Read from Kennen's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sejuani.
This is Kennen's own plan; across 133 pooled games the lane is leaning Sejuani.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | She has no early burst and Arctic Assault costs 60 mana on an 18s cooldown, but your fragile level-1 body means you get one Q poke in — set the lane up. |
| Level 2 | Kennen | Your second Q point plus Electrical Surge on-hits out-chip a Sejuani with no sustain, and chip poke keeps Frost Armor's MR broken. |
| Level 3 | Kennen | You own the wave and the poke trade here — she can only soak Q damage and stack W slowly with no way to punish you back. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sejuani | Winter's Wrath slows and stacks Frost until Permafrost stuns, letting a tank finally walk you down, so concede the step-in window. |
| Level 6 | Kennen | Slicing Maelstrom into a triple-marked Sejuani stun-locks even a tank — bait Arctic Assault (Q), then R for a kill her armor can't stop. |
| First item | Even / skill | Hextech Alternator / Liandry's cashes your R combo into burst, but it's a coin-flip window since she's stacking raw HP your magic struggles to finish. |
| Two+ items | Sejuani | She out-scales you outright — Winter's Wrath into a Permafrost stun pins you and Glacial Prison hard-CCs you out of your own channel, so don't duel her late. |
Sejuani has almost no early kill threat on you — her damage is chip and CC, not burst, so the level 1-3 window is yours to poke. Throw Q (Thundering Shuriken) at her every time she steps to last-hit and let Electrical Surge on-hits add up; her one gap-closer is Arctic Assault (Q), 650 range on 18s, and Frost Armor's MR breaks the moment you damage her. The one thing to respect is Winter's Wrath stacking Frost on you — at max stacks Permafrost stuns, and that is how she chunks your retreat.
