Playing as Qiyana

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Pick your element for the job

    Pick your Terrashape (W) element for the job: river for an Ice root, terrain for Rock's bonus damage on low-health targets, brush for Wild's invisibility.

  2. Two Elemental Wraths with Terrashape

    Cast Terrashape (W) right after Elemental Wrath (Q): the dash resets its cooldown, so you can recast it in the same combo.

  3. Slam them against a wall

    Cast Supreme Display of Talent (R) toward a wall near the enemies: the explosion runs along the whole edge of the obstacle, and any river or brush it crosses explodes too.

  4. Roam with the brush element

    Roam with Wild, the brush element: Elemental Wrath (Q) then leaves a trail that makes you invisible and speeds you up.

Playing against Diana

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her crescent

    Dodge Crescent Strike (Q): without the mark, Lunar Rush (E) keeps its 22 to 14 second cooldown and she can't recast it.

  2. Play hard before she hits 6

    Take trades before she hits level 6: without Moonfall (R), she has no pull or slow to keep you in melee range.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies when she dives: Moonfall (R) pulls in nearby enemies and hits harder for each champion pulled.
