Read from Senna's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Zeri.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Senna | Your range and Q out-damage Zeri's weak low-base early game. |
| Level 2 | Senna | Level 2 you punish her step-ups and dash cooldowns before she scales. |
| Level 3 | Senna | You control CS and trades while her hyper-carry pattern is offline. |
| Levels 4-5 | Senna | Your range poke keeps beating her before her items and R-stacks arrive. |
| Level 6 | Senna | At 6 her Lightning Crash is still weak and unstacked — your global ult out-values it. |
| First item | Senna | At one item your range and lifesteal out-trade her mid-scaling kit. |
| Two+ items | Senna | Late she can out-scale, but your utility and range keep you ahead in most fights. |
Levels 1-2 you out-range and out-damage Zeri's weak early — poke her off CS with Q and punish any Spark Surge dash while it's on its long early cooldown. Her early damage is chip and her mana runs out, so poke her off CS and collect souls while she clears. Root her the moment she has spent her dash to reach farm, since that is the only time she is catchable. Piercing Darkness heals whatever her poke manages to land.
