Trading Patterns

All-in

Bait or wait for your support to CC her. Use to slow her down, then channel once she has no way to become untargetable.

Respect

•
Root — If you get rooted, she will follow up with and out-DPS you easily.
•
Untargetability — It completely cancels your and leaves you stationary for her to counter-attack.
•
Feather Clusters — Stepping into a pile of feathers means an instant root and huge burst damage.
•
Active — She gains movement speed and extra damage; you cannot win a pure auto-attack fight against this.

Punish

•
is on cooldown — Aggressively trade with and autos since she cannot root you back.
•
She is low on Mana — Xayah is mana-hungry; if she can't cast , she can't easily set up feathers for .
•
is down — Force an all-in with . She is extremely vulnerable without her ultimate.
•
Feathers are far away — If she moves away from her feather stacks, you can safely trade without fear of the pull-back.

Wave Management

Early

Let her push slightly so you can use bounces more effectively as she walks up to last hit.

Post-6

Keep the wave near the middle. You need space to run her down if she wastes , but you don't want to be under her tower where it's hard to land .
