run her with grasp of the undying, shield bash, revitalize, and bone plating. time warp tonic and biscuit delivery for instant heals/mana regen in lane phase. 12 adaptive force and armor.

normal start with , start 2 and wait in the middle bush at start. when they show to lane get 2 hits, w, proc shieldbash and 3 hit at same time. then play super aggressive around minions with your w +shield bash to deter from farm/chunk. it legit stomps every melee except nasus and pantheon.

Can work early yes, but any champ that builds tank will still win later. Cho, Darius, irelia, Jax, kench. All would dumpster her

The massive issue of diana top is that she auto pushes when she trades while she has no escape. She has no issues dealing with the direkt lane matchup in most cases, but she's just free food for any decent jungler and plays poorly once set behind.

Personally, I would go with Aftershock. Moonfall is her only hard cc, but it is pretty reliable when you dive with your ultimate. The bonus resistances improve the effectiveness of her shield(s) which allows you to win trades even harder.

One thing about Shield Bash. If you're actually able to lane a basic attack before your second shield pops, it refreshes Shield Bash and the damage will be applied based on your remaining shield + your new shield.

I would still go for more of a damage build than tank. AP Bruiser would work. item 3027 item 3152 item 3157 item 3102 .. The AP works to increase Diana's shield(s) and helps her maintain burst. Afterall, your goal is still to kill the target quickly. This build just makes you more capable of surviving if you don't pop them in seconds.

Diana top is like Nocturne top. It works. Its strong, relative to the lane itself.

But they both have the same weakness. They break team comp metas, and can cost you the late game if you don't properly fit into your team comp. Even if you crap all over your enemy top laner.

rarely is it a good idea to have an assassin type in the top lane. Yes she can be a bruiser, but someone who actually is a bruiser would fulfill that role better.
