Yuumi vs Xerath

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Prioritize attaching to your ADC to maximize sustain and poke in extended fights against Xerath's poke lane.
Deny Xerath's poke by controlling brush and positioning to limit his (Q) and (W) angles.
Use your (R) root to enable ADC follow-up or disengage when Xerath commits his ultimate for safety.

Trading pattern

Stay attached to your ADC for healing and speed boosts during trades to outlast Xerath's poke.
Hold (R) for peel or root when Xerath or his ADC tries to engage, enabling your ADC's follow-up or safe disengage.
Use (Q) poke through brush control windows to pressure Xerath and create ADC access denial.

Danger windows

Respect (E) stun as it creates high vulnerability for your ADC; avoid detaching when it's available.
Avoid extended fights when (R) ultimate is active without confirmed ADC follow-up or safe disengage.
Beware of Xerath's poke and slow from (Q) and (W) that can zone your ADC away from the wave or engage angles.

Early game

Track level 2 carefully and only contest wave if your ADC can follow your attach sustain.
Maintain brush control to reduce Xerath's poke angles and protect your ADC's access to the wave.
Avoid detaching near (E) stun cooldown to prevent exposing your ADC to crowd control.

Power spikes

Level 2 attach sustain unlocks your lane presence; use it to support your ADC's trades safely.
Level 3 full kit access enables stronger poke and speed boosts; coordinate with your ADC for brush control trades.
Level 6 (R) provides root waves that can lock down targets for your ADC's all-in or disengage plays.

Win conditions

Convert lane sustain and poke into ADC access by keeping your ADC healthy and enabling aggressive positioning.
Deny enemy ADC positioning by rooting key targets with (R) during extended fights or skirmishes.
Use wave state and brush control to set up vision around dragon and create safe roam windows for your ADC.
