Hybrid AP/AD Diana Jungle: Can it work???

Chatillon·Aug 5, 2015·1 votes·1,045 views

So i played a custom game in bots waiting for my brother to finish his game so i could play with him. Diana is one of my favorite champs, one of my first, and i love her lore, her kit, playstyle. I always build her with one, or two ap items, a nashors, and tank, b/c low level (10-15) i couldnt engage without getting blown up so i need tank and its just become a habit.

But in this game, i built nashors, then phage, then tforce and i realized how insanely strong she could be with an AS/AD build.

So the question, for diana jungle

Could i do Diana jungle with a Sated, Tforce, and Bork, then two tank items, and boots? I haven't tried it yet, but i think that it could be really good because of Diana's sticking power. I have yet to try AS diana top too.

If anyone has tried this or something similar, give me some feedback. I will try this regardless, but i just wanna know going into it

I know how insane Diana is traditionally, and im not saying this is some hidden gem, but she is already a crazy duelist. This is for fun, and im not trying to do some shit like top zilean because i think its actually good. Just for fun, but...

Respect the Chronoshift - Zilean

Imo, AP/AS Diana works better than AP/AD.

You need devourer and Nashor's and then get Whatever suits your fancy in terms of AP items.

I bet playing her as a bit more of a DPS bruiser with a BotRK could work, but she has such good AP ratios that I'd say AP, Mpen, and AS is more valuable for damage than BotRK, since a lot of your damage comes from proccing your passive every 2 hits instead of 3 (which means you have a lot of AoE magic DPS that scales exceptionally well with AP).

AP/AS is sort of viable/trollish but AP/AD won't work. She gets more AA dmg from ap than ad ^^.

Uh yeah just go full AP because your passive scales off it and you basically wreck in duels because of the third aa.

Trinity force then tanky (maybe one offensive item) is viable on everyone. I play akali like that a lot now and take cinderhulk red smite then trinity force and the rest tank items although i might put a frozen mallet as my last item:). I dont think hybrid diana would work but trinity then tanky would most definitely work.
