How to Play with Xerath as Nami in LoL

The Nami Xerath synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Xerath, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Nami sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Xerath. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Xerath helps Nami perform not as well in ranked LoL matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Nami plays on the same team as Xerath, she gets a barely noticable drop in her complete damage output. This change could signal that Xerath doesn't help protection for her to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Nami is played alongside Xerath on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Xerath. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Xerath.

Additionally, when Nami plays with Xerath on the same side, she often takes a little more damage than when she plays alone. Receiving more damage could indicate that Xerath does a poor job of protecting Nami in team fights.

Is Nami better when played alongside Xerath?

There is no universally accepted best ally for Nami that will always be her best ally. However, Xerath is a decent companion for Nami. By locking into the same side as Nami, he improves their win rate by 1.6% to 50.7%. This proves that there is a good bond between Nami and Xerath that allows them to perform stronger together than alone.

Xerath has a greater difficulty than Nami. That means you need to be very careful when enlisting Xerath comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Fighting alongside, Nami players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to to do a lot of AP damage. Together, these two can blast through enemies with magic damage.

In contrast, by bringing Nami and Xerath together, you probably will not be giving your other teammates much AD. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that fills this disparity in their kit.

Regardless of the skill of your Xerath teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
