walk her down whenever she steps up to farm.
