Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-4 belong to Senna: she out-ranges your autos, pokes and self-heals with Piercing Darkness, and stacks Mist souls while staying safe behind minions. You can't trade into that, so play behind your caster wave, dodge her Q line, farm carefully, and accept that you're weak until your items come online.
