Helia Xayah Build

1. You rush Echoes of Helia.
2. You play aggressively, dealing damage to get Echoes of Helia stacks and spend them as soon as you can.
3. More damage means more Helia procs, which means more healing. Raw damage items outperform heal and shield power support items.

1. Enemies will not check your items right away, so you are gonna be focused in fights. You can use it for your advantage - for example to draw assassins from your actual carries.
2. Throw your feathers Clean Cuts (Passive) on the ground and stay behind or nearby your carry. You can peel for them and even counter enemy engages with Bladecaller (E).
3. Your feathers zone enemies. Even if you play as support, they instinctively will try to side step it.
4. Your Featherstorm (R) + Bladecaller (E) combo can be used both defensively to peel off your carries or offensively to catch enemies.

1. This is an off-meta and very fun build that works on ANY champion with mana - even those without healing or shielding abilities! All thanks to Diadem of Songs + Echoes of Helia combo.
2. With Diadem of Songs + Echoes of Helia combo, you can continuously heal your team while dealing damage.
3. Play aggressively, stack Echoes of Helia and heal! More damage = more Helia stacks = more healing.

Core items

1. Start with Tear of the Goddess and try stacking it ASAP. Get Echoes of Helia #1, then Diadem of Songs #2.
2. Core order: Echoes of Helia -> Diadem of Songs -> Liandry's Torment. If you are stacking Tear very slowly, get Liandry's before Diadem.
3. Heal and shield power items and traditional support items are less effective than raw damage - you literally heal more with Helia by dealing damage.

Buffing your team

1. Ardent Censer is worth it if you have auto attackers on your team (ADCs, auto-attack bruisers). It will trigger often enough to be good buy.
2. Bandlepipes is a good item that gives MS and buffs your allies Attack Speed when you slow/immobilize enemies. Good for your auto attackers.
3. Staff of Flowing Water is great if you have AP champions on your team. You'll be proccing it frequently with your support abilities.

Damage items

1. Once you have your core items, look for Ability Haste and for raw damage.

Runes

1. Alternatively you can take Summon Aery rune. On enchanters, Aery's shield directly procs Helia. On non-enchanters, it contributes to damage output to stack Helia faster.

Adaptation

1. Your team needs to engage or position? Get items like Shurelya's Battlesong.
2. Your team getting poked to death? Consider getting Redemption and/or Locket of the Iron Solari.
3. If you cannot manage to stay alive - get Kaenic Rookern or Warmog's Armor (caution: needs enough HP!).
4. Remember to counter the enemy team. If they have lots of healing, get Executioner's Calling early.

Double Daggers (Q)

1. You can cancel your Double Daggers (Q) animation with Deadly Plumage (W).

Bladecaller (E)

1. Don't use Bladecaller (E) too early in the fights. It creates pressure and zones your enemies, as they need to be dancing around your feathers.
2. To elevate your Xayah's game, when you want to Bladecaller (E) + Flash combo, make sure to do it at the very last frame of the animation, so enemies won't have any time to react.

Featherstorm (R)

1. Don't use Featherstorm (R) too early in the fights.
2. You can Flash during your Featherstorm (R) to reposition or to damage enemy targets.
3. You can use it for dodging crucial enemy abilities rather than just damage.

Xayah Combos

1. Double Daggers (Q) + AA + Bladecaller (E) - this way you get 3 feathers on the ground and get root from E very fast.
• You can make this combo quicker and harder to counter by cancelling your Double Daggers (Q) with Deadly Plumage (W).
2. Featherstorm (R) + Bladecaller (E) + Flash - use R, then use E and then Flash at the last moment to get a lot of feathers and root your target.
3. Featherstorm (R) + Flash - use R and then Flash at the last moment to either reposition or to damage your targets.

1. Xayah's attacks and abilities leave Feathers on the ground that she can later recall for massive area damage and control.
2. 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.
