By being on the same team as Anivia, he drops their win rate by -1.5% to 49.4%. This shows that there is a bad strategic relationship between Anivia and Xerath that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Xerath has a lower difficulty than Anivia. That means Anivia players don't need to be cautious when lining up Xerath allies to fight alongside, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, Anivia players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magic damage. When paired, these champions can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Conversely, by grouping Anivia and Xerath together, you probably will not be providing your side very much attack damage. Make sure to bring other champions on your team that nullifies this disparity in their playstyle.
