How to play against Xayah

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

1. Trade from angles that do not line up with returning feathers, then step aside after she uses E.
2. Punish her before W gives sustained damage, especially when the wave is not stacked for her.
3. Avoid chasing through narrow corridors where her feathers are already placed.
4. Force R defensively before objectives, then re-engage while she lacks her self-peel.
5. Hold burst and crowd control until after R unless you can lock her before she casts it.

Where Xayah is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

• Xayah's strongest damage depends on feather lines, so angled pressure makes her choose between kiting and rooting.
• Xayah has limited forward mobility, making her much easier to collapse on once her safety tool is forced.
