How to play Diana in ARAM Mayhem

Diana is a below-average pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier C, #130 of 173 champions, with a 47.5% win rate over 860,657 games.

73% of Diana's damage to champions is magic, so enemy magic resist is what slows it down. It soaks 51,202 damage per game and mitigates another 78,499, so it belongs at the front: start fights and absorb the poke your carries can't.

Most Diana players go AP (42% of games), but the Tank path, tank items, is ARAMKit's top-ranked build: Heartsteel, Unending Despair and Warmog's Armor, with a 50.9% win rate. On this build 66% of players skip boots and spend the slot on another item.

The cards that do best on Diana are Take'em Down Down Down, Steel Your Heart and Armored Impact. Cards built around health and resistances fill most of the top of its list, followed by attack speed and on-hit. Skip Purist - Caster and Ultra Hydra when you can: they do worst on Diana. A pair to look for: Steel Your Heart with Lich Brain.

Take Flash and Mark (95% of players). Max Q (Crescent Strike) first, then W, then E. Players who max W first instead win a little more often, so it is worth trying.
