Xerath tips and tricks

Stand as far back as possible and use your range advantage to harass and poke the enemy laners down.

Delay a team fight as long as possible while you try to poke the enemy down with your abilities. Look to fight when the enemy is low.

Prioritize using your Arcanopulse Q and Eye of Destruction W when the enemy is inside the minion wave. This will help you push the wave and poke them at the same time.
