Playing as Seraphine
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- Finish with High Note
Save High Note (Q) for a wounded target: its damage grows with the health they've lost.
- 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 Jinx
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Short trades
Take a short trade, then back off: with the minigun from Switcheroo! (Q), each auto increases her attack speed, so long trades favor her.
- Punish her lack of mobility
If you can engage, go for her when her support walks away: with no dash or leap, Jinx can only back off on foot.
- Walk around her traps
Don't step on Flame Chompers! (E): they root the champion who touches them. Walk around them or wait for them to vanish after 5 seconds.
- Deny her the first kill
If you can reach her, focus her first: any takedown gives her a big speed boost with Get Excited! (passive).
