Tank Xayah Build

1. You play Tank Xayah.
2. You rush Heartsteel #1 and stack as much HP as possible.
3. You build items that scale and benefit from HP, then add Armor and MR depending on the enemy team.

Getting started

1. You rush Heartsteel.
2. Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for a very long time (or even have it as 6th item).

Item Order

1. Item Order after Heartsteel is flexible. You need to see what you need in particular game:
• Get Overlord's Bloodmail for more damage and AD.
• Get Warmog's Armor as anti-poke item (helps you stay in lane) and for some sweet HP.
• Get Unending Despair, if there are prolonged fights in which you can stay near enemies (or enemies near you). The items gets better, the more HP you get.
• Get various Armor and/or MR items to counter enemy team.
• Get Titanic Hydra for more fun, more damage and some survivability.

During fights

1. Your main damage and power comes from auto attacks - Grasp of the Undying and Heartsteel.
2. This is auto attack oriented Xayah build, so do it! Especially if running with Titanic Hydra or Sundered Sky.
3. You can prioritize switching between champions in the fight, just to farm more Heartsteel procs.
4. Remember to consume your Heartsteel procs!

Adapting

1. 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.
2. Sundered Sky is very good damage item for this build (as #2-#4 depending on the game). It scales off your HP. It gives damage and pretty good sustain in fights. Remember to switch targets to maximize the effect!
3. You can use Bandlepipes to give your whole team an attack speed boost whenever you CC enemies. Great synergy with auto attackers.

Runes

1. Second Wind scales off with your HP, so it is going to be powerful sustain rune. You can use it by purposefully triggering it by letting enemies poke you a little or walking over some harmful spells.
2. Triumph is better (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of Mind.
3. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

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.
