Get on her with E2 the moment Vault (Dash/Blind) is down — one full chain with the W heal erases a poke deficit.
Track: Quinn's E — Vault (12–8s cooldown). Blind + disengage in one button — fight while it is down.
Read from Sylas's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Quinn.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | Quinn's Harrier passive marks you Vulnerable on her first step-up and her Q poke outranges your level-1 Q — you have no safe forward move and no answer to her empowered auto. |
| Level 2 | Quinn | Vault interrupts your chain and lands her back at attack range exactly as you close, and Blinding Assault blanks the Petricite autos you meant to follow up with. |
| Level 3 | Quinn | Full kit is online but Vault runs on 8-12s and Blinding Assault on 9-11s — a commit needs both spent, not one, so count them before you step up. |
| Levels 4-5 | Quinn | Harrier-empowered autos plus Vault disengage let her pick the length of every trade; she walks in, procs Vulnerable, and Vaults out before your chain-passive rotation lands. |
| Level 6 | Quinn | Hijacking Skystrike flips the disengage math — she burns Vault to dodge your hook and you re-close with the stolen dash, landing E2 into a full Q-W-passive rotation she cannot escape. |
| First item | Quinn | Riftmaker Omnivamp stacks through your full chain rotation and W burst; the poke deficit she built all lane erases in one sustained trade, and your kill threat is real from any HP value. |
| Two+ items | Sylas | Two AP items plus a stolen ult make you a teamfight flex that outscales her skirmisher kit in full five-on-five brawls — flank in, hook her backline carry, and force fights she cannot bird-dive her way out of. |
Level 1 is a tax you pay. Quinn's Harrier passive marks you for a bonus-damage first attack and her Q reaches 1025 against your 775 — stay back, last-hit at chain tip range, and do not walk up without a minion body between you. At level 2 your W comes online but she still has Vault as a get-out: it interrupts your approach and drops her back at attack range, and Blinding Assault turns off the autos you were closing to land. Your job levels 1-3 is to shield E1 through her poke, count Vault at 8-12s and Blinding Assault at 9-11s, and accept you are not winning a trade unless both are spent.
