Playing as Xayah

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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).

Playing against Aurelion Sol

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Breath of Light (Q) hits the first enemy in its path, and only the seconds spent on a champion give him Stardust.

  2. Play hard early

    Play hard early and don't let the game drag on: with Cosmic Creator (passive), each of Aurelion Sol's abilities grows permanently stronger through Stardust.

  3. Get out of the black hole fast

    Leave Singularity (E) quickly: it pulls you toward its center, where it executes enemies below a health threshold, and each second inside gives him Stardust.
