Read from Tahm Kench's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Senna.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Senna | Senna wins level 1: her long-range Q poke-heal chips you with no answer. |
| Level 2 | Senna | At 2 her Q out-ranges you and feeds her soul passive off free harass. |
| Level 3 | Senna | At 3 she keeps zoning and out-sustaining you from a range you can't close. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 even out once your W dive and Thick Skin punish a mispositioned Senna. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 it's a skill window: your dive can kill her, but her global R shields the carry. |
| First item | Even / skill | At first item it stays neutral — your tankiness blunts her poke, her range kites your engage. |
| Two+ items | Senna | Late her stacked souls make her a hyper-carry that out-ranges and out-heals your single peel. |
Senna wins levels 1-3. Her Q Piercing Darkness out-ranges everything you have, pokes and self-heals through the wave, and feeds her soul-stacking passive off the chip damage — so you eat free harass with no way to answer. Hug minions to deny her line, build Thick Skin early to soak the poke, and look to Q her only when she steps up to melee-range a soul. She is slow and fragile, so the count finishes long before her heal matters. Push the wave so the souls dry up, start the pattern on the melee walk-up she has to make, and let the grey health carry you through her poke in between.
