Qiyana Jungle guide

Qiyana jungle is a terrain-triggered skirmisher built around Elemental Wrath / Edge of Ixtal (Q), Terrashape (W), and Supreme Display of Talent (R): dash onto terrain with Terrashape to enchant her weapon with an element, land the enchanted Q for its bonus effect, then detonate the elements on a target with Supreme Display of Talent for a stun.

The build

Rune page: First Strike, Magical Footwear, Triple Tonic, and Cosmic Insight (Inspiration), with Ultimate Hunter and Sudden Impact (Domination). Summoners: Flash and Smite. Skill order opens Q, W, E across the first three levels, then maxes Q first with W second. Starter: Gustwalker Hatchling and a Health Potion, into Ionian Boots of Lucidity. Core build: Profane Hydra, Voltaic Cyclosword, and Serylda's Grudge, with Axiom Arc, Edge of Night, and Hubris as later options.

Ability mechanics

Terrashape (W) dashes Qiyana to a location and enchants her weapon with an element from that terrain, adding bonus damage to her attacks and abilities while enchanted. Elemental Wrath / Edge of Ixtal (Q) deals damage with a bonus effect that changes based on her active element. Royal Privilege (passive) adds bonus damage to her first basic attack or ability against each enemy, and Supreme Display of Talent (R) sends a shockwave that detonates her active elements, stunning and damaging nearby enemies.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Sylas, Kayn, Jarvan IV, Talon, Graves. Best matchups: Viego, Naafiri, Lee Sin.
