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 Lee Sin
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Step up when he misses Q
Step up when Sonic Wave (Q) misses you: without it, he has no dash to reach you, and it has a 10 to 6 second cooldown.
- Spread out from your allies
In teamfights, spread out from your allies when facing him: the champion he kicks with Dragon's Rage (R) damages every enemy they collide with and knocks them into the air.
- Watch your early jungle
Ward your jungle entrance early on: Lee Sin often looks to invade early to get ahead.
- Drag the game out
If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Lee Sin is strongest early and loses impact once everyone has their items.
