Chapter 123 Touch of Netherfire! Armor Piercing Flowing Clouds!
KkOma was surprised that Xayah's passive basic attack, Feather Blade, could trigger Deathfire Touch just like her Q skill!
This AD Xayah is really strong!
At least in terms of blood transfusion, Bang's Varus doesn't have much of an advantage.

"Old Ma of the West Eighth Division!"

On the SKT players' bench, Wolf couldn't help but curse out loud.

Just now, when Xayah activated her W skill and pressed forward towards Varus, her eager fighting stance prompted Wolf to immediately grant Varus his E shield.

However, after Wang Yao's Xayah landed a basic attack, she turned around and released her Q skill in his direction, throwing out two feather blades.

Immediately afterwards, another basic attack landed on the minion in front of her. Xayah then unleashed her passive Feather Blade, which landed next to him. She immediately pressed her E skill, Backstab, and launched an attack!

Swish! !

This feint attack instantly trapped Wolf's Lulu in place.

Meiko's Janna had already set her sights on Lulu after communicating with Wang Yao beforehand.

The already charged Janna's Q skill blew up, sending the controlled Lulu flying.

At the same time, Meiko unleashed both Ignite and W skill on Lulu.

This sudden turn of events caught Bang off guard, but his actions remained undisturbed.

Bang calmly used his healing spell, first giving Lulu a small amount of health and a speed boost, then unleashing a barrage of basic attacks on Xayah.

Wolf's Lulu, after regaining her mobility, immediately used Flash to escape.

But at this moment, EDG's bot lane duo clearly had the intention to kill.

When Wang Yao's Xayah activates her W skill, she gains increased movement speed when she auto-attacks an enemy hero, allowing her to quickly close the distance to Lulu.

Wang Yao didn't even use Flash in this wave.

He simply used a healing spell to forcibly restore some of the health he had just lost to Varus.

Using the speed-up effect of the healing spell, Xayah and Lulu closed the distance between them. Finally, she raised her hand and unleashed a feather blade, killing the low-health Lulu.

At that moment, Wolf felt a chill run down his spine.

In order to gain an advantage in his position, he specifically chose to bring Ignite in this game.

The outcome in the bottom lane far exceeded his expectations!

The Xayah and Janna on the other side were like mad dogs; they actually charged in right in front of Varus and killed themselves.

This is absolutely disgusting!
Firstblood!

The first kill notification sounded, and the first kill of the entire match unexpectedly occurred in the bottom lane.

Cheers suddenly erupted from the crowd.

Holy crap! This actually works?!

"It's not like your SKT bot lane picks Varus and Xayah gets first blood, is it? You're playing a Minotaur as a special treat!"

"Can a combination of Deathfire Touch and Armor Penetration Xayah really be this powerful? I'll try it out tonight!"

Kshine: You collapsed before I even exerted any effort?

"..."

The online comments were scrolling wildly.

The bot lane secured a kill right at the start, which significantly boosted EDG's morale. Mouse, who is usually timid in the top lane, became quite confident when facing Huni.

There's no way around it, that's the confidence that the ADC in the bot lane gives me! He's got a crazy attitude, but I'll definitely unleash my full combo on him!

"Xia's burst damage makes it feel like attack speed is completely unnecessary. It's such a simple set of skills. If Lulu is controlled and doesn't have Exhaust, she's basically doomed."

PDD stared in disbelief from the commentary booth.

He really didn't expect Xia to be able to play like this!
"What I'm thinking now is, after Kshine goes back to base for the first time, will she immediately pull out a Serrated Dagger? That would be too over the top!"

Miller clicked his tongue and spoke.

He's suddenly looking forward to Xayah's performance later on, since new strategies and new things are always the best to emerge in the finals.

If the gameplay is always the same and follows the same meta, what's the point? Nobody wants to watch a boring finals.

"I think an AD Xayah build focused on armor penetration is really viable!"

PDD said this in a very serious tone.

It's worth noting that Xayah's Q skill and ultimate both have a 1.0 AD scaling.

This means that as long as Xayah has enough armor penetration, the damage she deals to squishy champions will be very close to true damage!
Of the lineup SKT selected, only Huni's Poppy could barely be considered a tank.

Would Poppy, who is matched up against Ryze, dare to prioritize armor items in the early game? That's definitely impossible.

As for the late game... with the poke-heavy lineup EDG picked, who the hell would drag it out to the late game against SKT?!
If you can hold out in the mid-game, then you're really awesome!
On the EDG player bench.

After securing a solo kill in his lane, Wang Yao picked up his water glass and took a sip to calm his excitement.

In the first game of the finals, he brought Deathfire Touch and played a Xayah with armor penetration. He admitted that there was an element of gambling involved, but fortunately, he won the gamble.

Judging from the early stages, EDG's bot lane duo had gained a significant advantage and essentially secured control of the bottom lane.

As a professional ADC player, Wang Yao is well aware that because the versions of each season are different, simply copying some advanced playstyles may not necessarily be effective.

Therefore, in order to determine whether this strategy could be used on the field, Wang Yao did a lot of numerical research in private.

Especially in terms of hero skills and attributes!
In this respect, the current version of Xayah is actually quite average. The base damage of her Q skill at level 1 is 80 points, which is actually 10 points less than in later versions.

Fortunately, the attack damage AD bonus remains unchanged at 1.0.

In addition, the underrated but very useful talent, Deathfire Touch, combined with Xayah's passive Feather Blade, makes it incredibly satisfying to use Q to harass!
Xayah's Feather Blade auto-attack can pass through the minion wave and hit enemy units behind her, and Deathfire Touch can trigger Xayah's auto-attack, and the talent has no cooldown!

As long as Wang Yao finds the right angle to land a basic attack, hitting Varus and Lulu near the red team's minion wave, he can exert enough pressure and damage.

That's the charm of Alliance's cutting-edge technology!
In addition, Janna's E skill shield, once maxed out, can significantly increase Xayah's attack damage.

A fully leveled Janna's E skill, without calculating the 10% ability power bonus, can increase the ADC's AD by 40 points.

In this version, the Great Whisper only provides 50 points to AD!
If you add a 10% AP bonus, Xayah's damage will be even higher.

Moreover, the attack speed buff from the Ardent Censer monster also has an excellent boosting effect on Xayah's armor penetration build.

Xayah's attack speed boost from her W skill in the late game, combined with the Ardent Censer buff, allows her to maintain an excellent auto-attack output frequency even without building many attack speed items.

The attack speed of the Flowing Clouds, which outputs damage like a storm, looks visually impressive, but few players have yet witnessed the power of the armor-piercing Flowing Clouds, which can overcome all skill with sheer force!

This time, it really opened SKT's eyes.
