Guide to Synergizing Xerath and Elise

Tips for Playing as Xerath with Elise

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 Understand How Elise Will Play

Spider Form is most effective at finishing off enemies with low health; Human Form's Neurotoxin does more damage to healthy foes.

Elise's Spider Form and Spider Form abilities do not cost mana and can be prioritized when you are trying to conserve mana.

When in Spider Form, Spiderlings will attack the target that Elise uses Venomous Bite on.

How to Play with Elise as Xerath in LoL

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

Overall, Xerath sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Elise. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Elise helps Xerath perform worse in ranked League games. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.

When Xerath tries to synergize with Elise, he sees a little decrease in his full damage dealt. This difference may signal that Elise does not help protection for him to deal more damage or that her presence on the team also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Xerath is played alongside Elise on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Elise.

Additionally, when Xerath plays with Elise on the same team, he often receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may indicate that Elise does a decent job of covering Xerath during team fights.

Is Xerath better when played alongside Elise?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Xerath that will always be his #1 ally. However, Elise is a relatively poor teammate for Xerath. By playing on the same team as Xerath, she lowers their win rate by -2.1% to 48.5%. This shows that there is a bad strategic relationship between Xerath and Elise that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Elise has a greater difficulty than Xerath. That means you need to be very careful when arranging Elise allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to fight well with you.

Playing on the same side, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. Combined, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

In contrast, by bringing Xerath and Elise together, you probably will not be granting your other teammates much sustained damage output. Plan to pick other champs on your team that offsets this relative hole in their playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Elise ally, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
