Introduction

Welcome to my Xerath Guide.
In this Guide I will teach you about the master of Thunder.
I hope you Like my Guide about Xerath, the Magus Ascendant
Please write a Comment so I can see what I can do better.
In the ancient civilization of Shurima, the mage called
Xerath practiced magic with undying passion. He believed that with enough magical power, he could gaze into the heart of Runeterra to know the secrets of history and the universe beyond. Such magic was beyond the limitations of a mortal body, but
Xerath obsessively pursued a path to infinite power nonetheless. With every breakthrough he grew more and more powerful, yet not without consequence.
Xerath's increasing arcane abilities wrought havoc on his physical form. Desperate, he undertook a dangerous ritual to transcend his dying body. The outcome would be immortality or self-destruction. Violent magic unleashed during the ritual caused devastation throughout Shurima, but when the dust settled,
Xerath emerged as an ascended being of pure arcane energy.
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.
'I have no need for vengeance. Time has brought ruin to the mages of Shurima and I alone remain.' -

Marks:
. Why?: Evry AP Carry at the Midlane need it when his Enemy have some Magic Resist because he have some
runes.
Seals:
. Why?: 9x 1.8 Ap=16,2 Ap in the Endgame more. And this Runes are good because
Xerath´s Passiv Ascended Form (+2.43 Armor)
Glyphs:
. Why? Because evrybody at the Midlane need some Start AP. And this Runes give
Xerath 10,8 AP.
Quintessence:
. Why? Because you always need 14,85 AP in the Early game. (Glyph Ap + Quintessence Ap=25,05 Ap in the Earlygame)

Quintessence:

Ascended Form
(Passiv)
-Xerath receives 15% of his ability power as bonus armor.
Realy usefull Passiv when you play versus a Team with
Master Yi or Xin Zaho
With my build you receive at level 18 67 Extra Armor.
(His Q-Spell) Active:
Xerath fires a long-range beam of energy in a line, dealing 75 / 115 / 155 / 195 / 235 (+60% of ability power) magic damage to all targets hit. A very usefull Attack.
You should Max it first
Locus of Power
(His W-Spell) Active:
Xerath anchors himself to the ground he is standing on for up to 8 seconds, increasing the range of all his spells by 400.
Passiv:
It Granting him 16 / 22 / 28 / 34 / 40% bonus magic penetration. Upon disabling this ability,
Xerath gains 35% movement speed for 2 seconds. He can deactivate the ability at any time after 0.5 seconds of casting it. Its my personal Favorite.
Take a Point eraly but Max it last.
Mage Chains
(His E-Skill) Active:
Deals 70 / 120 / 170 / 220 / 270 (+80% of ability power) magic damage to an enemy and marks them with Unstable Magic for 3 seconds.

The next spell
Xerath strikes this enemy with in these 3 seconds will stun them for 1.5 seconds. I take a point early and maximize it as a second.
(His R-Skill) Ultimate:
After a .5 second delay,
Xerath calls down a blast of arcane energy, dealing 125 / 200 / 275 (+60% of ability power) magic damage to all enemies in an area. May be cast another two times with no cost within the next 12 seconds before going on cooldown. Like evry Ultimate I take a Point at Lv 6,lv 11 and 16.

Your Endgame Items are:
Earlygame: Minute 0-15
Best you start with buying a
Amplifying Tome and 1x
Health Potion.
When you have enough Farm you should be able to buy Kage's Lucky Pick. The best way to use this item is if you long back keeps. When you have enough Gold you buy
Boots and another
Amplifying Tome. The next important Item you should buy is
Tear of the Goddess. So you get more and more mana evry time you use a spell. Kind of a big deal. The last items you should buy in the early-game are
Blasting Wand and Catalyst the Protector. Because you need Ap and some Health/Mana for the Mid-game.
Midgame: Minute 15-30
You first Item for the Midgame is
Rod of Ages. Because you will get evry minute extra Health/Mana/Ap and Armor (Dont forget
Xeraths passiv Ascended Form) After you've farmed a bit its time for 1
Blasting Wand and a
Giant's Belt. For some extra health and Ap. When you reach minute 30 it is so ****ing important that you bought
Rylai's Crystal Scepter!!!!!
Endgame : Minute 30-°°
Endgame time!!!
Go farm until you have enough money to buy
Needlessly Large Rod and one more
Blasting Wand. You can now upgrade you
Blasting Wand and the [Tear of the Goddess to
Archangel's Staff. After you buoght another
Blasting Wand you should save your money. And then....When you have 1140 Gold you can buy
Rabadon's Deathcap. And finaly then you can upgrade you Kage's Lucky Pick
to
Morello's Evil Tome. Its important for
Xerath because you need some cooldown and the Active Bonus of this Item is nice against Champions like
Dr. Mundo
Hope this will Help you to dominate the Midlane.
