Best Xayah builds in League of Legends Swarm

Xayah’s best builds option in League of Legends Swarm makes her one of the best DPS champions in the game mode. She is currently sitting very high up in the Swarm tier list and is considered by many to be one of the best picks for both the early game and the late game.

Xayah’s playstyle is all about making the most of her DPS and AoE potential. When building her, you focus primarily on maximizing her damage while improving her Pickup Radius as that is what her best weapons evolve with, in Swarm.

Although she is one of the best DPS picks in the bullet heaven, Xayah is one of the hardest champions to unlock. You will need to complete a total of 20 Bel’Veth trials to get her and she is very much worth the grind.
