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 Zyra

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her roots

    Get out of the line of Grasping Roots (E): the roots pass through minions and root every enemy hit, then her plants hit the trapped target.

  2. Step on her seeds

    Step on her seeds to destroy them before she grows them: Rampant Growth (W) seeds reveal you for a moment, but leave her no plant.

  3. Kill her plants

    Take down the plants born from Garden of Thorns (passive), or back off until they die: they take fixed damage, like a ward, and don't live long.

  4. Get out of her thorns

    Get out of the Stranglethorns (R) zone as soon as it appears: the vines knock you into the air 2 seconds later, and her plants are empowered inside.

  5. Engage when her plants are far

    If you can engage, go for Zyra when her plants are far from her: the Thorn Spitter from Deadly Spines (Q) only fires at 575 range.
