Guide to Synergizing Nidalee and Xerath

Tips for Playing as Nidalee with Xerath

Use brush to your advantage! Moving in and out of brush can heavily alter your effectiveness in battle.

Start team fights by harassing with your Javelin Toss, and then switch to cougar form to chase down Hunted targets.

Bushwhack traps deal damage based on their victim's current Health. Set them up in your team's backline before fights break out during sieges to help your team deal damage to the enemy frontline.

Advice to Understand How Xerath Will Play

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.

Working alongside, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. Combined, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
