How to Beat Xavier — Strategy

Xavier is a mage. The same strategic principles that beat mages in general apply to Xavier specifically:

1. Force them out of mana — most mages run dry under sustained pressure.
2. Stack magic resist (Athena's, Radiant Armor) in the second item slot.
3. Dive when their key skills are on cooldown — most mages have a 6-15s rotation gap.
4. Avoid clumping in lane — most mage damage is AoE.
