This is a guide made for the Xayah Mains Discord. It is NOT an intro guide, meaning it will not go over basic abilities. This is a guide on how to upgrade your Xayah game to the next level.

My name is Blizz, and I'm one of the best Xayah's NA. My exact rank is hard to pin down (fluctuation, different websites have different stats, etc), but I am a Challenger adc who plays a LOT of Xayah. You can follow my twitch.tv to watch me play live.

Always subject to change, I will update as I can/when I remember, but basically, Xayah needs crit. Everything else is based on the meta.

The build order is the common, safe path. For the zeal/lifesteal items, I listed them in order of usefulness on Xayah. They are all useful in different situations, but one is usually most common.

With the nerfs in 7.12 and the buffs in 7.13, Xayah can no longer auto while Q'ing, but her buffer time to auto after Q is reduced with attack speed. Early game, the fastest way to land your fast snare is to w > auto > cancel auto with q > e while q'ing. As the game progresses, however, your Q becomes similar to before any nerfs and in fact is faster, so q > auto > e while auto'ing becomes the fastest way yet again.
