Win Condition
Survive the early game while maintaining a high soul count (aim for 20 souls every 5-8 minutes). By the late game, use your superior range to siege towers safely and use to keep your frontline alive while you shred the enemy team.
Playstyle
Infinite-scaling marksman-support hybrid. You poke for stacks, out-range enemies by the mid-game, and provide high utility and global shielding while dealing carry-level damage.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
- +Infinite scaling through gives you the highest attack range in the game
- + provides simultaneous damage and healing, allowing for extremely efficient trading
- +Global presence with allows you to impact other lanes without leaving your ADC
- + provides team-wide safety from point-and-click abilities and makes ganking your lane difficult
Weaknesses
- -Extremely low base HP and no mobility make you highly vulnerable to hard engage and assassins
- - has a long delay before the root, making it unreliable against mobile champions
- -Passive soul collection is mandatory; if you are zoned off souls, you will lack damage and range
- -Relic Cannon wind-up on makes it easy for enemies to trade back or CC you while you are locked in animation
Abilities
Souls are your lifeblood. Every 20 souls grants +20 Range and 10% Crit. Attacking a champion twice rips a soul from them—use an Auto then immediately to proc this safely. Your autos deal bonus damage and grant movement speed, helping you kite.
This is a targeted beam that heals allies and hurts enemies. It procs stacks. You can cast this on wards, towers, or minions to extend your reach and hit enemies further away. Auto-attacking reduces its cooldown, so keep hitting things.
Your only CC. It roots after a 1s delay. If the target dies while the mist is on them, the root triggers INSTANTLY. Use this on low-health minions next to enemies for a surprise snare.
Turns you and nearby allies into wraiths. While in the mist, you are camouflaged. Enemies cannot click on you or see who is who until they are very close. Use this to hide your Jungler's position during a gank.
A global beam. The center strip deals damage; the massive outer area shields all allies hit. This is a shielding tool first, damage tool second. Do not hold it just to 'snipe' kills; use it to save your Top laner in a 1v1.
Teamfight Role
Utility Marksman / Backline Healer
Stay behind your tanks and spam through as many people as possible to maximize healing and damage. Use to peel for yourself or follow up on your team's engage. Use to reposition your entire backline if an assassin dives.
If you have 100+ souls, you can often play as a primary damage dealer, as your range allows you to hit enemies before they can even see you.
Combos
Quick Soul Trade
Auto ->
Your fastest way to proc on an enemy. Use the auto-attack reset from Q to quickly grab a soul and back off with the bonus movement speed.
The Instant Snare
(on low HP minion) -> Auto
If kills the target, the root procs immediately in an AoE. Aiming at a dying minion next to the enemy ADC is much harder to dodge than a direct W.
Full Engage
-> Auto -> -> Auto ->
Land the root first, then follow up with your soul-ripping combo. Finish with for the burst damage if they are out of reach.
Safety Retreat
->
Throw at the closest threat and immediately pop . The camouflage prevents them from following up with targeted spells while the root stops their movement.

Common Mistakes
- ✕Overextending to pick up a soul→Souls are bait. If you walk up too far for one, you will get engaged on and die due to your low base HP.
- ✕Using too late against assassins→If Rengar or Kha'Zix is already on top of you, won't save you. Use it the moment you see them approaching on vision.
- ✕Using only for kills→You lose out on the massive shield value. A well-timed can provide thousands of effective HP across your entire team.
- ✕Not auto-attacking during fights→Your will stay on cooldown longer, leading to less healing for your team and less damage output.
- ✕Walking into melee range→Senna has a slow attack wind-up from . If you are close, enemies will kill you before your attack animation finishes.
