The next champion in League of Legends (LoL) will be Seraphine. Before her release, all her abilities have been leaked. What can the new hero do?
What is it about? Seraphine’s abilities have now been spread through a leak in the community. The theme of the new champion is music, and it seems that her voice plays an important role.
We already know that Seraphine will be the next new champion in LoL. However, developer Riot Games has been tight-lipped about her abilities until now. A leak on reddit, however, sheds light on the matter. The video presents all the abilities.
Visually, Seraphine in the leak resembles another champion associated with music: Sona. However, it seems that Seraphine can be more aggressive with her abilities.
Seraphine’s Abilities – What can she do?
We present the abilities from the leak here. Keep in mind that these have not yet been verified and may change by the time Seraphine is released.
Passive “Echo”: Every third basic ability gets an echo. It will then be cast again. Casting an ability marks a nearby ally. For each mark, Seraphine’s next basic attack deals more damage and has a longer range. The marks are consumed upon attacking.
Q “High Note”: Deals magical damage in an area. The damage increases based on how much health the opponent has already lost.
W “Surround Sound”: Applies a shield to all nearby allied champions and grants them increased movement speed. If Seraphine has already been shielded, nearby allies are healed. The healing is based on the missing health of the allies.
E “Beat Drop”: Deals magical damage and slows affected enemies. If the target has already been slowed, it is instead rooted. (So, if you cast E with Echo, it first slows and then roots).
R “Encore”: Deals magical damage and charms enemies hit by the spell. The spell expands every time an ally or enemy is hit by it.
How to play Seraphine? It is quite possible that with the new champion, you have a strong choice for a supporter. With slowing or rooting, shields or healing, she offers similar abilities to Karma. Plus, she has a charm that can expand. It seems like CC is important here.
However, due to the enhancement of her attacks, Seraphine could also be an important addition to your team combo as a pure spellcaster. She is set to be released on the LoL test server (PTR) on October 13th.
How do you like the leaked abilities? Does Seraphine seem like a champion you might enjoy playing?
The spells seem easy to understand. Quite different from Samira, whose gameplay was too complex for many.
