Read from Ashe's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Xayah.
This is Ashe's own plan; across 8,676 pooled games the lane is leaning Ashe.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ashe | Volley outranges Double Daggers and you bully her before feathers exist. |
| Level 2 | Ashe | At 2 your slow denies her feather setup while you trade freely. |
| Level 3 | Ashe | By 3 perma-slow plus support CC lets you all-in a feather-less Xayah. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are skill: she starts banking feathers while you still hold range. |
| Level 6 | Xayah | At 6 Featherstorm clears your R and hands her a free untargetable window. |
| First item | Xayah | Her first item plus a full Bladecaller root chain out-DPSes you in a duel. |
| Two+ items | Xayah | Late she has root, invuln, and AoE clean-up you can't match one-on-one. |
Levels 1-3 are yours: Volley outranges her Double Daggers and your slow stops her from ever setting up a Bladecaller root, so bully her off the wave. Feathers on the ground are the threat, not her autos. Move so that a Bladecaller line would cross the fewest of them, and step out of the plane entirely once three are down. Her Deadly Plumage is an 18-second cooldown at rank 1, so open the moment she has spent it clearing rather than trading.
