How to play it
DO
Respect her stealth
She's constantly slipping in and out of invis with Terrashape — she picks the fight and you can't win it alone, so don't make any attempt to solo her.
Only fight grouped
Look for kills only when your jungler or team is there — solo you lose, but with help you can catch her out.
Cap your shields
Build no more than one shield item — she's picking up Serpent's Fang, which hard-counters shields.
DON'T
Never try to solo Qiyana — her constant invisibility means she starts the fight on her terms and you lose it.
