Tap any portrait to switch perspective
Who Wins
- You lose early trades levels 1-3 due to Xerath's superior range and poke damage.
- At level 6, you gain kill pressure with your ultimate's safety net, allowing for aggressive all-ins that Xerath struggles to escape.
How to Trade
- You should look for quick Q-E-auto trades when Xerath uses abilities on minions, then immediately back off.
- Extended trades favor Xerath due to his range advantage, so hit-and-run tactics are essential.
Wave Control
- You want to push early waves and roam since you cannot effectively trade in lane.
- Focus on clearing waves quickly with Q and looking for opportunities in river or other lanes rather than trying to farm passively.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must avoid trying to trade when Xerath has his stun available, as it leads to guaranteed extended poke.
- Never use your W aggressively without your ultimate up, as you have no escape if the engage fails.
