One of the few champions that can both play as an ADC and support, Senna is surely a popular champion in League of Legends. Released on November 10, 2019, Senna quickly became a player's favorite. Her story is not just about fighting battles in the game; it's also a touching love story with her husband, Lucian. Together, they show us that love can survive even the hardest challenges. Here is everything you need to know about Senna!

Senna abilities

Here are all of the Senna abilities:

PASSIVE: ABSOLUTION

When units die near Senna, their souls are periodically trapped by the Black Mist. Senna can attack these souls to free them, absorbing the Mist that held them in death. Mist fuels her Relic Cannon's power with increased Attack Damage, Attack Range, and Critical Strike Chance. Attacks from Senna's Relic Cannon take longer to fire, deal bonus damage, and briefly grant her a portion of her target's Move Speed.

Senna's passive, Absolution, fuels her power by collecting mist. Nearby enemy deaths leave behind mist wraiths, which she can harvest with basic attacks or damaging abilities. Each wraith grants bonus attack damage, attack range, and critical strike chance, scaling her into a late-game monster. Additionally, landing attacks or abilities twice on the same enemy siphons additional mist, dealing bonus damage based on their health. Remember, patience is key! Prioritize mist collection for a powerful late game.

Q PIERCING DARKNESS

From the twin barrels of her Relic Cannon, Senna fires a unified beam of light and shadow through a target, healing allies and damaging enemies.

Piercing Darkness fires a beam of light and shadow, healing allies and damaging enemies in its path. This versatile ability offers sustain for your team and poke for your enemies. Use it strategically during trades or teamfights to keep your allies healthy and deal surprise damage. Remember, the beam pierces through minions, allowing you to reach priority targets in the backline.

W LAST EMBRACE

Senna sends forth a wave of Black Mist. If it hits an enemy it latches onto them hungrily, rooting them and everything nearby after a brief delay.

You can root enemies and catch them off-guard with this skill.

E CURSE OF THE BLACK MIST

Senna draws the Mist she has stored in her weapon into a storm around her, embracing darkness and becoming a wraith within. Allies who enter the area are camouflaged and also appear as wraiths as the Mist shrouds them. Wraiths gain increased Move Speed, are unselectable, and hide their identities.

R DAWNING SHADOW

Senna calls upon the relic stones of fallen Sentinels, splitting her relic cannon into a holy array of shadow and light. She then fires a global beam that shields allies from harm, while damaging enemies caught in the center.

Senna's ultimate, Dawning Shadow, grants global vision and allows her to fire a massive beam of light from her relic cannon, damaging enemies it hits. This game-changing ability offers unmatched map presence and powerful area-of-effect damage. Use it to snipe low-health enemies across the map, secure kills in teamfights, or peel for allies caught in danger. Remember, the beam's direction is locked when you cast it, so aim carefully!

Best Senna build in League of Legends

When playing Senna, remember not to use your ultimate move, Dawning Shadow, during fast-paced fight moments because it's slow to activate and makes you vulnerable. Also, only use Curse of the Black Mist for escapes, not in the heat of battle, to save mana. From the start, play offensively to maximize damage against your opponents. Here is the best Senna build:

  • Spells: Exhaust, Flash
  • Runes:
    • Main: Fleet Footwork, Presence of Mind, Legend: Alacrity, Cut Down
    • Secondary: Approach Velocity, Biscuit Delivery
    • Shards: Attack Speed, Adaptive Force, Health Scaling (depends on the opponent)
  • Items:
    • Start with Bloodsong, then get Boots of Swiftness and Umbral Glaive.
    • Complete your setup with Youmuu's Ghostblade, Rapid Firecannon, and Lord Dominik's Regards.
  • Abilities: Prioritize Q, then W, followed by E.

Alternative Strategy

  • Spells: Exhaust, Flash
  • Runes:
    • Main: Grasp of the Undying, Font of Life, Bone Plating, Revitalize
    • Secondary: Legend: Alacrity, Presence of Mind
    • Shards: Attack Speed, Adaptive Force, Health Scaling
  • Items:
    • Begin with Bloodsong, followed by Boots of Swiftness, and Umbral Glaive.
    • Finish with Edge of Night, Rapid Firecannon, and Chempunk Chainsword.
  • Skill Focus: Start with Q, then W, and E.

These builds enhance Senna's versatility, ensuring she remains a formidable presence in any match.
