Xayah Item Build
Feathers are Xayah's engine, and attack speed is what spins it fastest: Clean Cuts drops one on every ability-charged auto while Deadly Plumage ramps her swing rate, so a fuller Bladecaller root is really the payoff of stacked attack speed. Crit does the finishing, since her Clean Cuts autos rake every body along their path and a critical pass through a stationary line lands on several at once.
Best Xayah Runes
Lethal Tempo fits the way Xayah wants the endless teamfight to unfold, always attacking into a clumped team that cannot spread out on the narrow bridge. She sheds Feathers with every spell and auto, so the longer she is left firing, the bigger the Bladecaller root she is building toward. Take the page that keeps her alive and swinging while the feathers pile up.

Xayah Skill Order
Deadly Plumage begins ranking at 8 and finishes at 13, and the attack speed the Abyss hands out compounds with what those ranks give, so the blade storm ramps harder than the Rift version. Double Daggers pays the bill, holding its opening rank until 14.
Xayah ARAM Abilities
One piece the feather talk skips is Deadly Plumage, a blade storm that ramps her attack speed and damage, then layers on move speed once she strikes a champion to chase or reposition. Even Featherstorm rains recallable feathers, so her leap feeds the pile rather than pausing it.
