Xerath vs Pyke

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) and (W) to poke and zone, denying Pyke's ADC easy wave access.
Control brush vision to prevent Pyke from hiding (Q) hook and setting picks.
Hold (E) stun to peel and protect ADC from Pyke's engage and execute threat.

Trading pattern

Poke with (Q) and slow with (W) to set safe trades and restrict Pyke's engage angles.
Hold (E) defensively to peel for ADC against Pyke's hook or follow-up.
Deny brush control to reduce Pyke's hook threat and force predictable positioning.

Danger windows

(Q) hook from brush or fog creates high pick threat; deny brush and maintain vision.
Pyke's level 2-3 kit enables strong engage and roam; avoid isolated ADC positioning and track roams.
Pyke's level 6 execute resets make fights messy; hold (E) to peel and protect ADC during these times.

Early game

Win level 2 race to avoid Pyke's combined hook and stun power spike.
Keep lane priority early to shield ADC from Pyke's brush angles and roam.
Use wave pressure to limit Pyke's roam windows and keep ADC safe.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks Pyke's hook plus stun; respect this by playing back unless ADC can follow.
Level 6 Pyke gains execute resets; track ultimate cooldown to avoid risky fights.
First completed mana/AP item boosts your poke and wave control; increase pressure then.

Win conditions

Convert poke pressure into ADC access by zoning Pyke and denying engage angles.
Set river vision around dragon to track Pyke roams and prevent mid pressure.
Use (R) ultimate for long-range follow-up on picks or safe disengage and resets.

Tip: For Xerath vs Pyke, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
