| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Diana lacks her shield at level 1, so your Q-poke trades win outright. |
| Level 2 | Yone | At level 2 she still can't shield-trade, keeping the advantage with you. |
| Level 3 | Yone | Your level 3 E-Q3 outdamages her Crescent Strike poke, staying ahead. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | At 4-5 her stacked Pale Cascade shield evens the short trades, a skill window. |
| Level 6 | Yone | Your E snapback negates her Moonfall pull at 6, tilting level 6 back to you. |
| First item | Yone | First-item crit wins the extended fight past her front-loaded burst. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Late-game your sustained damage and mobility outscale her, keeping you ahead. |
At levels 1-2 Diana has only Crescent Strike and no shield yet, so you Q-poke and win any trade she tries to start before Pale Cascade is online.
