Xayah Bot guide

Xayah plays adc around Feathers: Double Daggers (Q) and empowered autos from Clean Cuts (passive) seed them on the ground, and Bladecaller (E) calls them all back to root and damage every enemy they pass through.

The build

Rune page: Lethal Tempo, Presence of Mind, Legend: Bloodline, and Coup de Grace (Precision), with Magical Footwear and Biscuit Delivery (Inspiration). Summoners: Flash and Barrier. Skill order opens Double Daggers (Q) at level 1, then maxes Bladecaller (E) first with Deadly Plumage (W) second. Starter: Doran's Bow and two Health Potions, into Berserker's Greaves. Core build: Essence Reaver, Navori Flickerblade, and Infinity Edge, with Lord Dominik's Regards, Yun Tal Wildarrows, and B. F. Sword as later options.

Ability mechanics

Clean Cuts (passive) turns Xayah's next basic attacks after any ability into hits that strike every target along their path and drop a Feather. Double Daggers (Q) throws two damaging daggers that also drop Feathers she can recall. Deadly Plumage (W) creates a storm of blades that adds Attack Speed and damage, plus Move Speed once she attacks a champion. Bladecaller (E) calls back every dropped Feather, dealing damage and rooting enemies it passes through, and Featherstorm (R) leaps her into the air untargetable while throwing a fan of daggers and dropping more Feathers to recall.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Ashe, Jinx, Jhin, Lucian, Tristana. Best matchups: Kai'Sa, Ezreal, Caitlyn.
