Tips to maximize your impact

Collect every soul
Attack the souls held by the Mist whenever you can: each soul freed with Absolution (passive) increases your AD, attack range and crit chance.
One beam to heal and damage
Fire Piercing Darkness (Q) through an ally or an enemy to hit both: the beam heals your allies, and damages and slows enemies in the line.
Last Embrace on a slowed target
Cast Last Embrace (W) on a target that's already slowed or immobilized: after a short delay, they and nearby enemies are rooted.
Hide your team in the Mist
Cast Curse of the Black Mist (E) to engage or escape with your team: allies who enter it are camouflaged, then fast and unselectable.
Save an ally across the map
Cast Dawning Shadow (R) to save an ally across the map: the beam has unlimited range and shields allies.

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.
