Pro and Con

Abilites
| Passive - Mana Surge | Every 12 seconds, Xerath's next basic attack will restore Mana. The amount of Mana restored is doubled if the attack target is a champion. |
| Q - Arcanopulse | Begin Charging: Xerath begins charging an arcane beam, slowing himself gradually up to 50%. Release: Xerath fires the beam, dealing magic damage. The range increases with time charged. |
| W - Eye of Destruction | Xerath calls down a blast of arcane energy, dealing magic damage and slowing them by 25% for 2.5 seconds. Enemies in the center take more magic damage and are slowed by 60-80%, decaying over the same duration. |
| E - Shocking Orb | Xerath fires an orb of raw magic, stunning the first enemy hit for up to 0.75−2.25 seconds depending on distance travelled, and dealing magic damage. |
| R - Rite of the Arcane | Xerath ascends to his true form and channels for 10 seconds. During this time he may Recast 3 / 4 / 5 times. Recast: Xerath launches a magical artillery, dealing magic damage. |
