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 Ziggs

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Walk around his mines

    Walk around Hexplosive Minefield (E): each mine explodes on contact and slows you, which helps him land his other spells.

  2. Engage after his Satchel Charge

    If you can engage, go in right after Satchel Charge (W): it's his only way to get away, on a 20 to 12 second cooldown.

  3. Get out of the center of his bomb

    If Mega Inferno Bomb (R) lands on you, at least get out of the center: the center of the blast deals more damage than the edge.
