Guide to Synergizing Xerath and Kha'Zix

Tips for Playing as Xerath with Kha'Zix

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.

Kha'Zix has a great deal of freedom to choose where and when to fight. Pick your battles carefully to succeed.
