Playing as Seraphine

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Double your Surround Sound

    Make Surround Sound (W) your third basic spell: Stage Presence (passive) casts it twice, and the second, cast while shielded, heals your allies.

  2. Beat Drop on a slowed target

    Cast Beat Drop (E) on enemies that are already slowed: they're rooted, and those already immobilized are stunned.

  3. Finish with High Note

    Save High Note (Q) for a wounded target: its damage grows with the health they've lost.

  4. Send Encore through an ally

    Cast Encore (R) through an ally toward the enemies: each champion hit, allies included, extends the spell's range.

Playing against Draven

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Play hard when he drops an axe

    Play hard when he drops a Spinning Axe (Q): without it, he loses his bonus damage and the Blood Rush (W) reset.

  2. Aim where his axe lands

    If you have skillshots, aim where his Spinning Axe (Q) falls: he has to go there to catch it.

  3. Engage after his Stand Aside

    If you can engage, wait until Stand Aside (E) is used: it's his only spell to push you back, on a 16 to 12 second cooldown.

  4. Don't give him kills

    Don't hand him kills: with League of Draven (passive), each champion he kills gives him bonus gold based on his stored Adoration.

  5. Beware his axes at low health

    At low health, beware of Whirling Death (R), which crosses the map: it executes a champion below a threshold that grows with his Adoration.
