These feathers won't tickle.

Battle Bat Xayah splash

Xayah is one of the best champions in League of Legends, bringing swift and deadly attacks that can absolutely decimate enemies on the Summoner’s Rift. In Swarm, she is also a formidable force that can clear out waves of enemies with the right build on her side.

With her feathers slicing through multiple foes at a time, Xayah is bringing a personal grudge to the fight against Primordians after her former settlement was destroyed by the unforgiving waves of countless enemies at humanity’s doorstep. Now, she will be taking her talents to the Battle Bats as she aids the Anima Squad in defending the last hope for Earth.

If you’re ready to help with the defense of mankind, here is the best Xayah build in League‘s PvE game mode, Swarm.

Crit Xayah: Xayah’s Best LoL Swarm Build

When she steps onto the battlefield alongside her teammates, Xayah has one simple job: Deal damage. There isn’t much to Xayah’s build; your main priority is to deal tons of damage.

Having access to Xayah means you have also taken down the 20 Bel’Veth Trials on Hard mode. This means that by now, you have a complete understanding of how Swarm works and the knowledge to continue in the campaign. 

Best weapons for Xayah’s Crit build in LoL Swarm

The most satisfying and optimal way to play Xayah in League of Legends and Swarm is to stack her with as many critical strike and damage items as possible. A lot of damage goes a long way towards your ultimate, which shreds through enemies in the blink of an eye. 

  • Xayah’s Weapon
  • UwU Blaster
  • Final City Transit 
  • Bunny Mega-Blast 
  • Bunny Crossbow 

The Bunny Mega-Blast and the Bunny Crossbow provide critical strike chance, an essential passive for Xayah as she scales through the late game. Battle Bunny Crossbow fires arrows in a cone shape towards a random direction. These arrows pierce the enemies upon critically striking them.

When evolved, this weapon fires multiple knives instead. Bunny Mega-Blast launches an orbital strike towards random enemies in the vicinity. Rapid Rabbit Raindown is the upgraded version of this weapon and launches a barrage of orbital strikes toward enemies, ending in a giant strike. 

For damage, nothing beats the Final City Transit. This weapon occasionally sends out trains that drive through enemies. FC Limited Express, the upgraded version of this weapon, generates explosive trains with knock-up, and slain enemies have a chance to drop gold. UwU Blaster is the final weapon on this list to round out the critical strike build for Xayah. It fires laser shots at the nearest enemy, dealing damage to the first hit. OwO Blaster is the upgraded version of this weapon that fires twice as fast. 

Best upgrade prioritization for Xayah’s Crit build in Swarm

When looking at the passive stats to upgrade, pickup radius is a must for your main weapon. If you wish to deal any damage, focus on pickup radius to make the most of those feathers. Once Xayah’s weapon is online, then shift attention to critical strike and damage items. This build is effective in both solo and with a squad.

The main upgrades you’ll need to prioritize are:

  • Pickup Radius
  • Crit Chance
  • Damage
  • Armor
  • Projectiles
  • Haste
