How to play

General
  1. You start with Guardian's Horn. Your #1 rush should be item that counters enemy team most (MR or Armor item). Get Jak'Sho as #2 item. Then adapt.
  2. Triumph is better overall (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of the Mind.
  3. Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for very long time (or even have it as 6th item).
  4. You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
  5. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
  6. Qiyana has -10% dmg taken (receives only 90%) which gives her a boost when going tank.
  7. This is a more auto-attack oriented version of Tank Qiyana. So remember to do it!
Qiyana Tank specific
  1. Using Green Q (Brush) is a super effective way of going in/out. Just don't attack right away.
