Early game (levels 1–5)

You control levels 1-2. Seraphine is a poke enchanter-mage with no mobility and no early hard lockdown — her damage is Q High Note and E Beat Drop, both slow skillshots — so your W-Q knockup closes the range her poke tries to hold and starts an all-in she can't escape. Bait her E, since it's her only self-peel slow, then dive on the cooldown. Keep your ADC forward and ward her flanks; her only kill setup is a jungler collapsing on her E slow.
