Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to Qiyana's mobility and burst, but can survive by using Q shield and positioning behind minions.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure if you can land W to set up your full combo, as your R creates a death zone she struggles to escape from.
How to Trade
- Use Q for shield and poke, then immediately back off to avoid her engage range.
- When she commits with E, drop W on yourself and kite backwards while weaving in E damage, saving R for when she's locked down by W stun.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming safely and collecting Hex Fragments rather than fighting for priority early.
- Use E to clear waves from maximum range and avoid face-checking brushes where Qiyana might be setting up ambushes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W defensively unless Qiyana has already committed with E, as the long cooldown leaves you vulnerable to her next engage window.
- Avoid roaming without vision control since Qiyana excels at picks and can easily collapse on you in river or jungle.
