Assassin
Beginner Rule
Be extra careful fighting Qiyana near walls — that's where Supreme Display of Talent (R) is most dangerous.
Qiyana is an assassin who excels at bursting targets and controlling fights around terrain. She wants to use elemental enchants from Terrashape (W) before landing Supreme Display of Talent (R) against walls, rivers, or brush. Many beginners underestimate how much stronger Qiyana becomes when fighting near terrain.
Level 3 – Full combo unlocked.
Level 6 – Ultimate creates huge burst potential.
First Item – Can quickly eliminate squishy targets.

QWhat it does
Swings her weapon dealing damage with an elemental bonus — fire burns, river slows, rock briefly roots.
How to play against
The element determines the bonus effect. River element's slow is the most dangerous — it enables her full combo chase.
WWhat it does
Dashes to a location and enchants her weapon with the element there.
How to play against
She dashes to water, brush, or rock to charge up. Deny her water and rock access by standing between her and them.
EWhat it does
Dashes to an enemy dealing damage.
How to play against
Her gap-close. When its cooldown is down she has no dash and is far less threatening.
RWhat it does
Sends a shockwave that detonates nearby elements — walls and rock stun, water slows, brush roots.
How to play against
She'll ult into a wall for a massive AoE stun. Don't stand near walls or terrain near her.
