| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Xayah | Xayah's level 1 kit and feathers out-trade your slow minigun ramp. |
| Level 2 | Xayah | At 2 her W attack speed and burst beat you with no escape for you. |
| Level 3 | Xayah | At 3 her feather damage and safety keep you off the trade entirely. |
| Levels 4-5 | Xayah | Through 4-5 she still bullies the lane while you scale behind. |
| Level 6 | Xayah | Her Featherstorm at 6 dodges your ult and CC, denying your all-in. |
| First item | Jinx | Your first item and resets flip the DPS race in your favour. |
| Two+ items | Jinx | Late your range and uncapped attack speed out-scale her kit. |
Xayah wins the early lane hard: with Double Daggers and Deadly Plumage her attack speed and feather burst beat your minigun ramp, and you have no dash to escape, so concede the shove and farm safely at range.
