Kalista dumps burst with Rend (E), but Xayah pulls her feathers back via Bladecaller (E) to win wave clear and poke, and when Kalista steps into her short auto range, the attack-speed burst of Deadly Plumage (W) wins the all-in trade.

Kai'Sa sits at near-melee range until she engages with Killer Instinct (R), so her early lane is weak, while Xayah pokes by recalling feathers with Bladecaller (E) and shrugs off Kai'Sa's all-in with the untargetability of Featherstorm (R).

Twitch's lane relies on closing through the stealth of Ambush (Q), but Xayah pressures with a constant range advantage and Bladecaller (E) poke, and even when Twitch engages with Spray and Pray (R) or stealth, Featherstorm (R)'s untargetability nullifies the trade.

Nilah is a melee champion who struggles to hold the lane, while Xayah chips away at her CS and health with ranged autos and Bladecaller (E) poke, and even when Nilah dashes in with Slipstream (E), Featherstorm (R) nullifies the melee all-in.

Caitlyn's range is overwhelmingly longer, so she keeps poking with autos and Yordle Snap Trap (W) from outside Xayah's Bladecaller (E) recall range, draining her health before Xayah can approach to lay feathers.

Draven's single auto loaded with Spinning Axe (Q) overpowers Xayah's trades, seizing a strong early health lead before she can retaliate with Featherstorm (R) or Deadly Plumage (W).

Ashe pokes with Volley (W) and constantly slows Xayah via Frost Shot (P), denying her Bladecaller (E) recall angles, then locks the dashless Xayah down with Enchanted Crystal Arrow (R) for the all-in.

Varus lands long-range poke from behind Xayah's feathers and the minion wave with the charged, piercing Piercing Arrow (Q), pressuring her health before she can get into range.

Jhin pokes and roots Xayah with the fourth empowered shot from Whisper (P) and the long-range bind of Deadly Flourish (W), then pressures the dashless Xayah with Curtain Call (R)'s range to seize trade initiative.
