How to play Xayah in Patch 26.20, built from ranked games: power spikes, the lane plan, how leads convert, and the habits that separate Xayah wins from losses.
Xayah Mid and Late Game
What Xayah does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.
Play to these strengths
- Xayah farms well (percentile 96): keep catching side waves between fights.
- Side-lane pressure pays: Xayah rates 82/100 for damage to buildings. Push a side wave while the team holds mid.
- Xayah is a main damage source (80/100): stay alive and in range for the whole fight rather than diving first.
Mistakes to avoid
- Vision is a weak spot (16/100): buy Control Wards and sweep before you face-check.
Playing Xayah
- 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 Xayah
- Xayah's Bladecaller will only root targets hit by 3 or more returning Feathers.
- Long fights in the same area with Xayah will allow her to drop a lot of Feathers. Try to stay on the move!
- Make sure you are ready when you go for the kill. Untargetability from Featherstorm can quickly turn an ambush in Xayah's favor.
