Senna's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Absolution (P)

When units die near Senna, their souls are periodically trapped by the Black Mist. Senna can attack these souls to free them, absorbing the Mist that held them in death. Mist fuels her Relic Cannon's power with increased Attack Damage, Attack Range, and Critical Strike Chance. Attacks from Senna's Relic Cannon take longer to fire, deal bonus damage, and briefly grant her a portion of her target's Move Speed.

Playing as Rell

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Crash down from your mount

    Engage with Ferromancy: Crash Down (W), which knocks enemies into the air where you land and shields you until you remount.

  2. Shattering Strike on a shield

    Save Shattering Strike (Q) for a shielded target: the strike breaks all their shields and stuns every unit in the line.

  3. Pull, then crash down

    Cast Magnet Storm (R) in the middle of them, then Ferromancy: Crash Down (W) on top of them, so the enemies you just pulled in take a knock-up.

  4. Charge with the ally who engages

    Cast Full Tilt (E) on the ally engaging with you: you both gain move speed, doubled toward enemies, and your next auto explodes.

Playing against Senna

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Punish her when she goes for a soul

    Take a trade when she steps up for a soul: each bit of Mist she absorbs with Absolution (passive) gives her AD, attack range and crit.

  2. Spread out if her embrace hits you

    If Last Embrace (W) hits you, move away from your allies: after a short delay, you and nearby allies are rooted.

  3. Target her when she steps up

    If you can engage, target her when she steps up for Piercing Darkness (Q): she has no dash to get away.

  4. Beware the wraiths

    Back off when her team disappears into Curse of the Black Mist (E): her allies are camouflaged there, then fast and unselectable.
