Support Xayah Build

1. You're a healer, Harry.
2. Even though Xayah is not typical support, you are gonna support your team very effectively. With heals, shields and buffs:
• Heal summoner spell.
• Guardian and Font of Life runes.
• Redemption, Locket of the Iron Solari and Moonstone Renewer and other items.
• Diadem of Songs for some sweet and constant healing.

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 - even those without healing or shielding abilities!
2. Your job is to stay alive and provide constant healing, shielding, and buffs to your team through items and summoner spells.
3. Play safe and stay in the back. The longer you survive, the more you can heal your teammates.

Items

1. Your first rush is Redemption.
2. Your second rush can be Locket of the Iron Solari (vs AoE burst) or Moonstone Renewer (for sustained healing).
3. Rush Locket #2 if your team is already doing teamfights or when enemy team has champions with super AoE damage. Otherwise, get Moonstone Renewer #2.
4. If you manage to stack if quite fast, you can rush Diadem of Songs as well.
5. Echoes of Helia is a strong option - you can proc it consistently with Font of Life (from your slow/CC abilities). However it encourages you to play aggressive to stack it and with this build, you really want to stay behind and play passive. Be careful.
6. Knight's Vow is surprisingly strong if you have a carry/strong bruiser/strong tank. Stick with them and support them specifically.

Summoner Spell

1. Try to use summoner spell Heal on cooldown, especially when 2+ allies are nearby. With Moonstone Renewer, you want to heal multiple people for maximum value.

Late game

1. Later in the game (6 items), you can sell boots for a sixth support item to maximize your healing output.

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 new 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.
4. Cryptbloom is interesting if you want to go full healing. Get it as #4+ item.

Runes

1. Guardian is your most important rune. It provides massive shielding, but remember: you need to be close to your allies to proc it.
• You can also manipulate it - for example, you can stick to one ally, or avoid some spells that's gonna only waste it.
2. Another important rule is Cosmic Insight. It is crucial because it reduces cooldowns for your active items and Heal summoner spell:
• Redemption and Locket of the Iron Solari - 81.92 sec cooldown (down from 90 sec).
• Shurelya's Battlesong - 68.12 sec cooldown (down from 75 sec).
• Heal summoner spell gets reduced cooldown too!
3. You will be triggering Font of Life effect, which will heal your allies. It also chains off Moonstone Renewer!
4. Important Font of Life total healing is NOT properly calculated in post-game stats. The actual value in-game is much higher than displayed! You heal more than you think!

Redemption

1. Try to use Redemption on cooldown when your allies are missing health. It's best used when they are grouped together.
2. If you already have Moonstone Renewer, wait (or ping) until allies group before using Redemption, so you can heal everyone at once.
3. You CAN use Redemption for damage, but generally it's not worth it. Keep it to heal your team!
4. Be careful when using Redemption while dead and about to respawn. The camera will snap to your position, and you might accidentally cast it in the spawn pool. Watch out for bad timing!

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.
