Qhira Build Guide “This is my domain!”

Qhira is a melee Assassin who combines strong mobility, speed, and damage to relentlessly chase down her prey. Her most useful tool to do exactly that proves to be her Trait Grappling Hook, which comes with a hefty cooldown, however, it turns out to be an extraordinarily impactful gap-closer and escape mechanism. Most of Qhira's damage derives from a stackable Bleeding effect that gets applied whenever she damages enemy Heroes with both Basic Attacks and any of her abilities and can be amplified by activating Blood Rage in a timely manner.

Strengths

• Great mobility
• Strong damage-over-time
• Hard to read for enemies
• Good Solo Laner

Weaknesses

• Susceptible to enemy Stuns and Silences
• Dependent on terrain
• Steep learning curve

The Heavy Bleeding Build focuses on Qhira's outstanding sustained damage potential. Her main goal should always be to spread the ticking bleeding damage onto several enemies at the same time.

At Level 1, Fatal Wounds will greatly enhance her damage and sustain when complete, while Maximum Effort will be excellent against a low mobility team. At Level 4, Qhira can decide depending on the situation she finds herself in. We usually recommend picking Upstage, but when you are against Heroes with fast Basic Attacks, like Tracer, Your Pain, My Gain is a good alternative.

Maximum Effort is the core Talent for Carnage Build, it will double Carnage's damage while also adding an excellent slow that can be used to set up a Revolving Sweep.

This build is excellent against Melee Compositions. The Thirst combined with Maximum Effort can make Qhira very resilient if she is able to hit Carnage. However, since it is harder to hit Carnage against ranged Heroes, it is better to use the Heavy Bleeding Build against Ranged Compositions.

The Basic Attack Build, as the name suggests, focuses on Qhira's Basic Attacks. This build is mostly focused on Qhira's dueling potential because it is not as effective as the other builds in teamfights. However, the extra damage from Finishing Touch and the healing from Siphoning Link are very oppressive in a duel. This build is better in Braxis Holdout and Dragon Shire, because controlling the objective in the solo lane is essential on those maps.

Qhira synergizes with

Qhira pairs very well with Healers that excel at supporting individual targets by empowering their damage or granting them large amounts of protection. Furthermore, Tanks with strong crowd control make it easier for her to reliably land her skillshots.

Qhira is countered by

There are very few "hard" counters to Qhira. Her kit is solid and her abilities do not get countered by Blinds. Her mobility allows her to play offensively or defensively. Yet, there are certain Heroes that make Qhira's life a bit harder than others—Heavy crowd control Tanks and Bruisers can keep Qhira at distance, and Heroes that enhance their allies' mobility, such as Lucio, make it harder for Qhira to land her important skillshots.

Qhira excels at holding a Solo Lane and, later on, hitting enemy Heroes from an unexpected angle while flanking. Thus, Maps with lots of openings, such as Dragon Shire or Tomb of the Spider Queen are well suited for her while she is often predictable on enclosed Maps such as Towers of Doom.

• Grappling Hook pierces through Minions and Mercenaries, which allows Qhira to hit her target from many different angles.
• Grappling Hook can be used on enemy Heroes or terrain while Qhira is spinning with Revolving Sweep, granting her an astounding amount of mobility.
• While spinning, Revolving Sweep grants Qhira protection against crowd control effects.
• Blood Rage gets most value if activated after spreading Bleeding stacks on several enemy Heroes. Use it frequently to heal during the laning phase to prevent downtimes.

Qhira is usually played as a ganker and Solo Laner. While laning, her outstanding damage-over-time and self-sustain, most deriving from Blood Rage, allows her to soak experience and pressure her opponents. As long as Grappling Hook is available, she is very safe against enemy ganks and engages by simply using it against terrain and dashing to safety.

During team fights, Qhira is most effective when fulfilling the role of an initiator or a flanker. To do this successfully and with impact, she should look for enemies and engage them from an unexpected angle, rather than just charging at them head on.
