Seraphine Quick Guide – Abilities, Tips and Tricks for Beginners
Champion At a Glance
Seraphine is an enchanter mage-esque champion that focuses on area of effect magic damage. Using her High Note, she can dish out extreme sequences of damage. Beyond that, she has forms of crowd control in her kit through Beat Drop and Encore. Seraphine players that can land Encore consistently on grouped enemies make her one of the biggest annoyances in the game.

Tips and Tricks
Tip #1 – Chaining Encore
Seraphine’s Encore (R) not only extends when going through enemies, it also extends through allies too. You can use this in team fights to make massive game-changing ultimates.
Tip #2 – Captive Audience
Use your Stage Presence (Passive) to deal damage with your auto attacks from very far away. Additionally, if you decide to go for Rylai’s Crystal Scepter, and if you use your normal Beat Drop (E) (not empowered one) you immediately root the player since you get slow from the item.
Trick #1 – Double Drop
Seraphine can use Encore (R) or Beat Drop (E) in combination with flash to quickly change direction and length of abilities and surprise enemies.
