This shows that there is a somewhat important synergy between Janna and Xerath that allows them to perform better together than alone.

Xerath has a greater difficulty than Janna. That means Janna players must be very careful when finding Xerath allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Fighting alongside, Janna players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. Together, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Although, by grouping Janna and Xerath together, you probably will not be granting your other allies very much sustained damage output. Plan to pick other champions on your team that offsets this disparity in their playstyle.

Regardless of your Xerath ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
