What They Do
Senna is an infinite-scaling marksman support who gains range, AD, and crit by harvesting souls via . She provides utility with a long-range heal in , an AoE root in , and team camouflage with .
Abilities (What to Watch For)
| Ability | What You'll See | What It Means For You |
|---|---|---|
| Souls drop from dead units or she hits you twice with a white/black beam | She's harvesting Mist. This gives her permanent AD, Range, and Crit. The more souls she gets, the harder she is to kill later. | |
| A long, narrow beam of light and shadow | Heals her and her allies while damaging enemies. She can target wards, towers, or minions to extend the reach of the beam. | |
| A black shadowy projectile that travels in a line | If it hits you, you'll be rooted after a 1 second delay. This root also spreads to anyone standing near you when it triggers. | |
| A large circular storm of mist around her | She and her allies become camouflaged wraiths. You cannot target them with basic attacks or point-and-click spells unless you are inside the circle. | |
| A massive, map-wide beam of light | Shields all allies hit and damages any enemies caught in the center track. Watch out for this during cross-map skirmishes. |
Respect
- !Infinite Range Scaling→Through , she eventually outranges every champion in the game. If you don't punish her early, she becomes untouchable.
- !Target-agnostic →She can cast this on a ward or a minion to hit you from way outside your own trade range. Nowhere is safe if there is a target between you.
- !Soul Rip Burst→Her basic attack + combo instantly procs , dealing bonus current HP damage and granting her move speed to escape.
- !Global Impact→Even if she's losing lane, she can grant a massive shield to her Top or Mid laner to flip a fight elsewhere on the map.
Punish
- +Long Auto-Attack Windup→ makes her attacks very slow early. Trade with her or land a skillshot the moment she starts her attack animation.
- +Missed (11s CD)→This is her only self-peel. If she misses the root, she is incredibly vulnerable to a hard engage or dive.
- +Soul Collection Animation→She must stand still for a split second to click on a soul on the ground. Use that predictable movement to land your CC.
- +Extreme Squishiness→Senna has some of the lowest base health in the game. Any high-burst champion can 100-0 her if they close the gap.
Laning Tips
- •Do not let her hit you twice; that is how she extracts mist for . Trade back and back off.
- •Stand away from your own low-health minions so she can't use through them to poke you while farming.
- •Pick hard engage like Leona or Nautilus. Senna struggles against anyone who can instantly close the gap and lock her down.
- •If you get hit by , walk away from your ADC immediately so the root doesn't spread to both of you.
- •Build Plated Steelcaps early if she's getting ahead; almost all of her damage is physical auto-attack based.
- •Control the bushes. Senna needs vision to stack safely; use sweepers to deny her the ability to poke from cover.
Teamfight Warning
- ⚠Focus her first. If she stays alive, she provides infinite healing with and massive DPS from safety.
- ⚠Don't waste important point-and-click ultimates while she is in , as she becomes unselectable.
- ⚠In jungle chokepoints, her can root your entire team. Spread out slightly to minimize the AoE.
- ⚠Watch the center of . The outer edges only shield her team, but the middle will chunk your health bar.
- ⚠Assassins should look for a flank; she will be focused on using on her frontline and won't see you coming.
