Level 3Miss FortuneLevel 3 favours you as full Q-E out-trades her while her Bladecaller ammo is thin.
Levels 4-5Even / skillBy levels 4-5 it's even - her feather zoning and lifesteal now match your poke.
Level 6Even / skillAt 6 it's skill: Featherstorm can dodge your Bullet Time, so the all-in hinges on cooldown timing.
First itemEven / skillAt first item both spike on crit, leaving the trade roughly even.
Two+ itemsXayahWith two-plus items Xayah's Featherstorm dodge and teamfight root punish your immobile ult and pull her ahead.

How to beat Xayah as Miss Fortune: the early game

You win the first three levels: Double Up out-pokes her Double Daggers and she must enter your range to fight, eating Make it Rain. She has to come into your range to fight, so poke her on the way in with a bounce and drop the slow underneath her. Read the floor before you read her health. Three feathers between the two of you means the ground is already prepared, so take the plate and reset rather than fighting on it.
