How to play
General
You rush Iceborn Gauntlet #1, then you need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
You can rush Imperial Mandate #2 if you can afford it, this makes this build more fun. However, if you are behind, it is okay to just skip it.
There's great synergy between Iceborn Gauntlet + Imperial Mandate + Font of Life. You create frozen pools that will persist for a few seconds, slowing enemies, applying Imperial Mandate debuff + Font of Life heal mark for your allies.
For more utility oriented build, you can get Locket of the Iron Solari (sustain) or Shurelya's Battlesong (engages).
Triumph rune is better overall (heal and gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of the Mind.
Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
Tips and Tricks
Double Daggers (Q)
You can cancel your Double Daggers (Q) animation with Deadly Plumage (W).
Bladecaller (E)
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.
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)
Don't use Featherstorm (R) too early in the fights.
You can Flash during your Featherstorm (R) to reposition or to damage enemy targets.
You can use it for dodging crucial enemy abilities rather than just damage.
Xayah Combos
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).
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.
Featherstorm (R) + Flash - use R and then Flash at the last moment to either reposition or to damage your targets.
Riot
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.
