Aurora vs Qiyana

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use medium lane pressure to deny Qiyana easy element setups near terrain or brush.
Exploit your mobility and burst to punish Qiyana's overextensions after poor element choices.
Avoid extended trades and fights near terrain where (R) is strongest.

Trading pattern

Start trades by casting (Q), immediately reposition with (E), then reactivate (Q) for burst.
Punish Qiyana if she uses (E) without lethal pressure or picks the wrong element.
Avoid trading near walls or brush to minimize Qiyana's terrain-based burst potential.

Danger windows

Avoid fights near terrain or river when (R) is up to prevent stuns and burst.
Respect (E) dash threat, especially when your mobility or defensive cooldowns are down.
Be cautious after using (W) since you lack a quick escape and are vulnerable to all-ins.

Early game

Poke with (Q) followed by (E) when Qiyana commits (E) without lethal threat.
Keep the wave on your side to limit Qiyana's access to terrain and reduce her (R) threat.
Avoid using (W) carelessly since it leaves you without a quick escape.

Power spikes

Respect Qiyana's level 3 spike when she unlocks full element setup and (E) dash for burst trades.
Use your level 6 ultimate for high mobility and burst to contest Qiyana's terrain plays.
After your first completed AP burst item, increase pressure on waves and trades confidently.

Win conditions

Use your mobility and burst to pick off Qiyana when her (E) is down or after poor element setup.
Deny Qiyana access to terrain and brush to reduce her (R) impact and roaming threat.
Scale through level 6 and your first AP item to outburst Qiyana in mid to late game skirmishes.

Tip: For Aurora vs Qiyana, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
