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 Rammus

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Powerball (Q) stops on the first enemy it collides with, minions included.

  2. Lean on magic damage

    If you deal magic damage, lean on it in trades when Defensive Ball Curl (W) is on cooldown: without it, his resistances drop to those of an ordinary tank.

  3. Stay out of taunt range

    If you're ranged, don't let him reach melee range when Frenzying Taunt (E) is ready: its range is short, and it forces you to attack him.

  4. Leave his impact zone fast

    Get out of the Soaring Slam (R) area fast: aftershocks repeat the slow there, and if cast during Powerball (Q), it adds a knock-up in the center.

  5. No autos on Defensive Ball Curl

    Don't attack during Defensive Ball Curl (W): each auto returns magic damage to you, and he gains armor and magic resist.
