Seraphine

Mid Sera is a scaling AP poke mage. Doran's Ring start. Push wave with Q from screen-edge (875 range). Avoid trading with gap-closers (Zed, Akali) — Sera has 525 range, no escape.

Freeze near tower if matched into assassins. Q chip damage is your only weapon early.

Luden's Companion + Sorc Boots is your spike. Roam bot with R post-6 for free 2v3 picks. Sera's R is the strongest cross-lane ult in mid lane — 1300 range + echo.

In skirmishes, lead with Q poke -> E slow-to-root -> Comet proc + Luden's burst = 800+ damage on squishies.

Riftmaker + Rylai's = sustain AP teamfighter. Stand mid-line, R charms enemy frontline, Q-spam pokes from 875 range.

Void Staff vs MR stacking. Zhonya's bait → R reset = your panic combo.

Out-poke lane → 1 item spike → R-charm teamfights. You don't outscale assassins in 1v1 but you dominate 5v5 teamfights.

Win: 2+ successful roams + 50%+ R charm hits. Lose to fast-roaming mids (Talon, LeBlanc).

Level 6 — R unlock = cross-map roam. Luden's Companion — burst poke combo. Level 11 — R rank 2 + 2 items. Riftmaker — sustained AP DPS. Level 16 — R rank 3 + 5 items.

Combos:

• Q -> E (slow to root) -> R (extended echo) -> AA (passive proc) -> Comet damage
• W on ADC mid-fight = shield + heal + speed boost — 3-in-1 utility
• R during enemy frontline engage = unmissable charm chain

Anti-tips:

• Don't pick into Yasuo (Wind Wall blocks all skillshots)
• Don't AA trade — your AA range and damage are pathetic
• Don't R alone — no follow-up means wasted charm
