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 Thresh
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Keep minions between you and Thresh: Death Sentence (Q) stuns and pulls the first unit hit, so one minion is enough to block it.
- Step up after a missed hook
Step up when Death Sentence (Q) misses you: he keeps its full cooldown, 19 to 9 seconds, which only goes down if the hook lands.
- Don't give him free autos
Don't stay in his range for no reason: Flay (E) charges his autos between hits, and a charged auto hits hard early on.
- Beware the first wall of his box
Avoid being the first to break a wall of The Box (R): that one slows and deals full damage. After that, the remaining walls deal no damage.
