Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win trades through Q engage potential and superior base damages, while your shield absorbs Xayah's poke damage effectively.
- Post-6 you lose all-ins if Xayah uses R to dodge your Q, as you can't provide enough peel for Miss Fortune against their combined burst.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q when Xayah steps forward for CS or feather placement, immediately followed by auto-attack and E for maximum lockdown.
- Always body-block for Miss Fortune after engaging, as your shield and health pool can absorb Alistar's damage while she deals damage safely.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam when Miss Fortune has safe farm and enemy bot lane is pushed up, typically after level 4 when your Q-auto-E combo becomes lethal.
- Best roam timings are coordinating with your jungler for scuttle fights or ganking mid lane when they're overextended.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use Q unless you're certain it will hit, as missing leaves Miss Fortune completely vulnerable to Alistar engage for 14+ seconds.
- Never engage when Xayah has R available unless you can bait it out first, as she can dodge your entire combo and turn the fight.
