Best Xayah counters — Bot

DravenExtremeOut trade her weak early laning with your axes. Snowball your gold before she scales into her strong late game.

HweiMajorPoke and zone her from long range, then lock her down with your CC before she can set up her feathers.

CaitlynMajorOut range her and poke from safety, shoving her under turret so she never farms into her late game power.

TristanaMajorJump on her and all in early. She is immobile without ult, so burst her down before she scales up.

Extreme: a hard counter that should win the lane. Major: a clear edge, but still playable.
