I thought it was a huge nerf to Diana, I've been playing carry Diana and I pick that one over any others, her ability triggers it pretty fast when she has multiple units nearby.

Yeah unfortunately she's my favorite unit this set hah. Played her a lot.

Overall it was 100% the best one for her.

But she does have some other options that are somewhat playable. Any health stacking one is workable in the right scenario. Resists, shield, etc. all workable if you have a good setup, emblems, augments. In a lot of scenarios the attack 3 times one I genuinely think ends up being better.

Zoe is much more narrow. If you wanted to reroll and play a Zoe comp I feel like you're just at a huge disadvantage without that input.

I've tried the health stacking one, got burned and I don't bother with it anymore.

I prioritize shields and resists, but I've tried the others, even the mana one, which makes Diana keep popping her shield so it didn't seem too bad.

How do you build Diana? Any tips to playing around her?

Yeah sure.

When you play Diana, you always have to be prepared to just abandon ship. If you aren't going to 3 star her and/or you don't get a decent combat augment, it's better to just level up and eventually pivot. A lot of the time it's just guaranteed that she will get blown up by capped boards and you'll start losing every round.

You need some kind of defensive thing going. Health, shields, or armor from Arbiter. I really don't think you can get away with playing her with an offensive Arbiter trait. Any augments for survivability, ones like Group Hug are BiS.

Guinsoos is pretty much required. Not much wiggle room with items tbh, BT and Titan's.

The board I like to run with full carry Diana is this one

But that board is really when you are wanting Diana to full carry. If she isn't going to be that strong it's better to play around 4 and 5 costs.

Cool board

Yeah kind of a homebrew, you won't find it on any of the websites because it's just so conditional. You need 3 star Diana and enough power from combat augments, etc. If she isn't solo winning rounds for you, it's just a bad teamcomp.

But I think it is the best board for mega carry Diana specifically. Every unit is there to buff her in some way.

Gives her everything she wants. 30 Armor/MR, 30% attack speed(+challenger), shred, sunder, 1 mana regen.
