Read from Lulu's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Xerath.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Xerath | Xerath's level-1 charged Arcanopulse hugely out-ranges your Glitterlance. |
| Level 2 | Xerath | At 2 his Q plus Eye of Destruction slow zone you off the wave and chunk you. |
| Level 3 | Xerath | Level 3 his full poke rotation controls the lane at range you can't contest. |
| Levels 4-5 | Xerath | Through 4-5 he keeps poking safely while you only shield and heal. |
| Level 6 | Xerath | His level-6 Rite of the Arcane threatens long-range picks on your ADC. |
| First item | Xerath | First item turns his artillery poke into genuine kill pressure. |
| Two+ items | Lulu | With 2+ items your mobility and CC finally reach his escape-less kit and invert the lane. |
Xerath's level-1 charged Arcanopulse out-ranges your entire kit; his Q and Eye of Destruction poke you for far more than Glitterlance answers, so hug minions, hold Help, Pix! (E) for his Q, and just keep your ADC healthy. His charged poke out-ranges your entire kit, so stop contesting and put the shield on the chip instead. Hold your carry away from the firing line. Save the polymorph for the moment his stun lands, and let his own mana bill rather than your poke wear him down.
