Although the attack power carrier characters do the same thing in the game in general, they are quite different from each other. Especially, the “Lethality” item arrays made for the characters who play based on their abilities recently can cause a lot of difference in the gameplay of the characters, as they focus on using abilities instead of normal attacks. Although the lethality item array is fun and powerful, we can say that the item arrays based on the normal attack are not inferior either.
Xayah, who has inhabited the lower lane since its release, is among the characters that are loved and have a certain popularity in the League of Legends universe in general, even if it takes place in the meta and sometimes falls out of this meta. Although lethality item builds have become more widespread lately, they are a little more popular than before, but there are also a lot of players who play without breaking the old style. Now that we have given the details, we can now start to examine Xayah’s CTs (Counters), abilities, strengths and weaknesses.
Xayah CTs: Strong counters against Xayah
- Veigar
- Ziggs
- Lucian
- Tristana
- Varus
Xayah can’t evolve very quickly, especially in the lethality build. In this case, it brings the disadvantage at the early stage. Mages with potential to be played in the bottom lane like Ziggs or Veigar can cause problems for Xayah with their range or crowd control. Likewise, Lucian can gain an advantage against Xayah with the high damage he has in the early phase. Of course, although the mentioned situations are valid for the lane phase, characters with crowd control or characters with advantage in terms of range cause a lot of trouble to Xayah.

Rebel child Xayah’s strengths and weaknesses:
Xayah’s strengths:
- Especially Being able to push his corridor very fast with lethality array
- Having a position that can be called immortal for a short time with the return of his ultimate ability
- The damage from his feathers is very unexpected and high
Xayah is a very good character at lane pushing. Especially if your item array is based on lethality, you can clear enemy minions very quickly. His ultimate ability can be a lifesaver in battles. In addition to being able to make a small change of position, the fact that it scatters feathers all over and is untargetable makes this ability very powerful. Also, if he pulls back many hairs in the right position, the potential for damage can be quite unexpected and quite high.
Xayah’s weak stats:
- She needs to take up too many positions for a playstyle for her abilities
- has nothing to keep her alive except for her feathers grounding and ultimate lacking something
- Being vulnerable to crowd control like many attack power carriers
A playstyle for your abilities, it requires quite a bit of positioning despite being strong. Taking a position according to the direction in which the hairs fall can greatly restrict the positions you can take. Another weak trait Xayah has is that she doesn’t have anything to keep her alive except her root and ultimate when she pulls her feathers back. Besides, like many attack power carriers, unfortunately Xayah is a very fragile character against crowd control.
How to play Xayah in LoL?
- Your feathers are very important no matter what build you have
- Feel free to use your ultimate for both offensive and defensive purposes
- Try to fix your opponents with your feathers as much as you can
Regardless of which item lineup you have, you need to use your feathers well. Try to fix your opponents in place as much as you can, especially when pulling your feathers. This is an ability that not only allows you to deal free damage, but also creates space for you to dodge. Although your ult is very useful for defensive purposes, it also allows you to play offensively with the feathers it spreads around. So feel free to use it in any way. As a result, although it’s an ultimate ability, it doesn’t have much value if you die or miss your opponent.
How to play against Xayah, how to beat Xayah?
- The most basic way to play against Xayah is to be mindful of her feathers
- Once Xayah has pulled her feathers, she has no other ability to defend
- Her ultimate will be her ultimate ability to counterattack or defend
The most basic way to play against Xayah is to be mindful of her feathers. You can play comfortably as long as it doesn’t pull its feathers by touching you. But if he touches you with his feathers and manages to fix you on top of it, a lot of free damage will be waiting for you. After pulling his feathers, he doesn’t have any ability to defend other than his ultimate for a while, you need to make good use of this gap. In addition, we can say that his ultimate ability is his final defense. Although the defensive part is valid, it is a fact that he can use his ultimate ability offensively, as he sheds a lot of feathers around. Therefore, after level 6, it is useful to play carefully, especially against his ultimate ability.
