Guide to Countering Twisted Fate as Xerath

Tips for Playing as Xerath against Twisted Fate

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 Twisted Fate

Focus on dodging Wild Cards early when your champion doesn't have the hit points to afford getting hit.

If you have low Health, use Destiny as an indicator to run to safety. It will give you a head start in escaping any possible ganks.
