Deathfire Grasp vs Thunderlord's Decree

Which one have you guys found the most success with? I imagine Thunderlord's is best for quick bursts of damage, but Deathfire deals more damage overall, and can also finish off people at low health.

I prefer DFT. Like, how often do you really get TLD procs with Xerath?

Deathfire all the way. Also, I find the % pen on the ferocity tree more useful on Xerath than the flat penetration

I'm diamond/master xerath main on EUNE nick: Przemutka and i always take TLD for that sweet surprise burst on lane and for lategame 2 shotting adc. And with luden echo you only need to hit twice to activate TLD

This actually makes a lot of sense. Forgot ludens procs TLD too. I'll have to try this more.

It really depends on your playstyle:

  • If you're the brawly type of player who enjoys taking risks & getting closer for kills, Thunderlord's will probably work better for you.
  • If you're the patient-and-pokey type of player who plays like a siege tank, Deathfire's touch is more effective (as you'll be getting value out of it every time you hit a champion).
