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

LeBlanc is a difficult target as she deals burst damage. Use Shocking Orb [E] instantly when she closes in with Distortion (W) before reaching level 6. Bring Cleanse to be free from Ethereal Chains (E), or simply push lane first as LeBlanc has a hard time pushing lane. We recommend farming safely than overextending to get a kill.
