Diana leads the Order of the Exalted Lion, a group of hunters that protect our world from supernatural creatures like werewolves, vampires, and ghosts.

If you want to know specific combos about Diana’s weapons, check out our Blasters combos and strings and Bow combos and strings guide.

Diana stats and best stance

Diana has a very balanced spread of stats. Her Dexterity and Speed are 6, whereas her Strength and Defense are 5. Her Speed stance feels very strong, as both of your weapons like high movement speed and quick Dash Jumps.

Diana special tactics

Neutral game

Diana’s weapons lead to her having excellent zoning and anti-air capabilities. Blasters is all about aggressive vertical pressure, disjointed hitboxes, and space taking, which Bow complements with its defensive area denial, extremely far range, and quick diagonal hitboxes.

Diana’s Signatures are absolutely destructive. Both of her NSigs are amazing anti-airs, the SSigs can punish many different reactions, and the DSigs might be the strongest kill moves in the game. Her Signatures, in general, are also excellent string extenders, and can be used to read, or even just to mix up, due to their low recovery. Their uses offstage are slightly limited, but their Slide Cancels and Gravity Cancels can lead to some nasty kills, once you’re comfortable with them.

Offstage Game

Diana is made to thrive as long as she has her opponent in the air, whether that’s onstage or off. Blasters, obviously, have insane deep dive potential, given their Recovery, and, if you pick the Speed Stance, you can even go pretty far out. Her Bow is less safe super far offstage, but it’s better suited to ladder someone downward, given its various aerial strings.

Edgeguarding

As I said above, Diana is very strong offstage. She can go deep, she can ladder, and she can space people out in the air. For these reasons, Diana has some of the strongest edgeguarding in the game.

You should always look to at least zone them off with your long range aerial hitboxes, but, preferably, you’re gimping opponents and securing a stock lead with your high aerial kill potential. Your main weaknesses are twofold - opponents approaching from above, and opponents playing around the corner/ledge. In either of these situations, you’ll just want to zone off.

Diana Signature Moves and special tactics

The bow is a medium ranged weapon, with some long range diagonal attacks, like dAir and Recovery. The feeling is very similar to the orb but faster, albeit having less range. It’s very easy to go ham with the weapon once you get the hang of it, as people can’t dodge fast enough, and it has some very easy combos with dLight.

Blasters nSig

Diana launches a bomb into the air, then waits before blasting it, creating an explosion. Great for cornerguarding, and can be XPivot Slide Canceled for mixup wall scraping. Also great out of DLight for catching Jumps and dodges.

Blasters sSig

Diana rolls forward, releasing a barrage of blasts. This is probably Diana’s worst Signature Attack, but it’s still good for some dodge reading or cornerguarding.

Blasters dSig

Diana stands triumphantly, then fires two shots from her Blasters. If one or both connect, she then ties up the opponent, and throws them downwards, with high force. This is an absolutely cataclysmic kill move when you’re backed into the corner of the stage, and it does so much damage with so little end lag that it’s great to catch people recovering to the corner, as well.

Bow nSig

Diana vaults into the air, then detonates a small bomb, dealing damage and knocking opponents directly away from her. The most common use for this move is to catch aerial reactions out of SLight or DLight, But it can also be Slide Canceled or Gravity Canceled to great effect. It comes out so fast that it can even be used to dodge low sweeping Light Attacks, such as Sword or Hammer DLight

Bow sSig

Diana prepares to attack, then swings her bow around while spinning forward, carrying any opponents hit along the way, then throwing them. This is, without a doubt, the best move in Diana’s entire kit. It’s very easily punishable, so don’t go throwing it out, but it catches both Side Dodges, Spot Dodges, and most Wake-Up reactions out of SLight or DLight. It also kills fairly early, which can be infuriating to play against.

Bow dSig

Similarly to her Blasters DSig, Diana poses valiantly, then swings once with her bow. If the swing connects, she ropes her opponent in, and throws them behind her with great force. Another stunningly strong kill move. Diana’s DSig is great in the corner, and it’s quick enough to catch spot dodges.

Best Diana Blasters combos and strings

The blasters are particularly effective when maintaining a certain distance from the opponent. Keeping the spacing favorable is necessary to be able to use the powerful combos that the weapon offers.

dLight > nSig

This combo works excellently for catching Dodges, jumps, and reactions. Also works as a kill string at higher percentages.

sLight > dSig

Good for catching Spot or Down Dodges, and useful for those funky sLights that don’t really have many follow ups.

Falling sAir > sSig

Only consistently usable in mid range percentages, but deadly, once you’re familiar with it. Perform a sAir as you’re landing, then buffer a sSig to come out while the opponent is in hitstun. This is dodgeable, but the range it covers should throw off the enemy, so it should be pretty decent online.

Best Diana Bow combos and strings

sLight>dLight>nSig

Diana’s bread and asser. A stellar dodge read, which is practically true below Platinum. Use this to catch all sorts of dodges, and kill surprisingly early.

sLight>dSig

A staple Spot or In Dodge read. This works so well because, if you land it on stage, you bounce the opponent into XPivot sAir or Recovery range, and, if you throw the opponent off stage, you just follow them down and gimp them out of their stock.

sLight>sSig

Similar to the combo above, but for catching Out Dodges and some Wake-Ups.
