Sivir vs Xayah

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Sivir's ability to block Xayah's root setup with (E) and punish her last-hit paths.
Sivir benefits from waveclear to deny Xayah feather placement and forces Xayah to farm safely behind minions.
Xayah wins extended trades with feather control; Sivir wins short trades by punishing CS attempts and leveraging (E).

Trading pattern

Punish Xayah when she steps forward for last hits if enemy support can't zone or engage.
Use (W) to tag Xayah through minions when she stands behind the wave.
Avoid short-range auto trades without (E) available, as Xayah's root and DPS outmatch you then.

Danger windows

Avoid trading when (E) is down, as (E) root and (W) DPS can punish you hard.
Respect enemy support control of brush or engage range, which can make last-hit punishment too risky.
Be cautious if (R) is available; she can dodge your key engage and punish your follow-up.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin minions and keep wave on your side to reduce Xayah's feather setup.
Punish Xayah's caster minion last hits with (Q) double-hit when support threat is low.
Hold (E) for (E) root or support engage spells; avoid stepping up without (E) ready.

Power spikes

(E) availability is key; it blocks Xayah's root or support engage, enabling safer trades.
Level 6 (R) gives team movement advantage; coordinate engages or disengages to punish Xayah's limited mobility.
First completed marksman item improves waveclear and poke, letting you deny Xayah plate pressure and feather setup.

Win conditions

Use waveclear to deny Xayah's feather placement and force her to farm under turret.
Convert CS leads and wave control into plate damage and dragon vision control.
Reach item spikes and use (R) in teamfights to enable your DPS and speed advantage over Xayah.
