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 Nami

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her bubble, then step up

    Change direction when she casts Aqua Prison (Q), then step up if she misses: it's her only stun outside her ult, on a 12 to 8 second cooldown.

  2. Back off when she blesses her ADC

    Avoid trading when she casts Tidecaller's Blessing (E) on her ally: their next autos and abilities slow you and deal more damage.

  3. Dodge the wave sideways

    Step out to the side of Tidal Wave (R): it travels a long way but moves slowly, and its slow lasts longer the more distance it has covered.

  4. Target her: she has no dash

    If you can engage, target Nami when she steps up: with no dash or leap, she can only walk away.
