Xerath Matchups Overview

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 ArcanopulseQ and Eye of DestructionW 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.
