Learn how to play with Xerath with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Position yourself between Xerath and enemy engage paths during teamfights. His lack of mobility makes him vulnerable to champions who can close the gap quickly, especially while he's charging his Q which slows him down.
Team Fight Skirmish
Follow up immediately when Xerath lands his E stun, which can last up to 2.25 seconds at maximum range. This provides a generous window to land your own abilities or engage on the disabled target.
Skirmish Team Fight
When Xerath begins channeling his R, position yourself to protect him as he's completely immobile and vulnerable. Enemies often target him during this channel, so your protection ensures he can deliver maximum damage from super long range.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
Xerath excels at poking enemies before objectives with his long-range Q and W. Allow him time to whittle down opponents before forcing a fight to gain a significant advantage in the upcoming battle.
Basic Team Fight Late Game
Capitalize when Xerath lands his W slow (up to 80% in the center). This 2.5-second window is perfect for landing your own skillshots or closing the gap on enemies who will struggle to dodge.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Place Control Wards in brushes near objectives before fights. With his R's super long range (5000 units), Xerath can impact fights from safety but needs vision to be effective at landing his shots.
Team Fight
Position yourself to force enemies into straight paths for Xerath's Q or grouped positions for his W. This positioning maximizes his damage output in teamfights and makes his abilities harder to dodge.
Advanced Team Fight
Xerath's level 6 power spike provides significant global pressure through his ultimate. Coordinate plays with him when he reaches this milestone to secure objectives or force advantages in other lanes.
Lane Phase Team Fight
Xerath's Q and W provide excellent waveclear once he has a few levels. Coordinate with him to quickly clear waves and create roaming opportunities or vision control before objective fights.
