Xayah vs Sivir

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Xayah wins by setting feather traps to punish Sivir's short-range CS approach and all-ins.
Sivir controls waveclear but lacks range to poke safely through well-placed feathers.
The lane turns on who controls the wave state to force Sivir into vulnerable last-hit positions.

Trading pattern

Punish Sivir when she last-hits caster minions walking through feather lines, only if support can't zone.
Use (Q) and autos to place feathers before committing to trades, then root with (E) if she chases.
Avoid trading when (E) is up, as it blocks your key engage tool.

Danger windows

(E) blocks your (E) root, making trades risky if used on poke.
Avoid stepping forward when enemy support controls brush or threat zone, as (W) punishes close spacing.
Be cautious when (R) is up on Sivir, as her team gains movement advantage for engages or disengages.

Early game

Use early waves to place feathers behind Sivir's last-hit path to threaten (E) roots.
Avoid stepping up before level 3 when feather setup is weak and (R) is unavailable.
Watch for Sivir's support position to decide if last-hit punish windows are safe to take.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) lets you deny Sivir's engage and punish chase with untargetable and root.
First marksman item spike improves sustained DPS and feather threat, enabling safer front-to-back fights.
Two-item power spike solidifies your ability to control fights where enemies must cross your feathers.

Win conditions

Convert feather control and (E) roots into CS leads by punishing Sivir's last-hit approach.
Use lane pressure to force Sivir under tower, denying safe waveclear and plates.
Scale into teamfights where your self-peel (R) and feather zoning maximize DPS and front-to-back control.
