Read from Seraphine's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Heimerdinger.
This is Seraphine's own plan; across 783 pooled games the lane is leaning Seraphine.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | Heimer's Evolution Turrets out-zone and out-trade your weak level-1 auto damage. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | At level 2 his turret field plus W rockets punish any step-up you make. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | Level 3 gives him full turret uptime that walls you off the wave. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Through 4-5 his layered turret damage still denies your CS and trades. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even: your Encore counters his ult setup as much as his upgraded turrets threaten you. |
| First item | Seraphine | With your first item your range and Encore all-in overtake his stationary poke. |
| Two+ items | Seraphine | Late game your AoE utility and chain-CC outscale his turret-bound damage. |
Heimerdinger dominates levels 1-4: his turret field out-trades your low base damage, zones you off the wave, and punishes any step-up with W rockets, so play safe, CS from range, and don't force trades into his turrets. Once the nest is up you cannot trade, so take your CS from range and build notes off the wave rather than off him. Shield pre-emptively for the grenade. Your window is before the second turret is planted, so use Beat Drop and your support early or not at all.
