I'm ParkChnm.


Pros
- High damage
- Extremely safe
- High range
- Burst
- Very little hard matches
Cons
- Bad if you can't land skillshots
- No mobility
- Low damage without items
- Squishy
Focus on farming as with most champions. Poke when your


Mid Game as Xerath
Continue to wave clear and try to keep your turret alive. Help your team with Herald or Dragon if possible. Stay in the backline in skirmishes and try to poke them down before going all in. When you're safe to finish everything off, use your ult to kill if necessary.
Late Game
Make sure that you're never in the frontline in fights and try to focus the ADC or Mid laner. Xerath has extreme damage output late game with enough items and you should be able to one shot any squishy with one combo. Just remember if you're too close, you will absolutely get one shot and die.

Precision

With the new change to Presence of Mind, gain mana regeneration upon hitting an enemy, alongside it's original effect as well, I think it's a much better option to choose over the Inspiration Tree. |
![]() |
Probably the only other rune worth going on the Precision Tree since everything else doesn't have too much of an effect on Xerath. |
