How to win the jungle race as Locke against Sejuani · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Locke's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Sejuani.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Locke Favoured | Q nail volleys clear camps at range while banking marks for the first scuttle fight, but Arctic Assault is engage utility, not duel damage. You still win the straight exchange at the first buff; keep it short, keep it decisive, and keep the scuttle line yours. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Locke Favoured | The blink-auto mark consume chunks hard, but spending E in a duel spends the escape too. Sejuani can make it awkward — the Arctic Assault knock-up into a Permafrost stun chains you into her gank follow-up — but not with one camp still up on both sides. Trade, then walk away with the second buff and the tempo that comes with it. |
| Level 3 Route | Locke Favoured | W's grey-health refund makes his short trades cheaper than they look — full clears cost him real HP. The margin is thin: Arctic Assault is engage utility, not duel damage, and one slow camp on your side hands the window straight back, so keep the trade short. She can't duel without the stun chain — dodge the Q engage and trade freely. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Even — Farm & Track | Levels 4-5 are a farm-and-track window vs Sejuani — bank camps, keep river vision, and hold the fight for your level-6 totem instead of coin-flipping. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Respect Sejuani's R | Glacial Prison turns any pick into a team kill, which is the whole problem: a cross-map Glacial Prison stun starts a fight you cannot refuse. The projectile is dodgeable — strafe the cast and her engage evaporates, and spend Purgatory to equalize rather than to open. |
| First Item Spike | Lich Bane / Shadowflame Spike | Lich Bane turns every blink-consume into a Spellblade chunk and Shadowflame sharpens the low-HP crunch. This is your strongest duel window of the game — cash it on a pick, not a coin-flip. Sejuani's first item is a durability spike — she does not start killing you, she starts being impossible to remove. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Respect Sejuani Late — End Early | Late game you are a cleanup engine, not a frontliner: enter second, blink the marked kill, and chain E resets. Every sealed soul permanently raises the totem floor — your scaling is the seal count. |
Start Red with a leash and Q the camp from max nail range — W’s grey-health refund keeps the clear honest, but full clears cost real HP, so path toward a healthy scuttle, not a fight. Sejuani clears steadily with Winter's Wrath and Fury of the North keeps her health high, so she paths without recalling.
