Who Wins
- You win pre-6 due to your E shield negating Lux Q-E poke and your Q disrupting their engage attempts.
- Post-6 remains favorable as your R can counter Nasus all-ins while your shield still blocks Lux burst.
Synergy & Trading
- Use E on Xerath when he steps up to Q poke, then follow with W slow on whoever they focus.
- Your Q should be held to interrupt Lux Q or disengage from Nasus if he gets close.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam frequently after level 3, especially when Xerath has wave control and can safely farm.
- Look for roams when the enemy wave is pushing toward you or when Xerath recalls.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q aggressively for poke as it's your only disengage tool against Nasus engage.
- Getting caught without Q up against their crowd control chain means certain death.
