Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose most trades due to Nautilus having better poke and disengage with Q, while Miss Fortune outranges your engage tools significantly.
- Post-6 you win all-ins if you can land W-Q combo on Miss Fortune, as your burst with Xayah's follow-up damage kills her through Nautilus peel.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for W-Q combos when Miss Fortune steps up for CS or Q poke, immediately followed by auto-attacks to proc your passive.
- Only engage when Xayah has feathers positioned and E available, as your combo needs her damage to secure kills.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam after shoving waves when Nautilus recalls or when your ADC has safe farm under tower.
- Best roam timings are level 3-4 to mid lane or invading enemy jungle with your jungler, as your W-Q combo provides guaranteed CC for ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't engage without vision of enemy jungler, as you're extremely vulnerable to ganks when your combo is on cooldown.
- Never use W aggressively if Nautilus Q is available, as he can interrupt your combo and turn the fight around.
