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 Jarvan IV

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
