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).
Playing against Miss Fortune
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Don't stand behind low minions
Don't stay behind a low-health minion: if Double Up (Q) kills it, the bounce that hits you always crits.
- Cut her speed with a small hit
Hit her regularly, even with a small hit: Strut (W) only grants her passive move speed after a few seconds without taking damage.
- Go in if you can
If you can engage, get on top of her: Miss Fortune has no dash or leap, only the speed from Strut (W).
- Interrupt her Bullet Time
If you have CC, save it for Bullet Time (R): she channels in place, and interrupting her cancels the remaining waves.
