Respect

•
double-cast — If it hits, you are rooted for 1.25s, allowing her ADC to safely kite you and win the trade.
•
range extension — It can travel across the entire lane if it bounces through minions and champions, leading to a full team charm.
•
long cooldown — If you engage while this is up and miss , she can shield and haste her way out of your combo.
•
execute damage — It deals significantly more damage when you are low; don't stay in lane with less than 30% HP.

Punish

•
is down — She has a 20+ second cooldown on this; engage as soon as you see her use it to guarantee a kill.
•
Missing — She has no way to stop your jump; immediately engage on her or the ADC.
•
Low Mana — Seraphine is heavily mana-dependent; if she is low, walk past her minions and zone her out of the lane.
•
Level 2 power spike — If you hit level 2 first, into can often force her Flash or get an early First Blood.

Wave Management

Early

Let her push the wave toward your tower; she naturally pushes with and you want the lane long to chase her down.

Post-6

Freeze the wave near your tower to force her to step up for farm, then use and to punish her overextension.
