Who Wins
- Pre-6: Xayah+Rakan wins due to superior range and poke potential with Q spam while you struggle to engage effectively.
- Post-6: You gain significant kill pressure with R reset potential, but Xayah's R can deny your all-ins making it skill-dependent.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for short trades using Q poke when Xayah uses abilities on minions, then immediately back off to avoid extended trades.
- When Poppy lands W or E, follow up with Q-auto-E combo but save W for dodging Rakan engage or Xayah feathers.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early levels to hit 2 first and look for an all-in with Poppy's level 2 spike.
- After that, focus on freezing near your tower to force Xayah into your engage range while denying her safe farming.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W defensively against poke - save it for dodging Rakan's W-R combo or Xayah's E recall.
- Never try to all-in when Xayah has feathers positioned behind you without Poppy's displacement tools available.
