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 Tristana

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Step away from your minions

    Don't stay glued to your minions: when her autos kill them, Explosive Charge (E) damages nearby enemies, and her bomb also explodes in an area.

  2. Back off when her bomb is on you

    Back off as soon as Explosive Charge (E) is stuck on you: each of her hits makes it stronger, and a bomb that explodes at max stacks resets Rocket Jump (W).

  3. Respect her Rapid Fire

    When she activates Rapid Fire (Q) in a fight, back off until the bonus ends, or stun her if you can: her attack speed spikes for the spell's duration.

  4. Spread out when her bomb is on you

    In teamfights, when Explosive Charge (E) is on you, spread out from your allies: when it explodes, the bomb also damages anyone near you.
