Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win trades with Q bounce damage and superior auto-attack range, forcing Xayah to farm defensively.
- Post-6 you lose all-ins if Alistar lands W-Q combo, as you lack mobility to escape their burst damage and Xayah's feather setup.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q through low-health minions to bounce damage onto Xayah, then follow with auto-attacks while maintaining maximum range.
- Always position behind minions to avoid Alistar W engage, and use W movement speed to kite backwards after trading.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Maintain slow pushes to keep minions between you and Alistar while poking with Q bounces.
- Crash waves before recalling to deny Alistar roam opportunities, and avoid hard shoving when enemy jungler is missing.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never stand in line with low-health minions when Xayah has Q available, as she can use minions to place feathers behind you.
- Don't use R unless Alistar combo is on cooldown, as any displacement cancels your ultimate and wastes the ability.
