Xayah
GameplayXayah is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities[]
Xayah has ability interactions with 
Rakan.
- Feathers will stop upon being intercepted by projectile-blocking effects.
- PENDING FOR TEST:: Missile popping before and after striking the primary target.
- PENDING FOR TEST::
- After striking their target, the attack will proceed in a line in the same direction it was already flying.
- If the target is more than 1000 units from Xayah when the empowered attack hits them, the attack will not keep flying in a line and drop the Feather at their location immediately.
- Unlike similar effects, the homing and line trajectories use the same missile.
- All her Feathers on the ground will be destroyed when Xayah dies, and while she is dead, missiles that are still in flight will not spawn new ones, either.
- Clean Cut's feathers will spawn even if the basic attack is blocked.
- Clean Cut's hit can be dodged by or missed against the primary target.
- This will not prevent the missile from continuing on its path nor from dealing damage to secondary targets. The damage cannot be dodged as or missed against a secondary target.
- The empowered attack will not trigger against structures nor wards.
- The duration will be refreshed when starting the attack windup against them.
- Daggers shoot from Xayah's left and right side.
- Because of the usual tick intervals of the server, Double Daggers' minimum cast time is typically reached at 168.58% bonus attack speed already, for a cast time of 0.132 seconds (from the default 0.264 seconds), or the duration of 4 game ticks.
- If the first 3 game ticks happen to be slightly longer than normal, the minimum cast time of 0.1 seconds can actually be reached in very rare cases because of that.
- Xayah is unable to declare basic attacks for a set duration during the cast time of Double Daggers. The lock out duration is reduced by 「 0.007 seconds per every 1% bonus attack speed 」「 1 second per every 140% bonus attack speed 」.
- The Feathers will stop upon being intercepted by projectile-blocking effects.
- As the feathers are forming, they will deal damage in a small area around Xayah's before firing.
- Spell shield will only block a single instance of damage.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- The lesser bolts count as additional sources of single target physical damage, and will apply bonus stacks of The Black Cleaver and Electrocute.
- The lesser bolts from Runaan's Hurricane will also deal 20% increased damage, which is represented with additional lesser bolts. The damage dealt by Deadly Plumage's bolts is 20% of the fired bolt from Runaan's Hurricane, not of the initial basic attack.
- The lesser bolts deal 20% of the triggering basic attack's damage, not based on her attack damage. Thus, if the basic attack is a critical strike, the lesser bolt will also deal increased damage.
- The empowered attack will not trigger against wards.
- Feathers that are 'in flight' will be called to Xayah too, but only once they've landed normally first.
- Spell shield will only block a single instance of damage.
- This ability cannot be ranked at Level 1.
- The damage dealt by Bladecaller follows a diminishing returns formula not mentioned in the ability's description, successively reducing extra damage from feathers beyond the first.
- This formula is:
- For feathers <=19: Damage of one feather × (n − 0.05 × (n − 1) ÷ 2 × n) where n stands for the number of feathers hit.
- For feathers >=20: Damage of one feather × (19 − 0.05 × (19 − 1) ÷ 2 × 19 + 0.1 × (n − 19)) where n stands for the number of feathers hit.
- For example, at rank 1 Bladecaller deals 55 − 574.75 (based on feathers hit).
- This formula is:
- Bladecaller cannot be cast without a Feather on the ground.
- The individual missiles have 1100 range but start slightly behind Xayah, reducing their total range.
- The following table refers for interactions while Xayah is in Featherstorm:

Trivia[]
- Xayah is one of 20 champions without a single ability power ratio on any ability: Aatrox, Camille, Darius, Dr. Mundo, Draven, Garen, Kayn, Kled, Naafiri, Nilah, Olaf, Pyke, Riven, Samira, Sett, Talon, Urgot, Yone, and Zed.
- Xayah's and Rakan's dual release is the first one since V1.0.0.72.
- Xayah's and Rakan's loading screens always align themselves to the rightmost side before a game starts and when picked on the same team (to mirror their shared splash art).
- Xayah's and Rakan's dual recall animation is divided into three sections, an intro, a middle section, and then an outro. The whole sequence would take 8 seconds if Xayah and Rakan recalled at the exact same time, while the intro and the outro are both (<2 seconds).
The system will always play the intro, then it will always play the outro when there is 2 seconds left in the animation, regardless of how long the middle section has played for. This means that the characters will blend from whatever position they are in, to the first pose of the outro part of the sequence.[2] - Xayah does not lay eggs.[3]
- Xayah is the sixth dark-theme Ionian champion, the others being Shen, Varus, Syndra, Zed, Jhin, & Kayn.
- Bladecaller's victim is an acolyte of The Shadow Order.
- She has a base size of 35 which is considered small.
- Xayah and Rakan are likely to always receive skins together.
