Thresh into Xerathmedium

Overview

Respect stun range and avoid overextending without or ready.
Beware ultimate post-level 6 for long-range poke and follow-up damage.
Xerath's poke is strongest when he controls brush and wave state denies your ADC access.

Win level 2 by landing + combo to set up ADC trades.
Deny Xerath brush control to limit his poke angles and create engage windows.
Coordinate wave crash with ADC before roaming to maintain lane safety and vision control.

Level 2 unlocks + combo, enabling strong engage and ADC follow-up.
Level 3 grants lantern for safer trades and extended poke windows.
Level 6 creates all-in threat and peel opportunities around ADC and river control.

Convert brush control and threat into picks to deny Xerath's ADC positioning.
Use lantern to enable aggressive trades and extend ganks or roams safely.
Set river vision and coordinate with ADC to secure dragon and favorable 2v2 fights.
