How to play as Diana

Respect LeBlanc's ranged pressure early, then use Crescent Strike (Diana Q) to mark her before Lunar Rush (Diana E); keep Pale Cascade (Diana W) for the burst instead of spending it before LeBlanc commits.

Pale Cascade (Diana W) shields Diana while its spheres damage nearby enemies, blunting the short burst LeBlanc tries to deliver with Distortion (LeBlanc W).

Crescent Strike (Diana Q) applies Moonlight and lets Lunar Rush (Diana E) dash again without its normal cooldown, giving Diana a way to keep chasing if LeBlanc spends Distortion (LeBlanc W) early.

How to play as LeBlanc

Bait Pale Cascade (Diana W) before spending the full Distortion (LeBlanc W) burst; if Diana keeps W ready, take a short Q-and-chain trade and save the return to avoid her extended follow-up.
