Azir vs Qiyana

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable waves to safely scale soldier DPS against Qiyana's burst potential.
Deny Qiyana terrain access to limit her (R) stun threat and all-in windows.
Use soldier zones to control space and prepare for teamfights around objectives.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) to reposition soldiers for poke, keeping distance from Qiyana's engage range.
Punish poor element choices or unsafe (E) commits with quick soldier damage.
Respect (R) terrain stun by avoiding fights near walls or river until (R) is available.

Danger windows

Avoid extended trades when Qiyana has correct element and (R) near terrain.
Play cautiously if (R) or (E) is down, as Qiyana's all-in threat rises.
Never use (E) aggressively without a safe exit to avoid burst punishment.

Early game

Farm behind soldiers early to avoid (E) dash burst before level 6.
Poke with (Q) and (W) when Qiyana commits (E) without lethal threat.
Avoid aggressive (E) engages early to prevent being collapsed on by her high mobility.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) grants a major defensive tool to deny Qiyana's all-ins and isolate her.
First mage DPS item significantly boosts soldier damage and trading threat.
Respect Qiyana's level 3 element setup and level 6 (R) for burst and stun potential near terrain.

Win conditions

Maintain safe farm and soldier zones to outscale Qiyana and control teamfights.
Use (R) to disengage or isolate Qiyana's all-ins and punish overcommits.
Deny Qiyana terrain and brush access to reduce her (R) impact and force bad trades.

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