Guide to Countering Quinn as Xerath

Tips for Playing as Xerath against Quinn

If you stun an enemy with Shocking Orb, follow up with a guaranteed center hit on Eye of Destruction.

It's easier to land Arcanopulse on an enemy when they're moving toward or away from you, rather than side to side.

Eye of Destruction will make landing Arcanopulse easier as the target will be slowed.

Advice to Win Against Quinn

After being marked, move away from Quinn so she can't take advantage of it.

Keep tabs on Quinn's position. Behind Enemy Lines can enable Valor to cross the map very quickly and attack you by surprise.

When Quinn is using Behind Enemy Lines, damaging her removes her Move Speed bonus temporarily.
