Playing as Sejuani

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Land both Winter's Wrath swings

    Land both Winter's Wrath (W) swings: the second deals most of the damage and slows, and each one applies a Frost stack.

  2. Permafrost at 4 Frost stacks

    Cast Permafrost (E) as soon as your target has 4 Frost stacks: Winter's Wrath (W) and your melee allies' autos apply them.

  3. Shatter your stunned target

    Hit a target you just stunned: Fury of the North (passive) shatters them for heavy magic damage.

  4. Engage with Arctic Assault

    Engage with Arctic Assault (Q): enemies you pass through take a knock-up, and the charge stops on the first champion hit.

  5. Glacial Prison from a distance

    Cast Glacial Prison (R) at their carry from far enough away: past a quarter of its range, the stun lasts longer and a storm slows nearby enemies.

Playing against Cho'Gath

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Keep moving

    Keep moving against him: Rupture (Q) strikes an area on the ground, and an enemy standing still takes a knock-up, damage and a slow.

  2. Punish him while he farms

    Punish him when he goes for last hits: Carnivore (passive) restores health and mana for each unit he kills, and he lasts a long time in lane if you let him farm.

  3. Keep your distance if you can

    If you have range, keep your distance: his kit has no dash, only the slows from Rupture (Q) and Vorpal Spikes (E).

  4. Beware Feast at low health

    Don't stay in melee range at low health when Feast (R) is up: its true damage ignores your resistances, even if you're a tank.
