Playing as Qiyana
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Dr. Mundo
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Infected Bonesaw (Q) hits the first enemy, and it's his only ranged spell to slow you.
- Save your best CC for later
If you have several CCs, lead with the least valuable: Goes Where He Pleases (passive) lets him resist the first immobilizing effect.
- Don't focus him during his R
Don't keep hitting him during Maximum Dosage (R): he regenerates part of his max health for the whole duration and gains move speed.
- Target his carries in teamfights
In teamfights, target his carries rather than him: Goes Where He Pleases (passive) gives him far stronger health regen than normal.
