Two+ itemsEven / skillWith two-plus items it evens as her teamfight ult, heals and shields scale, offset by your Curtain Call range.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-3 are yours: Seraphine is a completely immobile mage-enchanter who depends on landing skillshots to survive, so poke her with Dancing Grenade and punish her every time her E (Beat Drop) is down. Weave behind minions to dodge her linear E and land W roots to burst her thin early frame. Deny her the free poke she wants and force her to spend mana defensively.
