How to play Xayah in ARAM Mayhem

Xayah is a below-average pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier C, #125 of 173 champions, with a 47.9% win rate over 983,588 games.

93% of Xayah's damage to champions is physical, so enemy armor is what slows it down.

The Crit build, critical strike and attack speed items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: Yun Tal Wildarrows, Infinity Edge and Lord Dominik's Regards, with a 49.1% win rate over 733,636 games. For boots, most players buy Berserker's Greaves, but Gluttonous Greaves rank higher.

The cards that do best on Xayah are Hand of Baron, Weapon of Destiny and Back To Basics. Cards built around movement speed fill most of the top of its list, followed by ability haste. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Overloaded and Pinball when you can: they do worst on Xayah. A pair to look for: Hand of Baron with Weapon of Destiny.

Take Flash and Ghost (70% of players). Max E (Bladecaller) first, then W, then Q.
