Runes & Summoner Spells

Primary Path (Sorcery):

Summon Aery – Boosts both poke damage and shielding, synergizing with Seraphine’s dual utility.


Manaflow Band – Alleviates mana issues by restoring mana and increasing capacity.


Transcendence – Grants ability haste at levels 5 and 8, and cooldown reduction on takedowns.


Scorch – Adds lane poke pressure in early engagements; swap to Gathering Storm if scaling late-game.


Secondary Path Options:

Inspiration with Magical Footwear and Cosmic Insight – Free boots and cooldown/item haste are highly synergistic with her kit.


Alternatively, Precision (e.g., Presence of Mind + Legend: Haste) offers sustain and more ability haste, a frequent choice in full‑AP builds.


Summoner Spells:

Flash is essential for dodging aggression or enabling combos. Teleport is a viable second pick for map influence—but Flash is a must-have.


Core Items & Itemization Paths
Poke‑Utility Core:

Sorcerer’s Shoes – Magic penetration to increase waveclear and poke impact.


Liandry’s Torment – Strong burn and poke synergy; excels vs. tanky enemies or persistent harassment.


Seraph’s Embrace (Archangel’s) – Sustained mana, AP, and survivability.


Cosmic Drive – Boosts ability haste and mobility, helping with spells and escaping.


Rabadon’s Deathcap – Spike in AP for stronger poke and waveclear.



Situational Items:

Void Staff for magic resist-heavy teams; Cryptbloom for healing/shield-heavy comps.


Rylai’s Crystal Scepter – Converts slows to roots/stuns, great vs mobile or engage comps—but situational.


Full‑AP (Burst‑Oriented) Path:

Build Path: Luden’s or Malignance → Archangel’s (if needed) → Horizon Focus or Shadowflame → situational items like Void or Obvious Orb.


Enchanter‑Utility Path:

Build Path: Archangel’s → Moonstone Renewer or Staff of Flowing Water → Redemption or Dawncore → situational burst utility (e.g., Rylai’s if needed).

Gameplay Tips

Echo Mechanics: Use your passive "Echo" to double-cast abilities like Beat Drop (E) or High Note (Q) for maximum poke or CC.


Beat Drop Synergy: Root enemies already slowed; paired with Rylai’s, you can guarantee stuns.


Encore (R): Use near allies to extend chain hits across the enemy team—ideally from behind, or near walls/choke points.


Playstyle: Focus on lane priority via poke and Echo combos in early-mid. Transition to teamfight utility—shield/heal via W, poke via Q/E, and ultimate to control fights.




“Rylai's is situational... Seraphine much prefers items that provide her with ability haste... health is nice, but it’s not a core stat.”
Summing up the general stance on Rylai's — build primarily when CC lockdown is key.


"Generally speaking… Liandry’s + Cosmic Drive + Rabadon is strong; situational: Void Staff for MR, Chemtech for anti‑heal, Rylai’s for dive comps."
