How to Beat Diana as Volibear (Jungle)

The Volibear versus Diana matchup in the jungle is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Volibear deals mixed damage - the opponent has fewer options for defense. Meanwhile, Diana deals primarily magic damage (79.71%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Diana, ranking 3rd (versus 9th for Volibear) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.3 versus 2.7) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Volibear Jungle versus Diana Jungle matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Volibear player to maintain constant pressure on Diana, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Playing Against Diana

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