Seraphine vs Xerath

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use poke and sustain to enable your ADC's safe wave access against Xerath's artillery poke.
Deny Xerath's engage angle by controlling bot-side brush and maintaining river vision.
Hold (R) for multi-target follow-up after your ADC's slows or roots to punish clustered enemies.

Trading pattern

Poke with (Q) and layer (E) after your ADC applies slows to maximize root and peel.
Save empowered (W) to shield your ADC during Xerath's long-range poke or engage attempts.
Hold (R) until your ADC commits to fights, then use it to charm clustered enemies for follow-up.

Danger windows

Respect (E) stun as his main peel and engage tool; avoid overextending without cooldowns.
Avoid clustering with your ADC during (R) ultimate to reduce charm follow-up risk.
Watch for Xerath's poke burst after he completes his first mana/AP item; shield and sustain accordingly.

Early game

Track level 2 to pair (Q) poke with ADC slows or roots for strong trades.
Secure brush control early to limit Xerath's poke angles and protect your ADC.
Coordinate wave crash timing with your ADC before roaming to avoid exposing them to Xerath's poke.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your poke and root setup; use it to pressure Xerath and enable ADC trades.
Level 3 grants full kit with (W) shield; prioritize trades with brush control and ADC follow-up.
Level 6 (R) allows multi-target charm; use it with your ADC's engage or peel for decisive fights.

Win conditions

Convert poke and shield pressure into ADC access denial and forced recalls for dragon setup.
Use wave crashes to create safe roam windows with vision control around river and mid.
Leverage your ultimate in grouped fights with your ADC's slows or roots to secure kills and teamfight advantage.
