Introduction

Hi,
i just bought Xerath and played him just once, but i saw that there is no guide for him and here is the first guide for him! :D

Runes

Sorcery

Phase Rush

Nothing else. Must have for an AP Nuker

Runes

Sorcery

Phase Rush

Just as Phreak said AP/lvl seals to give a great amount of AP endgame.

space

Mana regen/lvl because i sometimes felt out of mana.

Runes

Sorcery

Phase Rush

Again more AP/lvl for more AP.

space

Endgame i just felt that i have to high CD on my skills.

Runes

Precision

Fleet Footwork

Flat AP gives you a lot of AP early game

space

MPen for better Endgamedamage

Masteries

Masteries

OFFENSE TREE

space

Just some standart caster masteries, nothing special.

Tier 1 - 3 in and 1 in .

Tier 2 - 4 in . It gives you early CDR

Tier 3 - . The main reason on offensive tree. Gives you much MPen early game.

UTILITY TREE

Tier 1 - 3 in or depends on what you like more.

Tier 2 - gives you some Manaregen. You get less Mana easy and this helps you a bit to prevent it. additional swifness boost your Movementspeed a bit but you don't need this much MS because of your super longe range Skills.

Tier 3 - 3 in gives you some Spellvamp. 1 in for every kind of buffs. Take Mana Buff as often as you can.

Tier 4 - 3 in bonus experience.

Tier 5 - 3 points in for some extra extra CDR.

Tier 6 - and the last point obviously in which gives you 15% less cooldown on your Summoner Spells.

Summoner Spells

I always pick.

is THE escape skill once is useless since every new hero got a 90% slow.
gives you an other damage skill which improve your nuke damage.

optional:

gives you great mobility and map control.
watch Phreak's Spotlight

Items

There are some viable items to start

I almost start with which gives me a nice amount of AP, mana regen and HP early game. With your long range skills are not necessary but you can also took them if you face , or mid to dogde there stuns or you just pick which helps you a lot against caster.

Early Game:
Catalyst the Protector
optional

On your first trip back try to buy , which gives you a little bit of everything you need. If you do well and get some kills get and buy afterwards. Upgrade your into and start building you or .

Mid Game:

Finish either or depending on the other enemies team. Than the other.

Late Game:

Grab needless large rod and upgrade to either an . If they got more than 2 AD carries grab .
If the other team stacks MR grab a and it will be kay.

Optional items:

Will of the Ancients gives you spellvamp which is very useful to keep your health up, but should only be bought when there are several casters on your team.
Deathfire Grasp Many tanky HP stackers on the other team? Take this!
Quicksilver Sash very useful against heavy CC team.
Guardian Angel gives you armor and magic resist. With your already huge health pool, you should gain a LOT of survivability!
Frozen Heart very good against physical teams and also gives slow for your AOE skills.
Thornmail let the auto attackers kill themself!

Jungle

I already told that i'm playing him just once, so i haven't play him as a jungler yet but i'm sure i will one day. If you want to try him as a jungler:
