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 Smolder

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade early

    Take your trades early: his basic spells only gain damage with the Dragon Practice (passive) stacks he builds over the game.

  2. Save your CC for his flight

    If you have hard CC, save it for Flap, Flap, Flap (E): it's his only way to escape, and hard CC interrupts his flight.

  3. Don't stay grouped

    Don't stay grouped with your allies against him: empowered, Super Scorcher Breath (Q) also damages around its target and behind it.

  4. Leave the center of the breath

    Get out of the center of MMOOOMMMM! (R): that's where the breath hits hardest and slows.
