Tips for playing as the champion Xerath

◊ It's easier to land Arcanopulse on an enemy when they're moving toward or away from you, rather than side to side.

◊ Eye of Destruction will make landing Arcanopulse easier as the target will be slowed.

◊ If you stun an enemy with Shocking Orb, follow up with a guaranteed center hit on Eye of Destruction.

Tips for playing against the champion Xerath

◊ Xerath's range can be intimidating, but most champions who close distance with him can trade favorably.

◊ Xerath takes a long time to engage Rite of the Arcane. Watch for his spellcast animation and start dodging.

◊ Banshee's Veil will make it much harder for Xerath to land Shocking Orb on you.
