Seraphine

Seraphine's early lane is long-range AoE poke. Spellthief's Edge start. Hit two enemies with Q (High Note) for double passive procs — your 3rd ability casts an echo on its own.

E (Beat Drop) is your stun setup — it slows on first hit, roots if hits a slowed target, stuns if hits a rooted target. Use Q then E for slow-to-stun chains. Stay 875+ range away — Sera has no escape against engage supports.

Moonstone Renewer + Sorc Boots is your spike. Roam mid with R (Encore) ready — Encore charms in a 1300 range line, doubled length if it passes through allies first.

W (Surround Sound) shields your team in a 750 radius — pop it pre-engage. Stack Manaflow Band by Q-poking minions.

Backline AoE poke + chain CC. R is your teamfight ult — charm 3-5 enemies if your team bunches. Mikael's Blessing cleanses CC for your fed ADC.

Stay 1100+ range from frontline. Save E for engage interrupt. Rylai's perma-slow on Q makes you a kiting nightmare.

Out-poke lane, then R-charm teamfights. Win on R timing + W shield uptime. Lose to hook supports who catch you out (Thresh, Blitz, Pyke).

Win: 0 ADC deaths first 15min + 3+ R charm hits per teamfight. Lose: assassin one-shots you 2x → no carry protection.

Level 2 — Q + E unlocked, slow-to-root chain. Level 3 — W added, full shield/heal kit. Level 6 — R for first teamfight charm. Moonstone Renewer (1st item) — chain heal procs. Mikael's Blessing (3rd item) — CC cleanse for ADC. Level 16 — R rank 3 = 3-target charm chain.

Combos:

• Q (slow proc from passive) -> E (roots slowed target) -> AA (passive echo) = guaranteed root chain
• W passively shields and heals — cast it BEFORE incoming damage
• R echoes through ally hits — position teammates between Sera and target for amplified ult

Anti-tips:

• Don't lane in melee range — Sera has no escape vs engage
• Don't E without slow setup — E alone only slows, not roots
• Don't waste W on full-HP allies — it scales harder when allies are <50% HP

Pro tricks:

• Passive 3rd-cast echo deals 100% damage of the original — count your casts for big poke windows
• R cast range = 1300; echo extends through 1 ally and 1 enemy = 2600 effective range
• W cast while in ult form = R shield boost
