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 Vayne

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't fight with your back to a wall

    Don't stand with your back to a wall against her: Condemn (E) knocks you back, and if you hit terrain, you're stunned.

  2. Short, repeated trades

    Take short, repeated trades: she's fragile, and on the third consecutive hit on you, Silver Bolts (W) adds true damage based on your max health.

  3. Don't feed her kills during her ult

    During Final Hour (R), back off rather than risk your life: each champion she kills after damaging them extends the effect.
