Senna's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Absolution (P)

When units die near Senna, their souls are periodically trapped by the Black Mist. Senna can attack these souls to free them, absorbing the Mist that held them in death. Mist fuels her Relic Cannon's power with increased Attack Damage, Attack Range, and Critical Strike Chance. Attacks from Senna's Relic Cannon take longer to fire, deal bonus damage, and briefly grant her a portion of her target's Move Speed.

Playing as Twitch

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Approach camouflaged

    Approach camouflaged with Ambush (Q), then start the fight: when you leave camouflage, you gain bonus attack speed.

  2. Catch up with Venom Cask

    Throw Venom Cask (W) at an enemy fleeing out of your range: the cloud slows them and adds a Deadly Venom (passive) stack every second.

  3. Poison before you contaminate

    Apply as many Deadly Venom (passive) stacks as you can before Contaminate (E): each stack adds damage, and the spell hits every poisoned enemy within 1200 range.

  4. Shoot through their frontline

    During Spray and Pray (R), stay back and aim at their carries through the frontline: your bolts pierce every enemy, with less damage after the first.

  5. Camouflage again after a kill

    When a champion dies poisoned by Deadly Venom (passive), Ambush (Q) comes back right away: recast it to reposition in the middle of the teamfight.

Playing against Senna

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Punish her when she goes for a soul

    Take a trade when she steps up for a soul: each bit of Mist she absorbs with Absolution (passive) gives her AD, attack range and crit.

  2. Spread out if her embrace hits you

    If Last Embrace (W) hits you, move away from your allies: after a short delay, you and nearby allies are rooted.

  3. Target her when she steps up

    If you can engage, target her when she steps up for Piercing Darkness (Q): she has no dash to get away.

  4. Beware the wraiths

    Back off when her team disappears into Curse of the Black Mist (E): her allies are camouflaged there, then fast and unselectable.
