Playing Xayah in League of Legends offers an unice experience characterized by her high mobility, unique feather mechanics, and potent teamfighting abilities. With her agility, lane bullying potential, and synergy with champions like Rakan, Xayah presents players with a high skill ceiling, rewarding those who can master her precise positioning and timing in battles. Xayah provides a dynamic and satisfying gameplay experience for those who enjoy fast-paced, strategic playstyles.

And to be honest, LOOK AT HER IS SO BEAUTIFUL

Pros → Great wave clear → Poke → Nice CC → Untargetable R → Great gameplay → Great combo with Rakan

Cons → Skillshot Reliance → Not a great mobility → Hard to CC when R is on CD → Item Reliance → High Skill Ceiling

STARTING ITEMS

The standard choice to use. Doran's will provide you with anything you'd need for the early game.

Against matchups that has incredibly heavy poke.

FIRST BACK

The best basing scenario is when you can afford which can be used to build into Kraken Slayer

Builds into Kraken Slayer, if your lane went bad.

If you're having a real bad time.

BOOTS

I build these boots in 100% of my games.

CORE ITEMS

Gives Xayah everything she needs, including Attack Damage, Attack Speed, and Critical Strike Chance. the item's effect significantly boosts her damage output.

Enhances the potency of your abilities and amplifies the damage they deal, while also allowing your basic attacks to decrease essential cooldowns. It stands out as one of the top choices for Xayah (if not the top choice).

ITEM POOL

This item suits you well since Xayah thrives on frequent attacks during battles, making good use of the augmented attack speed. It synergizes best with additional sources of attack speed.

Gives you armor penetration and also critical strike chance.

This item provides a significant boost to your survivability, offering increased sustain to endure through the challenges of the game.

The pasive is mega insane and the armour it gives is always great.

This item is great when we can not land E. Later i will explain a bit more!

Now is cheaper and give us a lot of stats ans a great waveclear and fits very well with our pssive

Its a great item vs healing compos like Soraka / Yuumi / Nilah / Samira.

Its great vs a huge AP compo like Seraphine / Brand / Zyra.

A fantastic item that accumulates energy with movement or attacks. Its extended range proves invaluable, especially when facing enemy compositions where maintaining distance during engagements is paramount.

An excellent choice for prioritizing survivability in your build.

This new item is sick for some ADC like Zeri / Kog'Maw. But on Xayah goes also good. After using Featherstorm it let you to have more stats. Consider building this item whn you need that extra HP. This item is situational!

I am gonna tell you the Xayah combos!

Q-->A-->E
This is a fast root.

W-->AA->Q-->AA-->E
Your standard trade is to W then AA Q AA, followed by E to root.

R-->E-->FLASH
Catch enemies out by using R E, then Flashing to root your targets.

R-->FLASH-->E-->W-->AA-->AA
To lock down a kill use your R and Flash towards your target while in the air. E to root them, then W and AA.

R-->E-->W-->AA-->AA-->AA-->Q--AA
You can use your ult for damage by casting R then E W. AA three times, then Q and AA.

W-->Q-->FLASH-->AA-->R-->AA-->E-->AA
Kill a low mobility target quickly. Use W Q and then Flash mid animation, then AA and R. When you land AA E and AA.


As you can see the AA are so core with Xayah, the PASIVE is so huge!

This are all the combos you will need!

In the early game as Xayah focus on farming and harassing your opponents when opportunities arise.

Prioritize last hitting minions. Xayah scales well with items, so farming efficiently is crucial for her success.

Use Xayah's abilities, particularly Double Daggers and Clean Cuts, to harass enemy champions when they position themselves poorly or go in for last hits.

Be mindful of placing feathers strategically with your abilities. Consider positioning them to create zones where enemies will take damage if they try to engage or trade with you.

Keep an eye on the minimap and ward key areas to avoid getting caught out by enemy junglers. Xayah's mobility can help her escape sticky situations, but it's best to avoid them by staying aware of the map.

Communicate with your support to coordinate engages or disengages. Xayah pairs well with supports who can set up plays or provide crowd control, allowing her to follow up with damage.

Understand both your own and your opponent's power spikes. Xayah can be strong at certain levels or after completing key items, but she may also have weaker points in the early game.

While it's essential to harass and pressure your opponents, prioritize your safety and farm. Overextending for kills can leave you vulnerable to ganks or enemy aggression, potentially setting you behind in the early game.

By focusing on farming, harassing when advantageous, and maintaining map awareness, you can navigate the early game effectively and set yourself up for success as the match progresses.

During the mid game your focus shifts towards teamfighting, objective control, and transitioning your lead from the laning phase into a stronger presence on the map.

As mid game begins, start rotating with your team to secure objectives such as dragon, Rift Herald, or towers.

Xayah excels in teamfights during the mid game. Position yourself carefully to maximize the damage output from your abilities and feathers. Look for opportunities to use Featherstorm defensively to avoid enemy engages or offensively to set up plays with your team.

Continue to place feathers strategically to control space and zone out enemies during teamfights.

Be aware of your own and your opponents' power spikes during the mid game. Adjust your playstyle accordingly based on who is ahead and which champions are strong at this stage of the game.

Help your team establish vision control around key objectives to maintain map control and prevent ambushes.

Depending on the state of the game and your team composition, you may need to decide between splitpushing in a side lane or grouping with your team. Consider factors such as your team's wave clear, vision control, and the enemy team's ability to engage when making this decision.

Prioritize objectives such as towers, dragons, and Rift Herald to gain map control and pressure the enemy team.


By focusing on teamfighting, objective control, and maintaining vision, you can effectively navigate the mid game and set yourself and your team up for success in the late game.

In teamfights your goal is to deal consistent damage while utilizing her mobility and feather mechanics to outmaneuver opponents.

Position yourself carefully at the backline of your team, behind your frontline tanks and bruisers. Stay within range to deal damage with your basic attacks and abilities while remaining safe from enemy threats.

Timing Featherstorm is crucial in teamfights. Use it defensively to negate enemy crowd control effects and protect yourself from burst damage, or offensively to reposition and deal damage while being immune to crowd control.

Prioritize targeting squishy or high-priority targets such as enemy carries or mages if they're within range. Your consistent damage output can quickly shred through enemy health bars and turn the tide of teamfights.

Utilize Xayah's mobility to kite and maneuver around the battlefield. Constantly reposition yourself to stay out of harm's way while maintaining optimal damage output. Use [[Bladecaller] to pull back feathers and damage enemies chasing you or your teammates.

Communicate with your team during teamfights, especially if you need assistance or peel from your frontline. Coordinate engages, disengages, and target focus to maximize your team's effectiveness in teamfights.

Keep track of enemy cooldowns, summoner spells, and potential threats during teamfights. Be ready to react quickly to incoming enemy engages or flanks to avoid being caught off guard.


By mastering positioning, feather mechanics, and ability usage, you can become a formidables Xayah, capable of turning the tide of battles and securing victory for your team.
