Senna Ability Details & Skill Order:
1. Passive - Absolution: When units die near Senna, their souls are periodically trapped by the Black Mist. Senna can attack these souls to free them, absorbing the Mist that held them in death. This Mist fuels her Relic Cannon's power with increased Attack Damage, Attack Range, and Critical Strike Chance. Attacks from Senna's Relic Cannon take longer to fire, deal bonus damage, and briefly grant her a portion of her target's Move Speed.
2. Q - Piercing Darkness: Senna fires a unified beam of light and shadow through a target, healing allies and damaging enemies.
3. W - Last Embrace: Senna sends forth a wave of Black Mist. If it hits an enemy, it latches onto them, rooting them and everything nearby after a brief delay.
4. E - Curse of the Black Mist: Senna draws the Mist she has stored in her weapon into a storm around her, becoming a wraith. Allies who enter the area are camouflaged and also appear as wraiths. Wraiths gain increased Move Speed, are unselectable, and hide their identities.
5. R - Dawning Shadow: Senna calls upon the relic stones of fallen Sentinels, splitting her relic cannon into a holy array of shadow and light. She then fires a global beam that shields allies from harm, while damaging enemies caught in the center.
- Level 1: Q
- Level 2: W
- Level 3: E
- Max Order: Q -> W -> E
- Take a point in your R (ultimate) whenever possible (levels 6, 11, and 16).
Senna during the Laning Phase:
Focus on poking the enemy with your Q and auto-attacks. Collect souls whenever possible, but be cautious of enemy engages. Use your E to escape ganks or initiate trades. Always be on the lookout for opportunities to use your global R to assist other lanes.
Senna in the Mid Game:
Roam with your jungler or mid-laner to secure objectives and vision. Your long-range abilities can turn the tide of skirmishes.
Senna in the Late Game:
Position safely in team fights, using your range to your advantage. Use your E to provide camouflage for your team during engages or disengages. Your R can be a game-changer in late-game team fights, so use it wisely.
How to farm as Senna Support:
As a support, your primary focus isn't on farming. However, ensure you're collecting souls from fallen minions and champions to scale effectively.
Senna Support during Team Fights:
Stay in the backline, providing heals with your Q and using your W to root key targets. Use your E to reposition or to help your team reposition. Your R can be used either at the start of a fight to give your team an advantage or during the fight to turn the tide.
Senna around the Dragon/Baron:
Provide vision around these objectives. Use your long-range abilities to poke and deter the enemy team. Your R can be used to steal these objectives or to provide a shield for your team during the contest.
Threats against Senna:
- Blitzcrank (Extreme): Senna struggles against all hook champions.
Synergies with Senna:
- Seraphine (Ideal): Senna can make up for the lack of AD damage.
Additional Advice on playing Senna:
1. Trade with auto-Q-auto for efficient animation canceling.
2. Look for Q snipes in lane using minions/wards for better angles.
3. Be prepared for when souls drop in the laning phase and collect them before they move too far.
4. In the post-laning phase, follow your jungler around their camps while pushing out waves to maximize farming and ganking potential.
As you weave light and darkness into a tapestry of support mastery, armed with the wisdom of the Senna Support Guide, you're now poised to unleash dawning shadows that not only snipe but also snicker at the futility of your foes.
