Xerath is a long-range poke mage, strong at pressuring enemies and clearing waves from a safe distance. However, he is vulnerable to assassins and easily shut down without allied protection, so mind your positioning. Maintain optimal distance for continuous poke and ultimate usage to maximize your teamfight impact.

Tip

Xerath is weak to champions tha instantly close in. Be careful of Katarina’s Bouncing Blade (Q) as she can use the daggers to close in. Be especially wary when charging up Arcanopulse [Q] as she will try to close in then.Try to use Eye of Destruction [W] instead to deal damage.
