Playing as Xayah

Tips to maximize your impact

A spell, then autos for feathers
Cast a spell before your autos: with Clean Cuts (passive), they pass through every target in their path and each leave a feather to call back.
Deadly Plumage before the trade
Activate Deadly Plumage (W) before a trade: you gain attack speed, each auto fires a second blade, and hitting a champion makes you faster.
Pull your feathers through your target
Position yourself so that Bladecaller (E) pulls your feathers back through your target: at least 3 feathers have to hit them to root them.
Dodge with your ult, then call back
Cast Featherstorm (R) to dodge a decisive spell: you're untargetable for 1.5 seconds, then you leave a line of feathers to call back with Bladecaller (E).

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.
