Miss Fortune vs Xayah

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Miss Fortune wins short trades through (Q) bounce poke and forces Xayah off CS behind low-health minions.
Xayah scales better in extended fights and needs feather setup to threaten roots, so maintain poke pressure to deny her.
Control wave states that create clean (Q) bounce angles and punish Xayah's last hits to dominate lane priority.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto or (Q) punish Xayah’s last-hit animations when she stands behind low-health minions.
Use (E) slow to secure safer (Q) bounce angles or trap Xayah for follow-up damage.
Avoid punishing if enemy support controls engage zones or brush, as Xayah’s (E) root and (R) untargetability enable counterplay.

Danger windows

Avoid stepping forward when Xayah’s (E) root is up and support can follow for all-in trades.
Respect windows when Xayah’s (R) is available to dodge your (R) or counter-engage.
Beware of enemy support controlling brush or river, enabling safe engages that interrupt your channel or punish poke.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin caster minions and create low-health minions for (Q) bounce poke.
Punish Xayah stepping up for last hits only if enemy support cannot immediately trade back or zone.
Position to deny Xayah safe feather placement by controlling wave and support brush access early.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) lets Miss Fortune turn support CC or dragon choke control into fight-winning damage; hold (R) for committed enemies.
First completed damage item strengthens (Q) poke and recall pressure, forcing Xayah off the wave before objectives.
Respect Xayah’s level 6 (R) untargetability that denies engages and her two-item DPS spike for longer trades.

Win conditions

Convert health leads from (Q) bounce poke into recalls, plate damage, and dragon control.
Use wave pressure to force Xayah under tower, limiting her feather setup and scaling.
Pair (R) with allied CC in objective chokepoints to maximize teamfight damage and secure fights.
