Zilean into Qiyanamedium

Overview

Respect Qiyana's level 3 element combo and dash for burst trades; avoid extended fights.
Avoid fighting near walls, river, or brush where stun impact is maximized.
Be cautious when is up and your revive is down.

Contest level 2 only if your mid-lane ally can follow your double bomb stun.
Avoid extended trades before level 3 since Qiyana's element combo unlocks burst.
Keep minion wave away from terrain edges to reduce impact.

Level 2 unlocks your double bomb plus speed combo; pressure early trades.
Level 3 grants for double bombs; punish missed cooldowns or poor positioning.
Level 6 revive forces Qiyana to hesitate on full all-ins, enabling safer fights.
