How to play Xerath?
Hey everyone!
I've started playing
Xerath but I have no idea how to play him. I've read guides etc. but they seem to be outdated to just plain wrong. This is how I build:
Doran's Ring >
Haunting Guise >
Sorcerer's Shoes >
Athene's Unholy Grail >
Rabadon's Deathcap/
Void Staff >
Zhonya's Hourglass or
Banner of Command
I run 21/9/0 masteries usually and go with
Barrier and
Flash most of my games.
Ignite doesn't seem to be that good on him.
I run MPen marks, armor/mana reg seals, ap seals, ms/ap/mpen quints.

Exchange Cap with Hourglass when necessary. For example against
Continue with
against AP: doran--Chalice +2nd doran--Unholy Grail--Deathcap--hourglass
taking a hard lead: doran--2nd doran + Morellonomicon ASAP--Deathcap--- ask your support to buy MR aura for you
against ad: doran--seeker--2nd doran+ chalice(maybe hourglass depending on the match-up, like against Zed)--Grail--Deathcap...
Also, healing is very good for Xerath under current patch. I tried ghost but when you get ganked heal saves you much more than ghost. Heal will also help your jungler when he comes to gank/anti-gank
I max q>e>w
Magic pen is spectacular on
locus of power read dat magic pen
his ult cd is actually fairly short and he is super long range with the w, just remember you can't move. follow up the e with either a q or an ult for the stun. the ult can be cast 3 times and
