Welcome to my Guide for Xerath. I'm Benciak and I main of Botlane role, I especially like to play Lucian or Caitlyn. My peak elo is Platinum III.I created this guide to make a huge Xerath guide for new players.. I hope you will learn something about him. Please read the Notes in runes, items and champions threatens / synergies, because I explain there why you should sometimes pick those things over other. I found him really interesting because of his fast burst ability. Xerath range on skills is enormous. I love his ultimate that has 5 shots in late game and broken dmg with over 1050ap on full build.

In early game as Xerath try to poke your enemies with your Q and W it makes you really annoying for your enemies and because of your passive you can do it all the time. When you have used your ability just auto attack your enemy to recover some mana. Xerath is really late game champion and his true power shows after 20 minutes ingame. Remember to start your combo with W and then stun your enemy with your E to use your Q on stunned target. Then just run away to end your enemy with your Ultimate or just run and wait for cooldowns to go down.

Mana Surge Xerath periodically empowers his next basic attack to restore 30 − 195 (based on level) mana, doubled to 60 − 390 (based on level) against enemy champions. Mana Surge does not trigger if Xerath would restore above his maximum mana. It helps you stay on lane longer and because of your poke abilities it makes you really annoying for your enemies. If you hit champions you recovre twice more mana then hitting minions so remember when you are low on mana just auto attack enemy champion.
