Guide to Synergizing Zilean and Qiyana

Tips for Playing as Zilean with Qiyana

Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.

Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.

You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.

How to Play with Qiyana as Zilean in LoL

Overall, Zilean sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Qiyana. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

When Zilean tries to synergize with Qiyana, he observes a barely noticable drop in his complete damage dealt. This difference could demonstrate that Qiyana does not support by providing cover for him to dish out more damage or that her presence also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Zilean is played alongside Qiyana on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Qiyana. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Qiyana.

Moreover, when Zilean plays with Qiyana on the same team, he typically takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Receiving not as much damage may mean that Qiyana does a decent job of protecting Zilean during team fights.
