How to play Qiyana in ARAM Mayhem

Qiyana is a below-average pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier C, #155 of 173 champions, with a 46.2% win rate over 835,671 games. Riot rates it 8/10 for difficulty, so give it a few games before you judge it.

83% of Qiyana's damage to champions is physical, so enemy armor is what slows it down.

Most Qiyana players go Lethality (81% of games), but the Bruiser path, bruiser items that mix damage and health, is ARAMKit's top-ranked build: Hubris, Death's Dance and Lord Dominik's Regards, with a 56.7% win rate. On this build 52% of players skip boots and spend the slot on another item.

The cards that do best on Qiyana are Blue Barrier, Overloaded and Back To Basics. Cards built around ability haste fill most of the top of its list, followed by movement speed. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Cruelty and Poltergeist when you can: they do worst on Qiyana. A pair to look for: Overloaded with Blue Barrier.

Take Flash and Mark (95% of players). Max Q (Elemental Wrath / Edge of Ixtal) first, then W, then E.
