Who Wins
- You win early 1v1s levels 1-3 through Q harass and superior burst damage in extended trades.
- At level 6, you have a significant advantage with R providing guaranteed execute potential while Xerath relies on landing multiple skillshots.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q-W combo when he steps up, then use E to disengage or extend the trade depending on positioning.
- Look for Q-E stun setups when he's channeling Q, as he's immobile and vulnerable during the cast time.
Wave Control
- Control the wave by maintaining it slightly on your side to create all-in opportunities while denying his escape routes.
- Avoid hard pushing unless you can crash and reset, as Xerath excels at farming safely under tower with his range advantage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E defensively unless absolutely necessary, as it's your primary engage tool and has a long cooldown early game.
- Avoid chasing him into unwarded areas where his team might be positioned, as his superior range makes him dangerous in skirmishes even when behind.
