Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Xerath's superior range and Tahm's ability to punish your short-range engages with W devour.
- Post-6 your R + Vayne R combination creates strong all-in potential, but requires perfect timing to avoid Tahm's peel.
Synergy & Trading
- Use E to engage when Xerath wastes Q on minions, immediately following up with W to reduce incoming damage while Vayne repositions.
- Focus on short, decisive trades rather than extended skirmishes where their sustain and range advantage becomes apparent.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push for early recalls and roam mid when Xerath backs, as your E mobility makes roaming more effective than sitting in a losing lane.
- Time roams around level 6-7 when your R can secure kills in other lanes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't E engage without confirming Tahm's W is on cooldown, as getting devoured mid-dash leaves you completely exposed.
- Avoid trading when low on mana as your W damage reduction is crucial for surviving their burst combo.
