Xayah lore:

Deadly and precise, Xayah is a vastayan revolutionary waging a personal war to save her people. She uses her speed, guile, and razor-sharp feather blades to cut down anyone who stands in her way. Xayah fights alongside her partner and lover, Rakan, to protect their dwindling tribe, and restore their race to her vision of its former glory.

Xayah tips:

  • Xayah's attacks and abilities leave Feathers on the ground that she can later recall for massive area damage and control.
  • Xayah can use Featherstorm to dodge almost any ability while also creating a ton of Feathers. Try to utilize the offensive and defensive aspects of this ability.

Playing Against Xayah

  • Xayah's Bladecaller will only root targets hit by 3 or more returning Feathers.
  • Long fights in the same area with Xayah will allow her to drop a lot of Feathers. Try to stay on the move!
  • Make sure you are ready when you go for the kill. Untargetability from Featherstorm can quickly turn an ambush in Xayah's favor.
