Qiyana vs Azir

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Qiyana aims to pressure Azir early and deny his safe farming to delay his scaling.
Control terrain and brush to maximize element advantage and threaten burst trades.

Trading pattern

Prepare the correct element with W, poke with Q, and commit E only when Azir's mobility (Azir E) or R is down.
Punish Azir if he uses E aggressively without a safe exit by engaging with E into burst.
Avoid fighting away from terrain since R's stun and burst rely on terrain proximity.

Danger windows

When Azir's R is available, avoid committing to all-ins near his soldiers or open ground.
If Azir has soldiers well positioned and E ready, he can punish reckless E commits.
Trading without the correct element or away from terrain reduces your threat and increases risk.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to set element and E for quick burst trades before Azir can safely position soldiers.
Avoid extended fights early since Azir's poke and soldier zones punish overcommit.
Maintain brush or river access to leverage stealth and element swaps for surprise engages.

Power spikes

Qiyana level 3 unlocks full Q-W-E burst combo and element control.
Qiyana level 6 with R near terrain creates strong all-in windows.
Respect Azir level 6 Azir R (Azir R) which can disrupt your engage and escape.

Win conditions

Use element swaps and terrain to burst Azir quickly before he can set up soldiers.
Snowball lane priority into river skirmishes and flanks using R's terrain stun.
Deny Azir safe farming and force him to use E defensively, limiting his scaling potential.

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