Look for skirmishes and team fights. Use your E to root multiple enemies and your R to dodge crucial enemy abilities.
Xayah Mid in the Late Game:
Stick with your team. Your damage output is significant, but you're also vulnerable. Positioning is key.
Xayah Mid during Team Fights:
- Stay in the backline and use your abilities to deal damage while staying safe.

- Baron: Similar to Dragon, but be more cautious of enemy steals or engages.
Xayah Mid Matchups:
