Qiyana combos

Written guide · based on the official ability texts

The basic combo

Q AA AA

When: An enemy is within Audacity range.

Terrashape enchants your weapon, Audacity dashes you onto the target (and triggers the bonus damage from your passive), Elemental Wrath applies the element's effect, then your enchanted attacks finish.

The ultimate against a wall

When: An enemy is near a wall or terrain feature.

Supreme Display of Talent sends a shockwave that explodes when it hits terrain, stunning and damaging nearby enemies. Position the target against the terrain before casting.

The exit

When: You need to get away.

Terrashape dashes you toward an area, then Audacity dashes you onto an enemy or a nearby target to extend your movement.

Common mistakes

Casting the ultimate in the middle of open ground with no terrain nearby: it needs to explode.
Engaging without Terrashape: your attacks do not deal the enchantment's bonus damage.
Spending Audacity with no exit plan: it is your main mobility tool.

Cooldowns, costs and ranges

A combo only comes back once its abilities are off cooldown: these values (rank 1 to max rank, in seconds) tell how long to wait between two combos. Source: Data Dragon 16.19.1.
