She can power up its range, Attack Damage, and Crit chance over time by absorbing Mist from enemy champions she's attacking or from wraiths that spawn from dead enemies.

[quote=Fruxo]I feel like her abilities sound a bit too overpowered, especially that global ultimate. But we'll see, sounds interesting so far. x)[/quote]

[quote=Marumo][quote=Fruxo]I feel like her abilities sound a bit too overpowered, especially that global ultimate. But we'll see, sounds interesting so far. x)[/quote] I think I'd have to agree, sounds like there's just a tad too much in her kit. Will have to wait and see how the actual numbers work out but at the moment I can see a lot of nerfs incoming after release. The E and W especially bring up a lot of worry.[/quote]

[quote=qtANG]her global ult is so op that i've seen a streamer one-shotting the enemy at their fountain, while the streamer himself is thousand miles away from the enemy fountain. That's zero percent counter play to this.[/quote]

[quote=ShadowFox101]They'll probably nerf it later. Overall Senna does seem to have too much, mutli-champion camophlage/untargetability, healing, aoe roots, and good damage is definitely a bit overloaded. She'll probably go through the typical OP phase and the nerf/buff roller coaster.[/quote]
