Early game (levels 1–5)

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.
