Tips for Playing as Irelia with Xerath

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.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Xerath.

Is Irelia better when played alongside Xerath?

There is no perfect champion pairing for Irelia that will always be her top teammate. Yet, overall, Xerath is a very typical companion for Irelia. By playing on the same team as Irelia, he improves their win rate by 0.7% to 50.5%. This clearly indicates that there is not really a strong synergy between Irelia and Xerath that results in them performing at the top of their game together than alone.

Xerath has a greater difficulty than Irelia. That means you must be very careful when lining up Xerath teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to do well with you.

Working together, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magic damage. Together, these two can blast through enemies with magic damage.

Although, by bringing Irelia and Xerath together, you probably will not be providing your side a great deal of cover. Plan to have other champs on your team that helps cover this relative disparity in their playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Xerath ally, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
