Qiyana vs Lux

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Qiyana must manage element choice and terrain access to pressure Lux and punish her skillshot reliance.
Use medium early lane pressure to deny Lux a passive scaling lane and force her to miss Lux Q for punish windows.

Trading pattern

Prepare the correct element with W before engaging short trades with Q poke and E dash when Lux Q is down.
Punish Lux's missed Lux Q by committing with E into burst before she can respond.
Avoid trading away from terrain or with wrong element as Lux can safely poke and shield with Lux W.

Danger windows

Respect Lux Q root as it enables her burst combo; avoid committing when Lux Q is up.
Avoid all-ins away from terrain or when R is down to prevent counter-engage.
Be cautious after using E without lethal threat, as Lux can retaliate with poke and Lux Q.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to set element and threaten short burst trades before Lux can safely poke.
Avoid Lux Q by dodging skillshots and punish her cooldown to force trades with E and Q burst.
Control brush or river terrain to maximize R threat and limit Lux's safe poke angles.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Q-W-E burst setup and dash access for short trades.
Level 6 R greatly increases kill threat near terrain or river.
First lethality item completion amplifies burst damage to punish Lux's lack of mobility.

Win conditions

Use element swaps and terrain to create lethal burst trades and snowball river skirmishes with R.
Deny Lux cooldowns and punish missed Lux Q to maintain lane control and prevent her scaling.
Roam or flank from brush and river to leverage high mobility and terrain stun for kills beyond lane.

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