Lux vs Qiyana

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Lux is a long-range artillery mage who must maintain distance to control the lane and avoid Qiyana's burst.
Use high lane pressure to deny Qiyana early health and wave control, preventing her from setting up element trades.

Trading pattern

Use E to poke and slow Qiyana, then punish her overextensions with Q root into burst damage.
Respect Qiyana's element choice as it changes her Q function; avoid trading when she has the correct element for burst.
Avoid committing to trades when Qiyana's R is up near terrain, as her all-in threat is highest then.

Danger windows

When Qiyana has terrain access and R available, she can stun and burst; keep distance and W shield ready.
If you miss Q, you are vulnerable to Qiyana's E engage and burst.
Avoid fighting near walls or brush where Qiyana can maximize her terrain-based damage and stealth.

Early game

Poke with E and threaten root with Q to keep Qiyana from safely approaching.
Punish Qiyana if she uses E without lethal threat by landing Q and following up with burst.
Avoid all-ins if you miss Q, as Qiyana can capitalize on your cooldowns.

Power spikes

Level 6 R greatly increases Lux's burst and pick potential.
First completed mage item boosts Lux's damage and lane pressure.
Respect Qiyana's level 3 element setup and level 6 R for burst all-ins.

Win conditions

Control the wave and poke to deny Qiyana health and element setup.
Punish Qiyana's E commits without lethal threat using Q root and burst combo.
Use level 6 R and item spikes to burst Qiyana before she can engage or escape.

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