Learn how to play with Xerath with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Body-block engage paths toward Xerath during fights — he has no mobility of his own, and he's especially exposed while charging his Q since the 3-second channel slows him by up to 40%.
Team Fight Skirmish
Follow up the instant Xerath's E lands — the stun scales up to 2.25 seconds at max range, giving you a wide window to engage or burst the target.
Skirmish Team Fight
Peel for Xerath while he channels his R — moving cancels the channel, so he depends entirely on you to hold off attackers so he can land his full barrage.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
Xerath's long-range Q and W let him poke enemies down well before a fight starts — give him that window instead of forcing an engage the moment your team groups.
Basic Team Fight Late Game
Move in the moment Xerath's W lands — the slow reaches 60-80% at the epicenter before decaying to 25%, making it much easier to land your own skillshots or close the distance.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Place control wards near contested objectives — Xerath's R has global range, but he still needs vision on the target to use it effectively.
Team Fight
Force enemies into a straight line or a grouped position when possible — Xerath's Q travels in a line and his W hits an area, so tighter enemy positioning lets him land more damage in a single cast.
Advanced Team Fight
Xerath's level 6 spike gives him global pressure through his ultimate — expect him to help apply pressure or secure picks in other lanes once he hits it.
