Conqueror
Take Conqueror almost every game, without it you wont have any solo kill pressure. Allows you to win a lot more level 1s especially with Ignite advantage, and because Qiyana as well as toplane are so snowbally its really good to get early kills on her. Prolonging fights with GRASS Edge of Ixtal lets you stack conqueror, and early game conqueror autos will do more damage than electrocute or first strike.
First Strike
Take First Strike when you don't think you will be able to get solokills, such as in malphite, rammus or tank lanes in general. This allows you to scale into the late game and get a gold advantage on the enemy team without getting kills. You can also take Resolve secondary for Demolish when taking First Strike to get early platings and get a big gold lead.
Hubris
Build Hubris when youre snowballing early, especially into an easier matchup. This will allow you to stack lethality for late game power. Hubris on Qiyana is similar to building Dark Seal on Gwen when you're ahead in lane, it allows you to create a larger lead in your own lane as well as late game.
Edge of Night
Build Edge of Night when the enemy team has a lot of burst and 1 shot power, as well as good opening cc such as Charm which could lose a fight if you're hit by it. The cheap lethality on this item also lets you burst targets quicker in fights.
Spear of Shojin
Build Spear of Shojin when you are unable to build Ionian Boots of Lucidity if the enemy team has extremely high AD or AP, or when you feel you are getting 1 shot by the enemy team. Spear of Shojin is good on Qiyana because of its passive as well as the cooldown reduction and health it provides her.
Maw of Malmortius
Build Maw of Malmortius when the enemy team has high magic damage or when you feel that the shield from Eclipse isn't enough. The shield and magic resist from Maw of Malmortius works well with Qiyana because it allows you to play more agressive with reduced risk of being one shot.
don't give up!
Qiyana top takes time and knowledge of matchups to start winning lanes. On Qiyana toplane you'll get stomped many many times, but every game you play is an opportunity to put yourself in a new situation and learn. Just keep playing, and eventually you will improve.
auto attack, auto attack, auto attack
Especially when playing Conqueror on Qiyana, it's important that you auto attack rather than just throwing out spells. Because of Royal Privilege and Terrashape, your autos deal extra damage to enemies. This, combined with Conqueror means that your auto attacks deal a lot of damage, and you need to make sure you're autoattacking during all-ins to get the most damage.
trading tips
Because Qiyana is relatively weak against bruisers, in the laning phase you will need to get a health advantage on the enemy if you want to get a solo kill. The easiest way to do this is poking enemies with the Q+W+Q Combo. This allows you to trade with the enemy laner without getting too close and losing the trade.
grass q
Qiyana's GRASS Edge of Ixtal is OVERPOWERED. It basically gives you perma invisiblity, which allows you to extend fights to stack Conqueror, stall for your jungler to arrive and help you, and let you disengage safely when the enemy tries to all in you. When playing Qiyana top, i almost exclusively take GRASS Edge of Ixtal in lane because there really isn't much counterplay for perma invisiblity unless the enemy has AOE damage (or a spell like Ethereal Chains).
