| Level 3 | Qiyana | Level 3 gives her the full W-Q-E combo that punishes any step-up. |
| Levels 4-5 | Qiyana | Through 4-5 her assassin burst outpaces your single-target poke. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 her ult all-in and your R trade evenly, so it comes down to who lands first. |
| First item | Lux | By first item your Q one-shots her tempo and out-ranges her engage. |
| Two+ items | Lux | Fully itemized a landed Q plus R reset deletes her before she executes. |
Levels 1-2 are hers: Qiyana's element-empowered Q and W dash give her superior short-trade damage, so you cannot contest autos. Shove with E from safety and freeze nothing.
