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 Twisted Fate
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Back off when he shuffles his cards
Step out of his attack range when he shuffles his cards with Pick a Card (W): if he locks in the Gold Card, his next auto stuns you.
- Engage after his Gold Card
If you can engage, go in right after his Gold Card: without Pick a Card (W), he has no other stun and no dash to escape.
- Play safe when he casts his ult
As soon as he casts Destiny (R), move closer to your tower if you're low: he sees every champion on your team for 6 to 10 seconds and can teleport to you.
- Ping as soon as he disappears
Ping your team as soon as he leaves your vision: Destiny (R) takes him up to 5500 range away, which lets him gank a nearby lane.
