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 Qiyana
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Check her weapon's element
Before a trade, check her weapon's element: with Ice, Elemental Wrath (Q) roots you, and with Wild, the brush element, its trail makes her invisible.
- Back off when she changes element
Back off when she casts Terrashape (W): the spell resets Elemental Wrath (Q), so she can hit you twice in a row.
- Stay away from walls and the river
Don't fight right next to a wall, the river or brush: Supreme Display of Talent (R) explodes along them and stuns enemies there.
