Read from Heimerdinger's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Seraphine.
This is Heimerdinger's own plan; across 783 pooled games the lane is leaning Seraphine.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | Level 1 favours you because immobile Seraphine has only a delayed Q and mana problems, so you zone her freely. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | At level 2 your turret charges and rockets deny her step-up poke, keeping the lane yours. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | By level 3 the turret nest and E stun-slow out-zone her slow poke on an immobile target, giving you control. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Through 4-5 stacked turrets chip her for free every time she steps up to cast, so you stay ahead. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | At level 6 you hold the edge in lane while respecting Encore, kiting her engage through turrets rather than clumping. |
| First item | Seraphine | At her first item Seraphine's Q poke, E root, and W shields out-range and out-siege your turrets, flipping the lane to her. |
| Two+ items | Seraphine | At 2+ items her Encore, shields, and long-range poke dominate the teamfight pattern, so the late game stays Seraphine-favoured. |
Levels 1-2 favour you: Seraphine is immobile with a delayed Q High Note and mana issues, so place Q defensively, deny her step-up poke with W rockets, and keep a minion between you so her E Beat Drop can't easily root and chain onto you. Farm safely and don't trade into her only when her poke is on cooldown. Her Notes only build when an ability actually connects, and a turret in the line eats most of what she throws. Plant in front and stand off to the side. Her shield is what makes your burst fall short, so bait it with rockets and keep the stun for the window behind it.
