Qiyana vs Vex

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Qiyana must manage element choice and terrain positioning to burst Vex before her passive fear punishes dashes.
Pressure Vex early to deny her passive fear uptime and prevent her from controlling lane with high agency.

Trading pattern

Set the correct element with W to maximize Q poke and punish Vex when her passive fear is down.
Commit E only when Vex's passive fear is spent or when near terrain for R follow-up.
Avoid trading when Vex's passive is up or her R is available to reset and retaliate.

Danger windows

Vex's passive fear windows punish Qiyana's E dashes; avoid engaging during active fear.
When Vex's R is available, avoid extended trades or all-ins away from terrain.
Be cautious if caught without element advantage or terrain access, as burst potential drops significantly.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to set element and threaten E dash trades before Vex can safely proc her passive fear.
Avoid committing E without lethal threat or escape path to prevent Vex from punishing with fear and burst.
Control wave to enable short trades near terrain and prepare for river skirmishes.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Q-W-E burst trades and element setup, crucial for early lane pressure.
Level 6 R greatly increases kill threat near terrain or river fights.
Respect Vex's level 6 R as her main engage and reset tool that can punish overextensions.

Win conditions

Use element swaps and terrain control to burst Vex quickly before she can apply passive fear.
Punish Vex's mobility cooldowns with E into burst or R stuns near walls and river.
Snowball lane pressure into river skirmishes and flanks to deny Vex scaling and roam impact.

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