Xavier is static and dies to a committed dive. Heavy crowd control on a hero who cannot escape it.

Stealth from bush to bush means he never sees the opener, and silence stops the combo from a hero with no escape at all.

BEST TEAMMATES
HOW TO PLAY XAVIER
Positioning is everything. Stay at the maximum possible range. Use your S1+S2 combo to create a barrier that immobilizes multiple enemies. Your Ultimate is global; use it to clear waves in other lanes, steal objectives, or finish off low-HP enemies. Always try to stay in your Transcendence state (purple bar) to maximize your damage and reduce cooldowns.
HOW TO PLAY AGAINST XAVIER
- No dashes — easy to catch with control and a dive.
