League of Legends Reveals Qiyana: Empress of the Elements
By Wyatt Fossett ·
The latest champion, Qiyana: Empress of the Elements, revealed by Riot Games in a teaser trailer and full reveal.
The players of League of Legends have only just this week been given a chance to try the newest released champion for free in Yuumi. Today -- after a small tease yesterday -- Riot Games and League of Legends have officially revealed Qiyana: Empress of the Elements.
Qiyana has an amazing style and a rather unique weapon that resembles a hula-hoop of sorts. The move-set shown off in the official reveal trailer shows off a mighty assassin prowess, and in the games, current state an assassin can play numerous lanes.
The hoop that Qiyana wields seems to be able to switch between the elements that she can control. There are three highlighted, and three gems on the hoop. A green/earth gem, red/fire gem, and a blue/ice gem.
Whether or not the active element is going to be something that players will be able to control or not is not yet known.
Picking apart the reveal trailer, it looks like Qiyana has a pretty similar if not Identical move-set regardless of the active element. There are some stealth moves, some engage and disengage moves, and what looks like an ultimate that allows her to pass through solid walls (gif above).
It seems that Riot and League of Legends are pushing out the Qiyana info pretty quickly, and surprisingly close to their latest champion addition. Perhaps it’s finally time for Riot Games to live up to their promise of releasing more new champs, updates old champs, and focusing on balance tweaks.
We will continue to update you all as more information about Qiyana: Empress of the Elements comes to light.
