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 Kai'Sa

  • Kai'Sa is very good at picking off isolated enemies. Stick together against her.
  • Kai'Sa is very vulnerable to getting outranged by mages and long range carries.
  • Make sure to place wards in your blind spots so you can see Kai'Sa coming.
