How to play it

✓

Dodge his E

His E is his main CC: sit at your range ready to dodge it, or get very close where it stuns less.

✓

Punish his Q charge

He's slowed while charging Q: R→Flash or W→Flash in when he overextends.

✓

Win the mana war

If he autos minions you can reach him; if he doesn't, you get full push and he runs dry: but if he autos you, you win the trade.

✕

Never try to all-in or outtrade a skilled Xerath: he simply outranges you.
