Today I want to share with you a new idea from Xia. As we all know, due to the short range, Critical Strike Liuxia suffers a lot in the laning phase. Therefore, most players who play Xayah have transitioned to pure armor-piercing and rely on QE to deal damage from a long distance. They are nicknamed "Little Jess". "Although this genre solves Xayah's problem of low fault tolerance in the early stage, it also has an obvious shortcoming. The equipment does not provide attack speed and critical hits, and most of the damage comes from skills, resulting in warriors who cannot hit equipped equipment. Tanks become weaker in the later stages, and the winning rate curve can also prove this.
So I thought: Is there a way to play that allows Xayah to have poke and late-stage carry abilities at the same time? After many experiments, I finally found a good combination. The order of equipment is blue-sucking knife, attack speed boots, darkwalker's claw, large armor-piercing, endless and demon-drinking knife (resurrection armor), runes Point out Cluster Blade, Taste of Blood, Eyeball Collector, Ultimate Hunter, Mana Flow Tie and Transcendence, the small runes must point for attack speed.
Next, let’s talk about the advantages of this gameplay. First of all, it takes shape faster . You don’t have to worry about the Tear of the Goddess in the early stage to delay the combat effectiveness. Once the blue-sucking knife is released, you can basically lose unlimited skills. After making a two-piece set, the damage will be considerable (one QE hits crispy skin for 630), while the pure armor-piercing style must stack magic cut damage to get high damage (one QE hits crispy skin for 677, not counting star eclipse damage).
Secondly, the skill haste is high . The blue-sucking knife and the dark claw can provide 40 skill haste, plus the transcendence, the total is 50. Calculated according to level 11, at this time, the CD of Xayah's Q skill is 4 seconds and the E skill is 6 seconds, which is completely enough. , so the shoes can be equipped with attack speed shoes. After turning on W, the spell blade of the blue-sucking knife will do pretty good damage at level A, even if the opponent is close. On the other hand, in the early stage of the pure armor-piercing style, only Magic Cut can provide 15 skills haste. I had no choice but to mend my CD shoes, as the flat A felt extremely "constipated".
After the three-piece set, Dark Claw Xia's comprehensive ability is reflected. A QE hit on a three-dimensional 1500, 70, 70 ADC dummy can cause nearly 900 damage, and a flat A critical hit can cause more than 500 damage. The critical hit is about 300, and this is without the Giant Killer being triggered. If you hit a warrior or a tank, the damage will be even higher. It really takes into account both poke and level A, while pure armor-piercing flow can basically only hide in the mid-term. If you lose skills later, the damage won't be much higher, it just adds a slowdown.
After equipping the Six Gods, you can sell the Dark Claw and replace it with the Power of the Wind. In this way, it is no different from the regular critical attack Liuxia. You can still carry it in the later stage. It is very comfortable in the early, middle and late stages, unlike pure wear. There is a lot of time pressure like influenza A.
Finally, I will explain a few points that you may have questions about. One is, what is the use of Dark Claw's initiative against Xayah? The effect of Sand Swipe is to move behind the target, and at the same time, the damage caused in the next 3 seconds will be increased by 15%. It can be used in some specific situations, such as throwing the spear back and then directly using the Dark Claw E, so that the opponent will definitely suffer The damage reaches 115%, which is suitable for use in 1V1 situations, or when someone on the opposite side is around you, you can also use it to send yourself to a safer position.
Now that Dark Claw is out, why not Collector? My evaluation is that it can be released, but it is not necessary, because collectors should release it in the second or third item at the latest. However, since Dark Claw Xia does not have magic cut, it must absorb the blue knife and release it in the third item. The equipment has basically started to be used in group fights. Only by using large armor can you hit the front row, and the priority must be higher than that of collectors. It doesn’t make much sense to use it after that.
So if other equipment is the same, can Dark Claw be replaced by Star Eclipse? I have done damage tests with two combinations. The damage of the Dark Claw will be higher after the two-piece set. After all, fixed armor piercing is still more cost-effective than percentage armor piercing. What do you think of this new idea?
