Cheers and good luck!

She's not easy, but mastery of her is well worth the time investment.

Both are hard to play, but I'm sure you'll train hard to be a good player with your choice

I bought Cassiopeia some weeks ago, and she's really a great pick. Her passive is awesome, you hardly use all your mana. Her poison really annoys enemies and she makes total difference during teamfights

I've played as Xerath at my friend's house, and he's a good pick too. He gets free range and MPen boost, the damage is high and he can fight from a safe distance

The difference is that Cassiopeia has DoT and Xerath has burst, choose the one you prefer

I think a mastered Cass might well be one of the scariest AP champs in the game.

Cassiopeia is strong pretty much the whole game, but she is like mordekaiser and some other champions, she is pretty squishy, and has no escapes.

She does pretty much the most damage of any champion in the entire game if she can stay alive longer than 5 seconds however.

She can kite while casting because of Q's MS buff.


Xerath is really safe because of his range, and his passive armor boost(They might change that?), his damage and kill potential is high, but if you don't stun someone with your combo, his kit is really outshined by other mages.

Both Xerath and Cassiopeia farm really well with their spells, both are really strong with blue buff, but can manage without it, and both are really strong and "safe" mage picks, in that neither of them have really strong counter picks.

I personally prefer Cassiopeia, because she has a fun item build, but I've played both of them, and Xerath is really fun as well.
Tri lane for life.

Make no mistake about it, Cass has savage burst too.
