Introduction
(Xerath costs 6300 IP)
For runes I have decided to pick up flat Warding runes which provide extra Magic Resist. Otherwise Xerath is just too squishy against other mid's such as Karthus and Morgana. Finally I get ability power Quints so that I can be outputting as much damage as possible at the end of the game. Also I don't feel the need to take more Magic Resist Runes because it wouldn't add that much more to the build. However feel free to adjust this rune setup to your liking.
For Masteries I take 20, 3 and 7. By forming this build I get the sufficient damage output that I want in the first tree without picking up extras that are not needed. Then I proceed to get more Magic Resist and a boost to my heal spell. Finally in the Utility tree I pick up extra mana per level, and mana regen while also boosting the summoner spell flash. Again feel free to adjust these as you see fit, depending on the way you like to play. I might suggest that in some cases you would want to go with good health regen which I don't have if you are playing against a very good burst champion.
In items I go for Boots at the very start as well as three Health Pots. Then I start on my build getting Rabadon's and the Rylai's. Then I will get Sorcerer's Shoes, much later than in must other builds. Then I pick up Rod of Ages and Void Staff for extra late game power. If the game is going any particular way then you can always swap out the Rod of Ages for Zhonya's hourglass. Also remember if you are having a hard time in lane when you recall pick up extra Health Pots. But only do this if you have already used up all of your Pots that you already have and your Summoner Heal.
To summerise Xerath is one of the most underrated and under used champions in League of Legends and I want him to be broadcast out there to many more people. Give him a go and see what you think of him and this build and I will be very happy to accept any pointers or criticisms in the comments below. Please remember this was my first ever guide so tell me if I got anything wrong so that I may change it rather then just voting down this guide.
