Learn how to Qiyana counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Position away from walls during lane and teamfights — Qiyana's R deals massive damage and stuns when it hits terrain, river, or brush, making open areas much safer against her.
Basic Lane Phase Team Fight
Stand outside your minion wave when laning — Qiyana will try to push with Q through minions while also hitting you, forcing her to choose between wave clear and poking.
Lane Phase
Play defensively when Qiyana holds the River (blue) Element — this often indicates her jungler is nearby, as the River Element provides a root followed by a slow for effective ganks.
Lane Phase
Be especially cautious at level 6 — Qiyana gains a powerful ultimate that can stun and deal massive damage, significantly increasing her kill potential.
Basic Lane Phase
Engage Qiyana in extended trades after she uses her E-Q-W-Q combo — she excels in short burst trades but becomes vulnerable once her abilities are on cooldown.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Look to trade when Qiyana uses Q on the minion wave — with a 7-second cooldown on her main damage ability, this creates a window where her damage output is significantly reduced.
Lane Phase
Back away when Qiyana creates her Brush (green) Element field — this grants her invisibility and movement speed for up to 3 seconds, creating a strong advantage in trades if you stay close.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Unlike many assassins, Qiyana excels in mid-game teamfights due to her ultimate's area control — she's strongest around 15-25 minutes when objectives and skirmishes become more frequent.
