Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Xerath's superior range and consistent poke damage overwhelming your burst windows.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R, but Janna's shields and disengage still make it difficult to secure kills.
Synergy & Trading
- Land Q on Xerath when he steps up to farm or poke, then follow with E-R combo for maximum damage.
- Coordinate with Nasus W to ensure your skillshots connect reliably.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You shouldn't roam often as Nasus needs protection from Xerath poke and your wave clear is needed to prevent tower damage.
- Only roam when Nasus can safely farm under tower with E.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q trying to catch Janna as she can easily dodge with movement speed and has multiple disengage tools.
- Missing Q leaves you vulnerable to Xerath's full combo without any response.
