Read from Vel'Koz's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Senna.
This is Vel'Koz's own plan; across 8,913 pooled games the lane is leaning Senna.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vel'Koz | Your Q out-ranges Senna's Q-laser at level 1 before she stacks souls. |
| Level 2 | Vel'Koz | Level-2 Q poke out-trades the weak early Senna. |
| Level 3 | Vel'Koz | Your range beats hers at level 3 before her soul range grows. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vel'Koz | Poke uptime keeps levels 4-5 yours while her stacks are low. |
| Level 6 | Vel'Koz | Your burst still beats her at 6 if you've denied her souls. |
| First item | Vel'Koz | First-item Lost Chapter poke holds the lane as her scaling lags. |
| Two+ items | Senna | Late, Senna's stacked range, Q-heal sustain, and global R out-value your poke. |
Levels 1-2 favor you: your Q out-ranges Senna's Q heal-laser at low ranks, so poke her and her ADC before she can start banking souls. Her early trade is weak and her base movement is low, so punish every step she takes to collect a soul or CS. Deny stacks now and her whole scaling curve stalls. Ward so her roam-heavy playstyle doesn't get free picks elsewhere. Her reach grows every wave, so take the value now: cycle the full rotation and push so the souls dry up. Split the opener so both halves land, hold the knock-up for the melee walk-up she has to make, and watch your mana as the lane goes long.
