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 Vel'Koz

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Watch both branches of his plasma

    Get out of the line of Plasma Fission (Q) and watch its sides too: the bolt splits into two branches at 90 degrees when it hits a target or he recasts it.

  2. Back off before the third stack

    Back off after taking two of his spells: at the third Organic Deconstruction (passive) stack, you take a burst of true damage.

  3. Engage after Tectonic Disruption

    If you can engage, go in after Tectonic Disruption (E): it's his only spell to push back someone charging him, and he has no dash to escape.

  4. Interrupt his ray

    If you have a stun, a silence or a knock-up, save it for Life Form Disintegration Ray (R): any of them interrupts the ray.
