Read from Tahm Kench's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Seraphine.
This is Tahm Kench's own plan; across 7,092 pooled games the lane is leaning Seraphine.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tahm Kench | You spike hardest at level 1 with kit threat and gap-close on a squishy immobile enchanter. |
| Level 2 | Tahm Kench | At level 2 your Q-slow walk-down beats her no-self-peel poke pattern. |
| Level 3 | Tahm Kench | Level 3 still favors you because your all-in threat outweighs her early poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 even out as her shield and poke items come online. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even: your R engage answers her R Encore and neither hard-wins the duel. |
| First item | Even / skill | At first item her shields and wave-clear neutralize your slow-walk pressure. |
| Two+ items | Seraphine | With 2+ items Seraphine's range, roots and Encore out-scale your engage. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: Seraphine is a squishy immobile enchanter with no self-peel, so the moment you hit 2 you Q to slow, walk in for a P proc and let your ADC pile on. She has to poke with E from range and pray, but you can close that gap far faster than she can kite a Tahm Kench who has boots and a slow. Deny her free passive stacks by not standing in minions and force her to spend flash or take a fat trade. She is immobile and cannot leave once the count lands, so pick the moment rather than forcing one. Grey health covers her chip, and starting the pattern once her shield has been spent on her carry means there is nothing left to interrupt it.
