Track: Zeri's E — Spark Surge (24–18s cooldown). The wall-dash escape — she is catchable only while it is down.
Read from Seraphine's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Zeri.
This is Seraphine's own plan; across 6,853 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Seraphine | Level 1 you out-poke a weak-early scaler with no escape. |
| Level 2 | Seraphine | Level 2 your E-Q trade beats her chip-damage Q. |
| Level 3 | Seraphine | Level 3 you can all-in a Zeri who has no dash to answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Seraphine | Levels 4-5 you keep zoning her off farm before she scales. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 it's even - Encore charm versus Lightning Crash is a skill fight. |
| First item | Zeri | At one item Zeri's scaling Q and wall-dash kiting out-DPS you. |
| Two+ items | Zeri | Late game her mobility and speed resets let her run you down. |
Levels 1-5 are yours: Zeri is a weak-laning scaler whose Q only chips and who has no dash to escape your poke until 6. Punish her hard with E-Q trades and threaten the all-in whenever she steps up to farm. She chips and cannot escape your poke before six, so trade whenever she steps up and let the notes stack. Beat Drop lands cleanly on a Zeri who has already spent her dash. Shield your support for the all-in, and take the plate once her mana can no longer pay for the wave.
