Feathers (passive) stay on the ground — E (Bladecaller) recalls all feathers and roots enemies they pass through.
The combo is W (Deadly Plumage) then autos (leaving feathers) then Q (throws 2 feathers) then E to recall and root.
R (Featherstorm) makes you untargetable and throws feathers — use it to dodge burst and set up an E root.
The synergy with Rakan is strong: the duo bot lane is formidable thanks to CC + damage combos.

Playing against Xayah
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Watch for feathers on the ground: if she E's, they come back and root on the way through.
Her R makes her untargetable: don't waste your spells on her, wait until she comes back down.
Position to the side, not behind the feathers: the E roots in a straight line.
Engage when she has no feathers on the ground: without feathers, no E root.
