Playing against Seraphine

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Spread out to avoid the R chaining — if an ally is hit, move away from them.

2

Her E alone only slows: it's dangerous ONLY if you're already slowed or CC'd.

3

Seraphine is immobile and squishy — assassins and flanks punish her well.

4

Her passive doubles every 3rd ability: if she has the visible halo, prepare for a double cast.
