Do

  • E-chip every contact
  • Bank Q for the real window
  • Laser the rooted refund

Don't

  • Q-poke into their shields
  • Trade at their sustain tempo
  • Barrier the chip

How to beat Seraphine as Lux: the early game

Levels 1-3 are yours: your Q roots and outranges her High Note, and she's just as immobile as you but with a shorter poke tool early. Land Light Binding into E on her step-ups and win the trades before her Echo passive and W shield-heal loop come online. Your root reaches past her poke and she is exactly as immobile as you are, so the lane goes to whoever lands first. Drop the zone on the ground she is casting from, and hold the shield for the moment her own is already spent on her carry.
