How to beat Seraphine as Nami: the early game

Levels 1-4 are yours: Seraphine's Q (High Note) is slow and her Note passive needs stacking, so your E bounce and W chip out-harass and out-heal her. Keep your ADC out of her E (Beat Drop) slow range and bubble any over-extension her kit can't retaliate against. Her cast is slow and her ramp needs hits to land, so stay off the line and punish the gaps. Empower your carry's autos while her shield is unavailable, and hold the bubble for the moment her root has already been spent rather than firing it early.
