Lore Power Level and Analysis: Xayah, The Rebel

What’s up guys it’s me KatarHero (or Hyper10sion) back with a pair of Lore Power Level assessments of the Rift’s star crossed lovers: Xayah and Rakan. This particular analysis focuses on Xayah, but Rakan’s can be viewed here.
Just like with Galio, who’s analysis you can find here, I am going to analyze Xayah in five categories: Makeup, Physical Abilities, Magical Abilities, Weaknesses, and Feats. I will then place her into one of my five tier lists, explaining the placement as well.

#Xayah, The Rebel

Makeup: Xayah is of the Vastayan race, a species of shapeshifting animal-human hybrids, in tune with the magicks of the world. They can shape shift, use magicks unlike that of humans, and have extreme longevity. They are still vulnerable to standard weapons and magical attacks, but they are certainly stronger than the average human.

Physical Abilities: Xayah, while not as physically freakish as Rakan, is able to keep up with Zed as shown in the recent lore video. Zed has his speed and strength enhanced by his ability to control the shadows, so this means she is at least on par with a human in peak physical condition.

Magical Abilities: Xayah’s real power comes from her magical prowess. She can conjure magical feather blades at will, ranging from a few at a time to dozens, as seen when fighting Zed. These blades are strong enough to pierce through solid stone and embedding themselves around two thirds of the way in. She can then recall these feathers for a surprise attack, going through her enemies as they recall to Xayah.

Weaknesses: While Xayah may be hard to get to, a trained warrior with magical powers on par with hers, such as Zed, can overwhelm and potentially kill her. She also does not appear to be as fast as Rakan, meaning gunfire and arrows are even more potent against her.

Feats: Xayah has gone toe to toe with Zed, even using her feathers to destroy a massive magical crystal. These feathers have also been shown to penetrate steel plate, and Xayah was shown to shred through Zed’s students with only a few feathers.

#Summary:
Xayah is an extremely deadly warrior, able to cut through scores of enemies on her own. Her ability to have an infinite amount of ranged ammo to use combined with her Vastayan physique gives her an extreme lethality on the battlefield, meriting her the Sorcerer subclass of the Magus tier.
Tier: Magus Tier (Sorcerer Subtier)

Did I put Xayah too high? Is she too low? Talk to me about it in the comments. If you want to see the original lore power levels, they are: God, Transcended, Harbinger, Magus, and Mortal
