1. Introduction
Welcome in my first MobaGuide ever which fill be based on the new champion, Xerath The Magus Ascendant. The aim of this guide is to create, with you summoners, a list of the most operating builds existing for this champion. AS A CONSEQUENCE : all comments are welcome but i'd like to ask you to keep polite and be respectful of the skill and knowledge of everyone (Mine in particular, i'm everything but a pro!!!) Please, keep all comments focused on the improvement of this guide.
Xerath is a very fun champion to play, his amazing range (thx to Locus of PowerLocus of Power) can become really annoying for your opponents as far as you use a correct Item build/Skill sequence.
My Rune choice is totally arbitrary, don't forget to post your suggestions !
9
- Greater Mark of Insight : Basic magic penetration, i don't think any one is going to complain about this one.9
- Greater Seal of Resillience : I choose those ones in order to prevent AD junglers from ganking me in early game. Basically a life insurance for early games. (SUGGESTIONS GUYS!)9
- Greater glyph of Focus : Quite usefull to be able to double Arcanopulse on a single Locus of Power Locus of power CD in early game. Basically, you can't avoid those ones as far as I'm concerned.3
- Greater Quintessence of Potency : Quite obvious, AP is needed.I will Post alternative Rune builds once you'll suggest them to me !
Team 1
Build 1
In this build, I'll start with a Doran's Ring. Then I'll get my Boots of speed and a second Doran's Ring on my first back. Then I finish my Sorecerer's shoes and get a Giant's belt in order to get some PVs and to prepare my future Rylai. Then comes Fiendish Codex for shorter CDR and mana regen which will be the key to harass your lane's opponents. In the mid game, finish your Rylai's crystal scepter [Want to never miss on the stun? Please!, cromagnumpi] and get your Will of the ancients. In the late game come your Void Staff, a Needlessly Large Rod and finish your Morello's Evil Tome. Eventually for ultimate AP get you final Rabadon's Deathcap.

Free of flesh and bone, Xerath held nearly infinite power at his command. However, in the wake of his chaotic ritual, the mages of Shurima feared his careless disregard for life would bring ruin to the kingdom. After a terrible struggle they subdued Xerath, but they could not destroy his ascended form. Instead they trapped him within an enchanted sarcophagus and sealed him in an underground tomb. Eons passed, civilizations rose and fell, and Xerath's imprisonment was lost to memory. For centuries, Xerath's vast power tore away at the sarcophagus and weakened its spell. Finally, he willed forth a burst of magic that shattered his prison, but its core remained, containing Xerath and his power within its broken pieces. Seeking to rid himself of this burden, he was drawn to the magic of Valoran's nexuses and found he could absorb their power. Yet the nexuses had gatekeepers: petty mages known as summoners. Xerath knew his key to true freedom from his prison lay in gaining their trust, and he offered his power to the League of Legends.
