Who Wins

  • Xayah + Senna wins pre-6 through superior range, poke, and early game damage - your Q poke is weaker than Senna's Q + passive and Xayah's Q + E combo.
  • Post-6 you still lose 2v2s as your R damage is delayed while Xayah's R provides immediate repositioning and burst with feathers.

Synergy & Trading

  • Focus on Q poke when Senna is positioning for souls or when Xayah uses Q on minions, then immediately back off to avoid extended trades.
  • Let Cho'Gath engage with Q knockup, then follow up with your Q + W for maximum damage while they're CC'd.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Push waves hard early to prevent Senna from collecting souls freely, but avoid overextending past river without vision.
  • After first back, focus on freezing near your tower to farm safely and force them to overextend for poke.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't try to match their poke damage in extended trades - your early game damage is significantly weaker and you'll lose health wars.
  • Avoid fighting in minion waves where Xayah can use creeps to set up feather angles for her E.
