Twisted Fate vs Xerath

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Twisted Fate must manage wave control to enable safe Gold Card threat and avoid Xerath's poke.
Use medium lane pressure to deny Xerath's safe scaling and create roam opportunities with R.

Trading pattern

Use Q and autos to control the wave and threaten short trades only when Gold Card is selected.
Punish Xerath when Xerath E is on cooldown or missed by stepping forward with Gold Card.
Avoid trading while Xerath is charging Xerath Q or when Xerath E is available for stun.

Danger windows

When Gold Card is not ready, avoid all-in range to prevent Xerath E stun setups.
Xerath's E stun is a key threat; respect its cooldown and positioning.
Be cautious when Xerath is charging Xerath Q or using Xerath R for follow-up poke.

Early game

Prioritize pushing or freezing to keep wave on your side and limit Xerath's poke angles.
Avoid extended trades without Gold Card ready to prevent getting stunned by Xerath E.
Use Q to clear waves efficiently and prepare for level 6 roam timings.

Power spikes

Level 6 R unlocks global pressure and pick potential.
First completed AP or utility item increases trading and roaming threat.
Respect Xerath's level 6 Xerath R and first mana/AP item spike for poke damage.

Win conditions

Control the wave to enable safe Gold Card setups and timely roams with R.
Punish Xerath's immobility and skillshot reliance by capitalizing on missed Xerath E.
Use R to create numbers advantage in side lanes and snowball leads through picks.
