Full crit damage that cuts through bulky front lines

  • Bloodthirster
  • Magnetic Blaster
  • Lord Dominik's Regards
  • Infinity Edge
  • Maw of Malmortius
  • Gunmetal Greaves

When the enemy front line stacks bonus HP and magic damage is in the mix

Attack Damage lands at +235, Critical Rate at +100%, and Attack Speed at +75%. Infinity Edge's Infinity pushes Critical Strikes to 205% damage instead of 175%. Lord Dominik's Regards carries 36% Armor Penetration, and it adds up to 12% bonus damage against an enemy champion sitting at 1,200 bonus HP. Maw of Malmortius covers the magic side with 45 Magic Resistance and a 220-530 magic shield that lasts 3s when magic damage would drop you below 35% HP (70s cooldown).

Xayah Strengths

  • Strong self-peel with Ult (Featherstorm)
  • AoE damage and root from Bladecaller
  • Fast damage on towers and epic monsters

Xayah Weaknesses

  • ×Short auto-attack range, vulnerable to poke
  • ×Low base mobility; escape depends on Ult
  • ×Damage and CC depend on feather placement; positioning matters

Early Game

Early on, poke through minions with the piercing feathers from your Passive and farm safely. Skill 3's root needs enough feathers in the right place, so keep track of where your feathers land during trades.

Mid Game

Once your AD items come online, join objective fights together with your support. Keep Ult in reserve to dodge fatal CC or an assassin's dive, and avoid spending it first for damage.

Late Game

Your damage grows a lot late, but positioning decides the outcome. Stay behind your team and scatter feathers with auto-attacks. Root anyone who walks in with Skill 3 and take them down one at a time.

Teamfights

In teamfights, staying alive until the end comes first. Dodge the enemy engage with Ult, then root several targets with Skill 3 right after. Landing that counter can swing the whole fight.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Wasting Ult for damage

Xayah's Ult (Featherstorm) is your defensive tool against assassins and burst. Using it early for damage or a forced engage leaves you an easy target for the rest of the fight. From level 5, keep Ult to dodge fatal CC. Fight by kiting and setting up Skill 3 roots instead.

Xayah Combos

Lay three feathers with Skill 1 and autos, then recall them with Skill 3 to root.

Xayah Patch History

Xayah
XayahPatch 7.0d
Buff
Featherstorm [New] The ability can now be cast with a tap even when there are no targets nearby. With auto-aim, Featherstorm was unreliable whenever no attackable target stood close by, which made it awkward as a way to dodge incoming ranged attacks. It can now be tapped regardless of whether a target is present, so it comes out the instant Xayah sees something aimed at her. That applies just as much while retreating or moving alone as it does mid-fight, so the cast finally matches the moment the player decided on it.
