- Queen of Pain's combinations must be executed with extreme speed to be successful, as her two main damaging skills are area-of-effect and consequently can be avoided with a quick reaction. A typical combo is to Blink, Scream of Pain, Shadow Strike, and if necessary, Sonic Wave to finish the job. If the enemy flees however, you can kill them simply by blinking ahead of them and continuing to use Scream of Pain.
- Note however that because her two main damaging spells are area-of-effect, they should be positioned to affect as many enemies as possible. For this reason, it is best to save Sonic Wave until such time as you can hit multiple enemy heroes with it.
- Faceless Void's Chronosphere and Enigma's Black Hole work extremely well for setting up a Sonic Wave for maximum targets.
- QoP is superb at chasing her prey, but is very delicate and is often in more danger from enemy towers than enemy heroes. Gearing for HP regeneration may be advisable, as in a critical situation you can Blink to an inaccessible place and wait to recuperate. Bottle will also help with this.
- If being chased (a common situation for QoP), an often-useful tactic is to blink behind the enemies pursuing you. They will typically assume you blinked ahead and continue on in that direction, allowing for an escape.
- In a late-game encounter, QoP is best used by hiding until such time as the enemies' more powerful spells are on cooldown, allowing her to Blink in and inflict huge damage on multiple enemies owing to her AoE capabilities without putting her at risk of being killed by powerful spells.
- A more cautious strategy is to run in without using Blink, saving it for a potential escape. This may be necessary against high-damage enemy heroes, as QoP is very frail and in encounters should try to avoid being attacked at all.
- Similarly to Lina, QoP has very high burst damage capabilities, but is delicate and not suited to long encounters because of her spells' high mana costs. This can be remedied with items such as Bloodstone and Linken's Sphere, as well as scepter to reduce Sonic Wave's cooldown.
- Be aware that Rupture will be calculated against the distance traversed should you Blink when they are applied to you.
