Guide to Synergizing Xerath and Lee Sin

Tips for Playing as Xerath with Lee Sin

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.

Advice to Understand How Lee Sin Will Play

Take advantage of Flurry by weaving in basic attacks between spell casts - this maximizes damage output and minimizes Energy loss.

Self-casting Safeguard and using Iron Will are powerful tools for killing neutral monsters (in the jungle).

Use Sonic Wave before Dragon's Rage so you can chase the target with Resonating Strike.
