Except for rare builds, Xayah deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Smolder deals mainly physical damage (72.95%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
An important advantage of Xayah is higher farming statistics (ranked 4th among role champions) (versus 14th for Smolder), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Xayah player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Smolder player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
