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 Ezreal

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Mystic Shot (Q) hits the first enemy, and each time it hits you, all his cooldowns go down.

  2. All-in after his E

    Go all-in when he has used Arcane Shift (E) to move forward: it's his only escape, on a 26 to 14 second cooldown.

  3. Fight head-on

    Look for head-on teamfights, behind your frontline: Mystic Shot (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, and Essence Flux (W) on the first champion.

  4. Beware his R at low health

    At low health, beware of Trueshot Barrage (R) even far from him: the shot crosses the whole map and hits every unit in its line.
