Hello. This is my guide of how to play Xerath. If everything is done correctly you will be able to kill anyway with little hassle. READ THE GAME PLAY SECTION IT WILL HELP YOU FORMULATE YOUR BUILD AND HELP YOU WIN THE GAME FOR YOUR TEAM.

When i am laning i harass a lot. You should do this too. Take Arcanopulse and aim it at your enemy poking at them every now and then. you can further the harassment by using Mage Chains on your opponent and then a quick Arcanopulse for the stun. If you do this successfully your opponent(s) will have to go back and will cause them to be underfed. This will greatly benefit your team and may help you win the game.

OK. For Marks i take 9 Greater marks of Insight for the magic penetration.Trust me it comes in handy. Next i put in 9 Greater seals of Replenishment for early game harassment. For glyphs i use 9 Great glyphs of Potency for the ap also for early game. Finally for quintessences i have 3 Greater Quintessences of Potency for even more early game advantage.

In Masteries i use 21-0-9. In the Offensive coloumn i take ability power all the way down picking up cooldown reduction and extra damage to enemies below 40% health helping pick up some kills. I dont touch the defense coloumn. Then in the Utility coloumn i take mana, mana regen and 1 point in spell vamp.

My chosen summoner spells are Flash and Ignite. I have Flash with me to make good escapes or to shorten the distance between an enemy with low health. Ignite is self-explanitory but i use it on enemys with low health to finish off a kill if i dont think i can catch up. Together they work to kill enemys.


Ghost could be a substitution for flash but i highly recommend keeping Ignite.

Ok so this was my guide. Atleast try it before you vote. If you think something is needed im up to talk about it.
