How to win lane as Xayah against Heimerdinger · 51.45% win rate over 550 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | Heimerdinger's H-28G turrets deny your walk-up last-hits and his Q rockets out-range your autos at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | At level 2 his turret plus Q poke out-trades anything you can do without W up. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | By level 3 his full turret nest zones you off the wave and punishes every approach. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Through levels 4-5 his turret DPS and E grenade keep controlling the choke you need to farm. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | His level 6 ult supercharges turrets and his E stun, making any all-in favour him. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | At one item his turret wall still out-values your first crit spike in the lane choke. |
| Two+ items | Heimerdinger | In 2+ item teamfights his turret nest and ult-E stun zone the exact angles your feathers need. |
You are behind from the first minion: his H-28G turrets deny you free last-hits and chunk you whenever you walk up, while his Q rockets out-poke your auto range. Do not try to out-poke him head-on; hide behind your caster minions, take safe last-hits with Q Double Daggers, and only step up to trade when W Deadly Plumage is up and a turret has just died.
