Playing as Sejuani
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- Shatter your stunned target
Hit a target you just stunned: Fury of the North (passive) shatters them for heavy magic damage.
- 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.
- 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 Jarvan IV
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Step out of his flag's line
As soon as he plants Demacian Standard (E), step out of the line between him and the flag: Dragon Strike (Q) pulls him to it and knocks anyone in his path into the air.
- Punish him after his combo
Punish him after his flag-and-lance combo: without the flag, he has no dash to get out, and Demacian Standard (E) has a 12 to 10 second cooldown.
- Save a way out of his arena
If you have a way over walls, save it for Cataclysm (R): the arena can't be crossed on foot and locks you in with him while it lasts.
