Track: Sejuani's E — Permafrost. Her stun after Frost stacks. Don't get stacked + stunned.
Read from Cho'Gath's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sejuani.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Two no-mobility tanks — neither has a level-1 edge, so deny last-hits and don't over-extend into her W dash and Permafrost range. |
| Level 2 | Sejuani | Arctic Assault (Q) knocks you up, Winter's Wrath (W) stacks Frost and Permafrost (E) stuns at max — she out-trades you until Feral Scream lands. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | You stabilize as Rupture cools down, but she still edges short trades with her Permafrost stun — keep it even by farming, not fighting. |
| Levels 4-5 | Cho'Gath | Carnivore sustain and Vorpal Spikes waveclear turn the lane even and let you sit safely while you scale toward Feast stacks. |
| Level 6 | Cho'Gath | Feast is true damage and Frost Armor is only armour and MR, so it blunts nothing — the execute deters her Glacial Prison all-in. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your Carnivore sustain plus tank components let you out-sit her; bait the W-E chain, then Q-W while Permafrost is down to win the trade. |
| Two+ items | Sejuani | She out-scales the teamfight — her R AOE stun and Frost Armor shield peel for carries harder than your single-target lockdown. |
Two immobile tanks staring each other down — neither of you wins level 1, so just last-hit with Carnivore topping you off and feel out her cooldowns. The real danger is level 2: Arctic Assault (Q) is an 18-second dash that knocks you up, Winter's Wrath (W) fills your Frost gauge, and Permafrost (E) stuns once it is full — and she can then shatter a stunned target for massive magic damage. Do not throw a wide Rupture and step in to follow up. Bait the 18-second dash, soak with Carnivore, and accept a little chip; you both scale.
