Tips For Playing Against Xayah
- Xayah’s pretty squishy, bursting her down to a recall should be easy. Her E has a long cooldown and can stun if 3 feathers connect. Stay behind/to the side of her feathers and wait for her to use it, then go in for the attack.
- When she casts her ultimate, she becomes invulnerable for the time being so don’t waste your abilities on her. After that, she becomes more vulnerable.
- Xayah’s Bladecaller will only root targets hit by 3 or more returning Feathers.
- Long fights in the same area with Xayah will allow her to drop a lot of Feathers. Try to stay on the move!
- Make sure you are ready when you go for the kill. Untargetability from Featherstorm can quickly turn an ambush in Xayah’s favor.
