Guide to Countering Diana as Zoe

Tips for Playing as Zoe against Diana

Sleepy Trouble Bubble travels further over walls. Find a hiding spot to set up for a long distance kill.

Break Sleep with your biggest damage source, since enemies who are asleep take double damage.

Paddle Star deals more damage the further it has flown. Casting it behind yourself before redirecting can deal tons of damage.

Advice to Win Against Diana

Pale Cascade orbs only last a few seconds. Avoid Diana and engage her after the shield dissipates.

Diana can play very aggressively if she uses Lunar Rush without Moonlight, but you can punish her by slowing or stunning her when she has no way to get back into position.

Dodge Crescent Strike, or move to safety if you are affected by Moonlight.
