Xayah Tips and Tricks

Keep a constant eye on where your Feathers have been placed. If the enemy walks in front of them, snare them with your E. Always keep enough mana to use your R in case you need a quick escape from a trade. Avoid running low on mana as you’ll be defenseless. Xayah is a weak early game champion. Avoid letting the enemy play aggressively and harass you with auto-attacks.

Depending on your game context, matchup, and enemy champions, you may want to adjust your items or runes. Consider your team's composition, the enemy team, and the game state when planning your Xayah build.
