How to beat Seraphine as Veigar: the early game

Levels 1-4 belong to Seraphine. Her Q out-ranges your Baleful Strike, and her passive Notes make every third ability double-cast, so she chunks you while you walk up for last-hits and Q stacks. Do not try to trade back through her W shield; instead farm from the back of your minions, dodge High Note, and just survive to your spike. Ping your support to zone her poke and match her push so you're not eating harass under tower. Her poke out-ranges yours and her echo doubles it, so take the safe executes and stop contesting the trade. Stay off her cast line. Hover the cage for the moment her shield is already spent, and let the stack count rather than the lane phase be the thing you are actually winning.
