Skill Order (Lv 1 - 15)

Ult

Max Skill 3 first as your main damage skill to maximize burst damage.

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

Xayah 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.

Xayah 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.

Xayah 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.

Xayah 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

Snare Combo

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

Defend & Turn Combo

Go untargetable with Ult while scattering feathers, then root with Skill 3 and turn the fight.

Our take

Bladecaller now scales with Critical Rate and Critical Damage. Its base damage rises by 10 while the bonus AD ratio falls from 90% to 50%, so it needs crit to reach its old totals.

Deadly Plumage gives up 5 points of Attack Speed and gains 5 on the feather damage, with Movement Speed flattened to 30% at every rank.

Xayah

Patch 7.0d

Buff

Featherstorm

NewThe 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.
