Diana: Nightfall buffs into Double Attack
Diana · from r/LegendsOfRuneterra · 2026-10-14
Use a cheap enabling play, then
Nightfall to build
Double Attack and repeated champion buffs.
Build
Overview
Diana wants
Nightfall, repeated
Pale Cascade casts and a way to give her
Overwhelm. Older advice predates the newer relics; the
Hidden Tome version here is the one players run today. It preserves the same plan: grow
Diana, reach the keyword threshold and connect with
Double Attack.
The build
Echoing Spirit
Game Start: Create 7 copies of me in deck. Champion Spells cost 1 less.
More champion copies improve access to the engine and its champion spell. Copies in hand become spells while the champion is on board; the spell discount makes repeated casts easier.
Chosen by the Stars
Fated,
Augment
Empowered 10:
Overwhelm,
Regeneration, and
Challenger.
Ally targeting and created-card plays build champion stats. Its ten-power threshold turns that scaling into combat reach and resilience; inspect the threshold before relying on those keywords.
Hidden Tome
Power: When you play or level up a champion, refill your spell mana.
The play and level-up refill enables spells on the turn you establish the champion. A summon without the relevant trigger does not automatically supply that refill.
How to play
Play an inexpensive card before
Diana so
Nightfall is active. At three stars units with
Quick Attack receive
Double Attack from their
Nightfall trigger; the champion’s own spell is a repeatable way to strengthen her while building the card-play sequence.
The extra champion copies improve spell access, the mana refill supports the initial spell turn, and the scaling relic supplies combat keywords once its power threshold is met. Attack when the large
Double Attack unit can connect; do not confuse
Nightfall with simply playing the first card of a round.
Drafting and alternatives
The Grand General's Counterplan,
Archangel's Staff and
Troll King's Crown make an accessible rare-only spell package. The recurring copy supplies another
Pale Cascade while
Diana is on board, and the spell-mana refill helps fund it. Her level-15 upgrade adds a rare item to the strongest ally when that spell is played; it is a level reward, not an effect every new
Diana starts with.
Overwhelm matters with
Double Attack: damage can still reach the Nexus after the first strike kills the blocker. In this build,
Chosen by the Stars provides it only at ten power. If you have not reached that threshold, do not evaluate the attack as though she already has it.
Troll King's Crown supplies it without that threshold.
Some players prefer
Corrupted Star Fragment to grow
Diana from a supported ally; consuming an
Overwhelm ally can also transfer that keyword. This trades away a body.
Galeforce no longer
Recall her: it shuffles her into the deck at Round End, so older repeat-every-round plays don't work the same way.
Star-power checkpoint
Allies have "
Nightfall: Grant me +2|+0 and
Quick Attack. If I already have
Quick Attack, grant me
Double Attack instead."
