Guide to Synergizing Draven and Xerath

Tips for Playing as Draven with Xerath

If Draven doesn't move, Spinning Axe will fall near his present location. It will fall directly on him, or just to the right or left.

If Draven does move after attacking, Spinning Axe will lead him in the direction of his movement. Use this to control where the Spinning Axe will go.

Advice to Understand How Xerath Will Play

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.

This change may demonstrate that Xerath does not provide cover for him to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Draven is played together with Xerath on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Xerath.

Is Draven better when played alongside Xerath?

There is no one best synergy for Draven that will 100% of the time be his ideal teammate. However, overall, Xerath is a very typical teammate for Draven. By locking into the same team as Draven, he raises their win rate by 0.8% to 50.5%. This shows that there is not really a strong synergy between Draven and Xerath that results in them performing stronger together than without each other.

Xerath has a lower difficulty than Draven. That means Draven players don't need to be very careful when arranging Xerath allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.

When playing cooperatively, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. Together, these champions can blast through enemies with magic damage.

Although, by bringing Draven and Xerath together, you will not be providing your other teammates a great deal of cover. Make sure to include other champs on your team that helps cover this relative disparity in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of your Xerath ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
