Diana Battlemage (Conqueror) Guide
Patch 26.19 Diamond+·Difficulty:
Diana Battlemage is Conqueror Diana built on Dusk and Dawn into Riftmaker: the damage of an assassin, played closer to a bruiser. You win the long fight, not the first trade, because your passive keeps hitting whether or not a spell landed. Farm toward your item spikes, hold R until their escapes are gone, and space your spells so your passive never drops.
Runes
Quick Tips
All phases
- •Space every hit. Move between attacks; standing still wastes the attack speed your spells give you.
- •Aim Q slightly to the side of the target, not on top of it. The curve reaches further than a straight shot.
- •Land Q and E first, then press W on arrival so all three orbs connect.
- •Into Viego, win the long fight, not the first trade. One item Viego beats one item Diana.

Early Game
Before 1st item
- •Your first clear should have you level 4 by 2:56, and by 2:54 once you are Master.
- •Clear top to bot, and take the scuttle at the end of it.
- •Take W at level 2: it shields you if the scuttle turns into a fight, which E does not.
- •Never finish a camp with Q unless it is your last one; aim it so it also hits and pulls the next camp.
- •Hold E until Q is back up. An E with no mark on the target wastes your only gap close.
- •Build three passive hits on a camp before the big spells so every clear starts with more damage.
First Back

Default

Long range comps
Mid Game
1-3 items
- •Riftmaker second: the long fight is where you win, and it keeps you alive in it.
- •R into a group before you Q. The pull stacks them together and Q hits all of them.
- •Walk forward after R, never stand still. If they Flash, moving toward them keeps them in the damage.
- •Clear your weak side camps first, then path hard toward the strong side.
- •Defending a turret, throw Q, E and W into the wave; your spells clear it faster than your hits do.

- •Q the frontline and wait. The longer you hold E, the sooner Q is back for the second rotation.
- •If R from fog pulls several of them, skip the Q and E and let the pull do the work.
- •Build Conqueror on the frontline first, then turn to the backline once it is full.
- •Put a hit between every spell so the Dusk and Dawn proc lands every time.
- •Your R lands while they are already low, which is why Coup de Grace is on the page.
