Seraphine Bot guide

Seraphine ADC is a spell-weaving mage carry built around High Note (Q), Surround Sound (W), and Encore (R): Stage Presence (passive) casts every third basic spell twice and grants bonus magic damage and range on her next attack when she casts near allies, so she poke-trades with High Note, shields with Surround Sound, and closes fights by charming through the enemy team with Encore.

The build

Rune page: Arcane Comet, Manaflow Band, Transcendence, and Gathering Storm (Sorcery), with Cut Down and Legend: Haste (Precision). Summoners: Flash and Teleport. Skill order opens High Note (Q) at level 1, then maxes High Note (Q) first with Beat Drop (E) second. Starter: Doran's Ring and two Health Potions, into Ionian Boots of Lucidity. Core build: Seraph's Embrace, Imperial Mandate, and Rylai's Crystal Scepter, with Blackfire Torch, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Dark Seal as later options.

Ability mechanics

Stage Presence (passive) makes every third basic spell cast twice, and casting spells near allies grants Seraphine bonus magic damage and range on her next basic attack. High Note (Q) deals damage in an area. Surround Sound (W) shields and hastes nearby allies, healing them too if she is already shielded when she casts it. Encore (R) deals damage and charms enemies hit, refreshing its range with every allied or enemy champion it touches.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Tristana, Senna, Ashe, Jhin, Jinx. Best matchups: Caitlyn, Kai'Sa, Ezreal.
