How to win lane as Heimerdinger against Xayah · 54.55% win rate over 66 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | Level 1 is yours since Xayah's Double Daggers can't contest a turret-backed lane. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | Level 2 stays yours as added turret and rocket damage punishes her feather-stacking step-ups. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | Level 3 favours you once E stun and a fuller nest zone her off the wave. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Levels 4-5 keep the lead because she can't all-in through your turret zone without lining up feathers. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | Level 6 is yours as UPGRADE!!! deletes her on step-up while Featherstorm is only a defensive dodge in lane. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | At first item your turret plus E-W burst kills a squishy Xayah before her Bladecaller root sets up. |
| Two+ items | Heimerdinger | At 2+ items you stay ahead by fighting from siege range so her planted feathers never root you into the combo. |
At levels 1-2 you dominate the wave: drop your H-28G turret and poke with W while Xayah has only Double Daggers and few feathers, so she can't trade back without eating turret plus grenade damage.
