Who Wins

  • Pre-6 you win through superior range, hook threat, and ability to disengage Nilah's attempts to close distance.
  • Post-6 becomes much harder as Sylas can steal Xayah's R and both enemies have strong all-in potential that can bypass your peel.

Synergy & Trading

  • Use Q threat to zone while Xayah pokes, and look for hooks when Sylas uses E aggressively or Nilah tries to engage.
  • Follow successful hooks with E-auto-ignite combos, but save your E to interrupt Sylas's E2 dash when possible.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Roam when Xayah has wave control and vision is established - look for mid lane ganks or deep wards in enemy jungle.
  • Best roam timings are after successful recalls when your ADC can safely farm under tower.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't use Q on minions for poke when both enemies are healthy and have engage tools available - missing hook means they can freely all-in.
  • Never facecheck bushes alone as both enemies have strong pick potential and can easily kill you in close quarters.
