| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jhin | Level 1 is yours — you out-range her short daggers before feathers matter. |
| Level 2 | Jhin | Level 2 favors you as your crit-and-grenade trades beat her poke. |
| Level 3 | Jhin | Level 3 stays green: your fourth-shot burst punishes her step-ups to stack feathers. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even — she nears her feather threshold and Featherstorm powerspike. |
| Level 6 | Xayah | Level 6 tips to Xayah: Featherstorm dodges your ult and enables a multi-feather root all-in. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even — your Collector burst trades with her Blade Caller root when feathers aren't stacked. |
| Two+ items | Xayah | Past two items Xayah wins: untargetability and feather-root beat your immobile ult and zone your DPS. |
Levels 1-3 are yours: Xayah's poke is short-ranged and she needs to stack feathers before her E roots, so you fourth-shot trade, grenade-zone, and W-root her step-ups to farm.
