Senna's Abilities

Ability	Threat	What It Means For You
	High	She gains range and AD by hitting you twice. Never let her get the second hit or soul pull for free.
	Med	A long beam that heals her and damages you. Stay offset from your low-health minions so she can't poke through them.
	High	A delayed root. Use immediately to sidestep this or you will be forced to cleanse or die.
	Low	Camouflage that makes her unselectable. You can still see the mist; stay close to reveal her if you are committed to the fight.
	Med	Global shield and damage. In a 1v1, dodge the center beam to avoid damage while she gets the shield.

Lane Phase

Lvl 1-5

→Prioritize CS over trading; every auto you take gives her a soul via .
→Stay behind minions but move laterally to avoid the linear hitbox of .
→Save specifically to dodge or to secure a cannon minion under pressure.
→If she lands one auto, back off instantly so she cannot follow up with or another auto to pull a soul.

Lvl 6+Power spike

→Your combat power with is much higher than hers. Look for an all-in if she misses .
→Use the invisibility from during to close the gap and avoid her slow-windup auto attacks.
→Watch the map; can impact other lanes. Ping your team if she turns her back to fire it.

Trading Patterns

Safe Poke

Wait for her to step up for a soul, then + auto and immediately move back into your minion wave.

Punish

When is on cooldown, you have a 12-15 second window to walk up. Use to get in range for a 3-hit proc.

All-in

Activate -> forward to dodge -> Auto-attack -> her into a wall -> Full auto-attack combo until dead.

Respect

•
Soul Stacking — If she gets too many souls, she will eventually outrange your ability to even approach her.
•
Root — Hitting this guarantees she pulls a soul and lets her support follow up with more CC.
•
Poke — It has a longer range than your autos and heals her, making your trades feel useless.
•
Early Game Range — You cannot win a poke war. Respect her range or you will be forced to base early.

Punish

•
is missed — This is your primary window to engage with as she has no reliable way to stop you.
•
Senna's Auto Attack Wind-up — Her autos take a long time to fire. Hit her with + auto while she is locked in her animation.
•
Post-Level 6 All-in — Use to stat-check her. Her ultimate is a utility tool while yours is a pure combat steroid.
•
Positioned near walls — Senna is squishy. If she walks near a wall to poke, use to stun and kill her.

Wave Management

Early

Let the wave push to you. Farming under or near your tower limits her ability to poke you without taking tower shots.

Post-6

Freeze the wave near your tower. This forces her to overextend for souls, creating a long lane for you to run her down with .
