Xayah ADC Wild Rift Guide | Build and Runes S1

Xayah Wild Rift Guide

Vastayas are magical creatures from the League of Legends universe. These chimeric beings possess many secrets and are not always understood by humans. While humans have a tendency to destroy nature, the Vastayas prefer to live in harmony with it. Among them, we find Xayah the rebel who does not hesitate to get out her claws to convince. To better understand her and avoid getting scratched, devour this Xayah ADC Wild Rift guide. It will teach you all the basics you need to know in order to shine with this champion, who is not lacking in spice and has enormous damage. If you happen to fall in love with this ADC on LoL: Wild Rift, don't shout it out too loud or Rakan will come and have a word with you. 😅

Today's menu will explore the champion's synergies, review his itemisation and fully understand his feather recall.

Recommended build for Xayah ADC: items, runes and skill order

The recommended build for Xayah ADC Wild Rift doesn't really have any curiosities. The champion keeps the profile of a classic ADC which seeks to inflict the most damage possible. So give him in priority of the AD, critical hits and especially of the speed of attack, to draw a maximum of feathers. To keep things balanced, also equip her with items that increase her survivability just a little bit and Xayah will be ready to dominate the battlefield. 😎

A build that will do a lot of damage!

What build for Xayah ADC Wild Rift?

  • Must-have items: Nothing beats a good old-fashioned Infinity Blade which greatly increases your attack and critical damage. Combine it with an Ultrafast Cannon and a Ghost Dancer, which synergise very well with it. Your attacks will thus reach 100% critical chance and will melt the HP of your enemies.
  • Boots: No surprise, like all ADCs, Xayah has to buy the Gluttonous Legs to get sustain. The Quicksilver enchantment and its purge seem to be an unstoppable choice to increase her survivability.
  • Situational items: the safety choice encourages you to equip a Dance of Death (damage reduction and sustain) in addition to a Guardian Angel with its bonus life. The other alternative is to go anti-tank and take down the toughest enemies with a Deadly Recall and a Fallen King's Blade.

Which runes for Xayah ADC Wild Rift?

  • Main Rune: The Conqueror Rune is a very good choice, especially if you play the safety version of Xayah. This itemisation gives her a lot of survivability and time to charge the rune to full power.
  • Secondary Runes: Vastaya can be classified as a hyper-carry champion, and the Threatening Storm rune and its endgame damage fits her like a glove. Secondly, we like to provide her with the slowdown resistance of Spirit Keeper and Hunter-Genius for her skill acceleration.

Which skills should be improved first?

First, you usually take the Twin Dagger spell, but you shouldn't invest all your points in it at the beginning of the game. The skill is useful for fighting, but its effectiveness remains relatively constant regardless of rank. On the other hand, you should upgrade Call of the Blades as a priority, which allows you to inflict a huge burst that can surprise your opponents. Next comes Deadly Plumage and its attack speed bonus and finally Twin Dagger.

How to use Xayah's skills in ADC?

Piercing feathers
Piercing feathers
(passive)
After casting a skill, Xayah's next 3 attacks will pierce all enemies in their path and leave feathers.
Twin daggers
Twin daggers
Xayah throws two daggers consecutively which wound and pierce all enemies in the path. Each dagger leaves a feather behind.
Deadly plumage
Deadly plumage
Xayah receives a big boost in attack speed over a short period of time. When attacking an enemy champion she also gains a speed bonus.
Calling the blades
Calling the blades
The Vastaya calls to mind all the feathers left on the ground which injure the enemies crossed. If at least 3 feathers hit an opponent, the latter is immobilised.
A flurry of feathers
Feather recall
(ultimate)
Xayah leaps into the air and becomes unsociable. At the same time, she throws a wave of feathers in the opposite direction, which injures the enemies. These can then be recalled.

Xayah falls into the hyper-carry category, but she is not unarmed in the lane phase. With Piercing Feathers and Twin Daggers, the rebel Vastaya can easily push her lane and take priority. She can also take advantage of this to wound enemy champions, even if they are hiding behind their minions. In addition, Deadly Plumage offers a big bonus in attack speed which generally allows to take advantageous trades . Xayah can even afford to play aggressively thanks to the movement speed bonus. The latter is ambivalent, it can be used to chase its prey or to quickly retreat afterwards.

Xayah Wild Rift Feather Trajectory
Watch out for trajectories!

But what makes the difference between the very good Xayahs and the others is the management of the feathers and theappeal of the blades. Sow them like a little thumb and place yourself intelligently. The goal is to keep your enemies between you and your feathers. Call of the Blades inflicts a large instantaneous burst and will, in addition, immobilise the unwary.Ultimate feather recall is mainly used defensively to avoid crowd control, but in teamfights, it can also be used offensively. Indeed, the wave of feathers that has been launched is just waiting to be recalled!

With which champion should a good synergy be set up?

Xayah Wild Rift: good synergy with Rakan
The two lovers form a strong duo.

Xayah is paired with the support Rakan. The two lovers synergise very well together and can back at the same time. Those who have read our guide on the Vastaya dancer, will also know that he offers an amplified shield to his mate. Both champions can play very aggressively and easily set up a deadly crowd control rotation. Otherwise, Xayah makes good duos with Lulu or Nami who boost the damage of his basic attacks.

Xayah ADC Wild Rift's counter: who should we watch out for?

Counter Xayah Wild Rift: Braum
The shield of Braum is a worry for Xayah.

Nobody really scares Xayah. However, we advise you to avoid the Braum and Yasuo. Both of them have a wall that partially or totally blocks the feathers of the shooter... Which greatly handicaps her damage potential. Moreover, one should always be wary of Blitzcrank. Your ultimate allows you to dodge a crowd control, but you can't stay in the air forever... So the metal golem can easily anticipate your landing spot with its propelled Grapple. 😭

Advanced tips and tricks for playing Xayah ADC Wild Rift

Before you start Ranked, it's a good idea to know a few more details about Xayah's skills. Calling Blades deals a lot of damage, but it's not always obvious how much damage is accurate. Feathers fly all over the place and disappear quickly. Fortunately, the interface makes life easier. The skill keeps an exact count in real time of the number of feathers that can be recalled. As for Twin Daggers, the skill does not allow you to see through walls, but it does not allow you to see through bushes. There is also no special sound effect if it hits a target, so beware of hidden enemies!

Xayah Wild Rift versus Corbain: feather count
The game keeps you informed of the number of feathers that can be brought back.

Finally, Recall Feathers is a skill that gives you a safety belt. However, its escape potential is not infinite and the jump does not allow you to cross a wall. Your only means of getting over the obstacle will therefore be your one lightning jump.

This is already the end of our Xayah ADC Wild Rift guide. You should now be able to fly on your own to wreak havoc in Ranked 😉
