Pyke
Pyke can surprise Senna with his sneak attacks and crowd control, taking advantage of her low resistance.
Aphelios
Aphelios has a high reliance on a support that can heal him and help him position himself, and Senna's ability to provide healing and additional damage from a distance is perfect for this.

Champion Build Guide
With the arrival of this new patch I felt that, in a way, all the Sennas I saw were still very lost with the news, so I decided to test some builds (and others that I didn't include that I should add in the future) and share with them all. Even though I'm not the greatest Senna connoisseur I may have, I still try to help everyone who might become interested in this champion that I have so much affection for.
#### **Passive - Absolution**
- **Collection Goal**: Aim to collect around 20 souls every 5 minutes. This helps ensure you’re maximizing your damage potential and scaling effectively throughout the game.
- **Safety First**: Don’t put yourself at risk just to collect souls. Prioritize staying alive, avoiding situations where you can be easily eliminated.
- **Efficient Collection**: Use your auto-attacks to safely free souls. When possible, collect souls from nearby monsters or fallen enemies.
- **Maximize [Q] Range**: Use **Q** to collect distant souls. This is particularly useful in lane where positioning is crucial for safety.
- **Take Advantage of Downtime**: If your jungler is nearby, position yourself near camps to collect souls while not engaged in lane.
- **Stacking in Fights**: In extended teamfights, position yourself to collect multiple souls at once, especially after securing kills, to accelerate your scaling.
#### **Q - Piercing Darkness**
- **Strategic Positioning**: Position behind your ADC and line up with the enemy to ensure **Q** hits both for damage and healing, maximizing its impact.
- **Trading Combos**: Use the **Auto-attack + Q + Auto-attack** combo for quick, efficient trades. This combo not only helps secure trades but also facilitates soul collection.
- **Use on Wards and Minions**: Cast **Q** through wards or minions to damage enemies and heal allies without exposing yourself to danger.
- **Set Up W**: The slow from **Q** makes it easier to land **W**, allowing you to root enemies more effectively.
- **Synergy with Items**: Use **Q** with items like **Redemption** or **Iceborn Gautlet** to enhance healing and crowd control.
- **Maximizing in Poke**: Against long-range champions, use **Q** to apply constant pressure while keeping your ally healed.
#### **W - Last Embrace**
- **Animation Hiding**: Hide the **W** animation by auto-attacking or using **Q** right before casting **W**, making it harder for enemies to dodge.
- **Use in the Mist**: Cast **W** while in **E** to further hide its animation and increase the chances of landing the root.
- **Root on Minions**: Use **W** on dying minions to instantly root nearby enemies, punishing them for approaching the wave.
- **Defensive Use**: **W** can also be used defensively to root chasing enemies, providing an opportunity to escape.
- **Predict Enemy Movements**: Anticipating enemy movement helps you land **W** more consistently due to its activation delay.
#### **E - Curse of the Black Mist**
- **Evade Enemy Attacks**: Use **E** to move in and out of range, making it easier to dodge abilities and auto-attacks.
- **Safe Exploration**: **E** allows you to safely explore areas of the map, using camouflage to avoid detection.
- **Gank Setup**: Use **E** to set up ganks with your
jungler, providing stealth and mobility for both, catching enemies by surprise.
- **Fast Movement**: Upon leaving base, use **E** to speed up your return to lane, ensuring you’re ready for fights and strategies.
- **Perception Trickery**: The **E** mist can confuse enemies about your team’s movements, especially during ambushes.
- **Objective Setup**: Use **E** to cloak your team near key objectives, setting up favorable fights or surprise attacks.
#### **R - Dawning Shadow**
- **Map Awareness**: Always keep an eye on the map and use **R** to reach distant enemies or allies. This global ability can turn the tide of fights by providing shields and dealing damage.
- **Vision Utility**: **R** can be used to grant vision in crucial areas, particularly around objectives or in ambush situations.
- **Combos with Other Abilities**: Combine **R** with **Q** slow or **W** root to ensure it hits its target, increasing its accuracy and effectiveness.
- **Objective Steals**: You can use **R** to disrupt or even attempt to steal major objectives like Baron or Dragon, creating chaos and an opportunity for your jungler to secure the objective.
