Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win with successful Q engages due to Xayah's follow-up damage, but post-6 becomes riskier as Ashe R can counter-engage your initiations.
- Your hook threat remains strong but requires better positioning.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q when enemies are grouped or slowed by Ashe W, then follow with auto-W-E combo while Xayah sets up feathers.
- Your lockdown duration allows Xayah to land full combos.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam after level 3 when you have full combo available, especially to secure scuttle or gank mid with your Q-auto-E chain CC.
- Your roam timing should align with Xayah's wave push.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't Q into Zoe's E range without vision of her position - getting slept after missing hook leaves Xayah in a 1v2 situation.
