Xerath Build Guide
Xerath is a long-range mid laner built around poking from afar, and he’s posting strong numbers right now: a 51.89% winrate with a 4.48% pickrate on patch 16.13.1. The lane data also shows he can slot into support without much trouble. For this champion, Arcane Comet is the obvious rune choice, since it layers bonus burst onto abilities that already reach a long way.
The recommended build starts with Luden’s Echo, then Shadowflame and Rabadon’s Deathcap, all aimed at boosting burst and ability power for the biggest possible damage. Level abilities in the order Q, W, E, with Arcanopulse getting attention early for chipping opponents and clearing waves. Complete rune pages, item sequencing, and matchup breakdowns follow below.
