Zeri vs Seraphine Counter Pick

Seraphine’s basic spells fire a second time on every third cast, and that passive shifts a bot lane trade more than any raw stat she has. Beat Drop impairs movement along a line, so a doubled Beat Drop into a champion who relies on Spark Surge and stacking Lightning Crash for speed is a fight that’s effectively over before it starts. Zeri posts a 46.1% win rate across 635 games on patch 16.13.1 and is rated Hard.

Seraphine’s base numbers look modest: 570 health, 2,185 at level 18, 50 base attack damage, and a difficulty rating of 0, the lowest possible. Seraphine is outclassed on paper, since Zeri has more health at both ends and a 550 attack range to Seraphine’s 525. The real threat is sustain. Surround Sound hastes and shields nearby allies and also heals them once Seraphine is already shielded, which cancels out the edge Zeri’s burst would otherwise create. Encore charms every champion it hits and extends her range with each target struck. Her damage mixes types, so no single resistance blocks it, and 30 magic resist only covers part of it. Your best window is while Stage Presence is on its first or second cast, and Ultrashock Laser fired off a wall can pin her into movement before Burst Fire goes out.
