Read from Seraphine's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Nautilus.
This is Seraphine's own plan; across 28,226 pooled games the lane is leaning Seraphine.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Nautilus | Nautilus wins level 1 as his hook-plus-root chain threatens a kill your squishy body can't answer. |
| Level 2 | Nautilus | Nautilus dominates level 2 where Q into passive root plus an auto is lethal lockdown. |
| Level 3 | Nautilus | Nautilus holds level 3 because his short hook cooldown keeps re-threatening your positioning. |
| Levels 4-5 | Nautilus | Through levels 4-5 his tank stats let him walk through poke to land another hook chain. |
| Level 6 | Nautilus | At 6 Nautilus leads with an unstoppable Depth Charge that engages you before your Encore. |
| First item | Nautilus | At first item he stays ahead - you can't burst the tank and his hook re-threatens constantly. |
| Two+ items | Nautilus | With 2+ items Nautilus keeps the engage edge as his CC chain reaches your carry through peel. |
Levels 1-3 are all Nautilus: his Dredge Line hook plus passive root is a lockdown your squishy kit can't survive, and at 2 that chain kills outright with any help. Hug your minions so his Q catches a creep instead of you, never face-check brush, and poke only from max Q range when his hook is on cooldown. Concede push and farm safe. His hook punishes a straight approach, so hold position and let your carry farm behind the wave. Keep the notes climbing off the wave, shield the instant the chain is airborne, and hold the root for the beat after it has already missed.
