Guide to Synergizing Diana and Malzahar

Tips for Playing as Diana with Malzahar

Use Moonfall and Lunar Rush to stay on targets and activate Moonsilver Blade for extra damage.

Consider when to cast Lunar Rush without Moonlight and when to wait for another Crescent Strike.

Landing Crescent Strike is critically important, but don't be afraid to miss. The cooldown is short and the mana cost is low.

Advice to Understand How Malzahar Will Play

Use Call of the Void and Nether Grasp to renew the duration of Malefic Visions on enemies.

Wait to cast Void Swarm until there are nearby enemies for the Voidling to attack or kill.

Avoiding damage in lane maximizes the uptime on Void Shift, increasing Malzahar's safety dramatically.
