While statistically Twisted Fate is slightly stronger than Xerath in the mid lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
The magic damage that Twisted Fate deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Xerath deals primarily magic damage (95.53%), additional magic resistance may be required.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Xerath, ranking 16th (versus 52nd for Twisted Fate) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (3.1 versus 2.4) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Twisted Fate player to maintain constant pressure on Xerath, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
