Seraphine

Detailed Tips

1. 01

   Level 1 E Start - Try to cheese PTA proc or Conq with E1 > 3 auto's > disengage with E2.

2. 02

   Play For Level 2/3 Kill Angle - Once you chunk out Seraphine you're most likely able to kill her with Your W, Dash or Flash up. Look to shove the wave around your kill timer, so you're able to make Seraphine lose a lot more.

3. 03

   Avoid Seraphine Poke - Seraphine’s early ability spam can hurt quite a lot, while allowing her to have a decent amount of waveclear and safety options in the lane vs Renekton. Despite this Renekton still can easily kill Seraphine if he’s keeping his HP up, while taking the correct fights. Use D Shield and Second Wind to easily bypass her poke early, try to also use your early sustain advantage and quick combos to help burn through her HP and mana, allowing you to set up kills or force her to recall.

4. 04

   Abuse Renekton's Early Game - In this match up Renekton is essentially able to do whatever he simply wants. With that said, really hone into your strong early to mid game strengths to help you dominate and win the game. Play to deny your enemy of gold and xp, play to proxy and generally lead any top side skirmishes with your insane lane advantage.

5. 05

   Play Wave On Your Side - Playing the wave on your side essentially means playing wave states on your side of the map, via abusing wave manipulation tactics or freezing on your side of the map. Simply use this to help you combo on your laner, taking away any space from them being able to trade you back (This also helps prevent the enemy running you down with their extended or sustained movement speed abilities). You can also use this wave state to run down your opponent with your abilities up, helping you obtain kills a lot easier vs stalemate or ranged match ups. Look to do this when your opponents are below 50% HP, or potentially make a mistake to provide you an all in opportunity to run them down.

6. 06

   Heavy Trades - Being that Renekton carries a lot of high damage, Renekton is able to just jump on his target nearly at will. Whenever your laners present you with the ability to jump on them, simply take the opportunity to burst them as much as you can. If you didn't kill them already from that, use your options of freezing or your tower diving ability to help you finish off your opponent.

7. 07

   Avoid Seraphine R - Seraphine’s R is essentially a much better version of Sona’s R, which if used correctly can be a massive tool in being able to win fights for Seraphine’s team. When playing against Seraphine, you only need to really worry about her R if you’re grouped up with your team or her team is moving towards her. In 1v1’s Seraphine R isn’t enough to stop Renekton from killing her, but if you are worried about the enemies CC threat you can simply buy Mercury Treads to counter her.

8. 08

   Build Eclipse, Stridebreaker or Profane - Go Eclipse for consistent power through mid game and damage mitigation with the shield. / Go Stridebreaker to cripple Seraphine’s mobility and provide teammates with additional utility. / Go Profane for full damage focused playstyles.

9. 09

   Mid Game + Teamfighting Tips - Seraphine’s overall role within the game is to play around her main carries and act as a neutraliser against engage champions, using her R and W utility to help her team win the fights. Typically against Seraphine we want to avoid clumping up against her R, otherwise it will easily present her team a free win within the fights. Avoid fighting in tight spaces too, as Seraphine R will easily hit the narrow pathways of choke points. As Renekton try to utilise your shield break W against her shielded carries and look to play for one shot engages with flash, allowing you to avoid her stun passive and giving you a free entry point. After killing the main carries in a teamfight, you can then try to nuke Seraphine, which is relatively easy once you eliminate her main carries from the fight. When trying to push against Seraphine it can be difficult with how strong her wave clear can be, with that said try to get Baron and look to end the game with the buff to prevent her and her team one shotting the waves.
