Playing as Senna

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Collect every soul

    Attack the souls held by the Mist whenever you can: each soul freed with Absolution (passive) increases your AD, attack range and crit chance.

  2. One beam to heal and damage

    Fire Piercing Darkness (Q) through an ally or an enemy to hit both: the beam heals your allies, and damages and slows enemies in the line.

  3. Last Embrace on a slowed target

    Cast Last Embrace (W) on a target that's already slowed or immobilized: after a short delay, they and nearby enemies are rooted.

  4. Hide your team in the Mist

    Cast Curse of the Black Mist (E) to engage or escape with your team: allies who enter it are camouflaged, then fast and unselectable.

  5. Save an ally across the map

    Cast Dawning Shadow (R) to save an ally across the map: the beam has unlimited range and shields allies.

Playing against Hwei

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after his damage spell

    Trade after he uses a damage spell: Devastating Fire (QQ), Severing Bolt (QW) and Molten Fissure (QE) share a 10 to 6 second cooldown.

  2. Don't stand still or alone

    Don't stand still or alone: Severing Bolt (QW) strikes after a delay and deals more damage to isolated or immobilized enemies.

  3. Jump on him if you can

    If you can engage, jump on him right after one of his CC spells: Hwei has no dash or leap, and Subject: Torment (E) has a 12 to 10 second cooldown.

  4. Move away from the ally hit by his R

    If an ally is hit by Spiraling Despair (R), move away from them: the vision expands around its target, slows and damages nearby enemies, then explodes.
