Learn how to Xayah counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Position to the sides or behind Xayah rather than directly in front of her feathers — her E (Bladecaller) can only deal damage and root you if you're in the feathers' return path.
Basic Lane Phase Team Fight
Look to engage Xayah when her E (Bladecaller) is on cooldown — this 8-12 second window removes her root capability and significant burst damage potential.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Force team fights when Xayah's R (Featherstorm) is on cooldown — this long-cooldown ability (100-140 seconds) provides her with 1.5 seconds of untargetability and is her primary escape tool.
Team Fight
Xayah needs to hit you with at least 3 feathers from her E (Bladecaller) to root you for 1.25 seconds.
Basic Lane Phase Team Fight
Avoid extended trades when Xayah activates her W (Deadly Plumage) — it grants her attack speed, bonus damage from additional feathers, and movement speed when hitting champions.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Approach Xayah from multiple angles in team fights — her feather setup is directional, making it difficult for her to kite effectively when flanked.
Advanced Team Fight Late Game
Pressure Xayah in the early game with short trades and poke — she's more vulnerable before getting her core items and has limited feather setup potential early on.
Lane Phase
When Xayah leaps into the air and becomes untargetable, she'll fire 5 feathers after 1 second — move perpendicular to her facing direction to avoid both the feathers and potential follow-up E.
Team Fight Skirmish
Xayah's feathers remain on the ground for 6 seconds before disappearing, limiting her window to use E (Bladecaller) for damage and crowd control.
Lane Phase Team Fight
Xayah's E (Bladecaller) deals reduced damage for each feather beyond the first hit, making her burst less devastating than it appears when hit by multiple feathers.
