Xerath General information
Xerath tips and tricks
Stand as far back as possible and use your range advantage to harass and poke the enemy laners down. Use your Q and W from far away so they cannot trade back with you.
Delay a team fight for as long as possible while you aim to poke the enemy with your abilities. Look to fight when the enemy is low.
Make use of your Passive by auto-attacking enemy champions or minions in lane to top your mana back up. This will allow you to continue harassing the enemy with your abilities.
