Read from Nautilus's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Seraphine.
This is Nautilus's own plan; across 28,226 pooled games the lane is leaning Seraphine.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Nautilus | Immobile Seraphine with only a delayed E root loses to your level-1 hook. |
| Level 2 | Nautilus | Your level-2 Q all-in bursts her before she can chain poke or escape. |
| Level 3 | Nautilus | Pressuring her off spacing through level 3 keeps her poke off you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Nautilus | Titan's Wrath shields her Q/W poke, so the 4-5 trades stay yours. |
| Level 6 | Nautilus | Point-and-click Depth Charge locks her before telegraphed Encore fires at 6. |
| First item | Nautilus | Your Q range and E slow force her E defensively through first item. |
| Two+ items | Nautilus | Late, you flank and blow up the immobile mage before her AoE charm lands. |
You beat Seraphine in the early trades: she's immobile with no way to escape a hook, and her only lockdown is the second-cast E root she'll have to burn defensively. At levels 1-2 your Q plus passive root all-in bursts her under a Titan's Wrath shield before she can chain her poke. Don't sit in her Q range and let her free-cast; walk her down instead. She is immobile with no way to leave once the chain lands, so hook her whenever she steps forward to cast. Raise the shield as you set off rather than when you land, and commit only once her own shield has already been spent on her carry.
