How to win lane as Vex against Qiyana · 54.01% win rate over 1,061 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vex | Your Q outranges her and her only gap-closer feeds your passive at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Vex | At 2 she must E-dash to trade, and you fear the dash every time. |
| Level 3 | Vex | Level 3 her all-in relies on an E your Gloom hard-counters. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vex | Through 4-5 you control the wave and her weak range keeps her behind. |
| Level 6 | Vex | At 6 your R roam and burst outpace her cooldown-gated engage. |
| First item | Vex | First item your burst kills her before she completes a full combo. |
| Two+ items | Vex | Late she must dash into fights, handing you a free fear on her all-in. |
You hold the advantage from level 1. Qiyana has no ranged pressure that matters, only a Q she wants to empower and an E dash to close the gap, and that dash feeds your passive. Poke with Mistral Bolt, respect her element pickups, and keep your W and passive up for when she commits. If she E's in without an element, fear her and walk away with the trade.
