Play to these strengths

Quinn is a main damage source (77/100): stay alive and in range for the whole fight rather than diving first.
Quinn wins 5.8 points more in long games than short ones: avoid coin-flip fights early and let the game go long.

Playing Quinn

Attacking a
Vulnerable
target marked by Valor will put Harrier on cooldown. Quickly consuming Harrier marks will allow you to generate them faster.
Vault is powerful but must be used with caution, as enemies can attack Quinn when she strikes them. Vault can sometimes be used to cross terrain if your back is to a wall.
Use Behind Enemy Lines for traveling very long distances quickly, for farming minions around the map, or for chasing wounded targets.

Playing Against Quinn

After being marked, move away from Quinn so she can't take advantage of it.
Keep tabs on Quinn's position. Behind Enemy Lines can enable Valor to cross the map very quickly and attack you by surprise.
When Quinn is using Behind Enemy Lines, damaging her removes her Move Speed bonus temporarily.
