Summoner Spells

These are the summoner spells most typically taken by Quinn in this role. Naturally, this may change depending on match-ups.

Gameplay

Your job as Quinn is almost as a second jungler, roaming all over the map with her excellent mobility post-6. A speed-based marksman, you'll need to farm and damage enemies quickly. 

• Level 1 - Take E - Vault, for a gap closer and debuff.
• Level 2 - Take Q - Blinding Assault, to blind enemies and initiate trades.
• First Back - Aim for your boots, so you have the attack speed bonus.

Tips & Tricks

• The backwards component of Vault can take you through a wall if you're positioned correctly and the enemy is close enough.
• If an enemy is marked by Quinn's passive, Harrier, attack it with an auto before using Vault to reapply Vulnerable status. 
• It goes without saying, but you should use Behind Enemy Lines any time you want to move around the map. 
• Never facecheck bushes blind - use Heightened Senses as you approach.
