| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Qiyana | Qiyana's element-empowered Q and terrain dashes win the level-1 skirmish before your kit is online. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 you have E to farm and trade at range, pulling it back to even. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays even with disciplined E spacing denying her a clean dash-in. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through levels 4-5 you match her shove and deny the all-in, keeping it skill-based. |
| Level 6 | Qiyana | At level 6 her Supreme Display of Talent combo can one-shot you and enable roams, handing her the edge. |
| First item | Qiyana | Her first-item assassin spike arrives before your scaling, so she stays ahead. |
| Two+ items | Viktor | With 2+ items your evolved range and waveclear outscale her burst, so you take control. |
Qiyana has the stronger early: her element-empowered Q out-trades you and she can dash in with terrain, so respect her level 1-3 aggression, farm with E from range, and don't walk into brush she controls.
