How to win lane as Qiyana against Vex · 47.08% win rate over 873 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Qiyana | Level 1 yours — your first-hit trade beats her before her tools come online. |
| Level 2 | Qiyana | Level 2 still favors you as long as you don't blind-dash into her passive. |
| Level 3 | Qiyana | Level 3 you assemble WEQ and out-burst her once her W is baited. |
| Levels 4-5 | Qiyana | Levels 4-5 you hold the all-in whenever her Personal Space is down. |
| Level 6 | Qiyana | At 6 you win the melee commit if you wall-R after her shield is spent. |
| First item | Qiyana | First item lets you burst through her Gloom before she fears you off. |
| Two+ items | Qiyana | Two-plus items you delete her in skirmishes played around her cooldowns. |
Levels 1-2 you have the stat lead but must respect that Vex punishes dashes — don't blind-E into her, just farm with your element up and chip with Q when she steps for CS. Your Royal Privilege first-hit still wins short trades if she has no shield ready.
