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 Ekko

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Avoid his third hit

    Take short trades: his third hit on you, auto or spell, triggers Z-Drive Resonance (passive), with bonus damage and a burst of speed.

  2. Leave his Q field

    When Timewinder (Q) expands on you, leave the field: it slows you, and the device hits you again on its way back to him.

  3. Get out of his sphere

    Leave the Parallel Convergence (W) sphere as soon as it appears: if he steps into it, it stuns every enemy inside.

  4. Aim where he'll reappear

    When he's low, don't chase him blindly: Chronobreak (R) brings him back to where he was 4 seconds earlier and damages nearby enemies. Ready your spells on that spot.
