Read from Seraphine's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Hwei.
This is Seraphine's own plan; across 7,008 pooled games the lane is leaning Seraphine.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Even at 1 because both of you only have farm-poke tools and no point-click lockdown. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Even at 2 since neither Seraphine nor Hwei gets a kill-threat spike off two casts. |
| Level 3 | Hwei | Hwei-favoured at 3 as his QQE burst chain starts one-shotting squishies through your shield. |
| Levels 4-5 | Hwei | Hwei-favoured at 4-5 because his range and pick threat keep you pinned off farm. |
| Level 6 | Hwei | Hwei-favoured at 6 since his full combo plus ult out-bursts your setup-dependent Encore. |
| First item | Hwei | Hwei-favoured at first item as Malignance/Liandry poke chunks you past shield value. |
| Two+ items | Seraphine | Seraphine-favoured at 2+ items where Encore's AoE charm and double Notes win teamfights. |
Level 1-2 is a skill lane: you both farm-poke with Q and neither has the lockdown to punish, so trade shields for pokes and don't walk into his W zone. His reach beats yours and every landed cast ramps him further, so hold position and let your carry farm. Keep the notes building off the wave, shield preemptively, and hold the root for the moment he has already committed rather than trading rotations you cannot win.
