Playing as Draven

Tips to maximize your impact

Catch every axe
Catch every Spinning Axe (Q): you ready another one immediately, and you can hold two at once.
Recast W on each axe
Recast Blood Rush (W) with each axe you catch: each catch resets its cooldown, and the spell gives you move speed and attack speed.
Cash in your Adoration
Go for the kill when your League of Draven (passive) stacks are high: killing a champion gives you bonus gold based on your Adoration.
Knock back whoever engages you
Save Stand Aside (E) to push back whoever engages you: the axes knock them aside and slow them.

Playing against Xayah

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Stay out of her feathers' path
Don't stand between Xayah and her feathers on the ground: Bladecaller (E) pulls them back to her, and 3 feathers passing through you root you.
Engage when the ground is clear
If you can engage, go in when she has no feathers on the ground: without them, Bladecaller (E) can't root you.
Wait for her to land
During Featherstorm (R), hold your spells: she's untargetable for 1.5 seconds, then lands, leaving a line of feathers.
