Champion Build Guide
Introduction
Hello! And welcome to my Xayah ADC S11 guide. In case you were wondering why you should listen to my guide, I'm a platinum ADC/Support main who has been playing since S5. I don't usually make guides for champions, but I felt like I could contribute a few interesting playstyle variations to one of my favorite ADC's. Hopefully you enjoy the read and can find success with this build.
Pros and Cons
PROS - Lots of burst - Self peel - Excellent kiting - Amazing follow up - Good waveclear |
CONS - Short AA range - Very squishy - Long ultimate CD - Low mobility |
Combos
Q-AA-E
This is the fastest root combo and packs a surprising amount of burst! This is and excellent weapon against low health unsuspecting foes.
Q-E
This is my last resort to try and snag a very low health adversary just out of AA range.
W-AA-Q-AA-AA-AA(-AA*)-E
This is your maximum damage combo. You should always use this when an enemy is locked in place by a teammate. Most of the time you can squeeze in 4 auto-attacks, but sometimes you will not be able to before the enemy breaks free from the CC, in which case you should use
Bladecaller after 3 autos for the root. This combo really depends on your attack speed at the time.
W-AA-AA-AA(-Q*)-E
This is one of the most common combo you will utilize. This combo is the kiting combo. Use your
Deadly Plumage for the extra MS and weave in auto attacks while backing up. If the enemy gets greedy and keeps stays in range you can Add the extra 2 feathers from
Double Daggers to deal massive damage. I would add that this combo is an important part of playing Xayah and why she is so hard to play. It is important to fully utilize this combo to maximize the champion's strong kitting ability.
