Read from Vel'Koz's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Seraphine.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vel'Koz | Level 1 your re-castable Q plus W out-range her single High Note bolt. |
| Level 2 | Vel'Koz | Level 2 your double-Q and W burst wins the trade before she stacks notes. |
| Level 3 | Vel'Koz | Level 3 E interrupt and combo range let you zone her off CS. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vel'Koz | Levels 4-5 your poke refreshes faster and out-damages her early heal. |
| Level 6 | Vel'Koz | Level 6 your instant true-damage R beats her setup-dependent Encore in the poke war. |
| First item | Vel'Koz | At first item your mana and combo range fully deny her siege. |
| Two+ items | Seraphine | By two-plus items her shields, heal and chain-CC Encore outscale your poke. |
You dominate levels 1-2: your Q re-cast plus W applies stacks and out-ranges her single-target High Note, and your E interrupts if she or her ADC steps up. Watch for Stage Presence's triple-cast wind-up as her burst tell, and the lane snowballs toward you. Her cast is slower than yours and her ramp needs hits to land, so cycle the rotation and stay off her line. Split the opener so both halves reach, hold the knock-up for the moment her shield is already spent, and keep the mana bar in mind.
