Seraphine KDA: The New Taiwanese Comp in patch 14.1 - Challenger Guide

See frobei's Twitch channel

Only a few people are catching up with this comp, and few people play it. This comp is good thanks to many factors:

  • AP items buffs
  • Lulu and Hyperpop buffs (for mid-game until you find Ahri)
  • Sona AP / Heal buff (for potential very late game boards)
  • Less counters in the meta (Riven is tough to beat though)

Your goal at lvl 8 is to have one full tank (usually Neeko), Seraphine 3 with 2 items plus the Superfan item (Rabaddon) and at least another side carry. Ideally it's Ahri with 3 items to support Seraphine's weakness (she can one shot tanky units) but if you dropped many AD items it's best to stuff Akali

GAMEPLAN

This is a reroll comp that is a little tricky, so here's the gameplan if you don't highroll Seraphine in stage 2 and you can't winstreak with her:

  • Consider Seraphine reroll at stage 2-1 if you have one of the augments shown in the Augment section below and at least a tear as one of your first component
  • Lose all stage 2 on purpose, don't pick a headliner so you can highroll Seraphine and rush your gold interest as much as you can
  • Don't hesitate to pick a Spatula on the carousel if there is one. The KDA emblem is quite valuable in this comp
  • Scout to see if you are contested or not (important!)
  • At stage 3-2, push lvl 6 and roll until you have a 2-star frontline + Seraphine headliner
  • From this point you should win most fights so rebuild your econ back to 50 gold
  • IF YOU ARE CONTESTED: you will stay lvl 6 to roll for Seraphine 3 and then push your levels
  • IF YOU ARE NOT CONTESTED: you will slowly push lvl 7 at stage 4-2
  • At lvl 7, you will slow-roll for Seraphine and you should have a fair amount of chance to find Neeko 3, Ahri and Akali
  • Once you hit Seraphine 3, aim to push lvl 8 and play with 7 KDA + Akali 2 and Ahri 2
  • If you can, try to reach lvl 9 and add late game units such as Illaoi, Sona, Ziggs or Lulu for Hyperpop

Having a two-star frontline + Searphine chosen are the most important part if you want to stabilize your board for Stage 3. Lulu for Spellweaver + Hyperpop OR another KDA is great to add more strength to your board

Since Seraphine already gets a Rabaddon from the superfan trait, you only need two items on her so try to get:

  • one time for mana generation (Shojin, BB or Adaptive Helm)
  • one utility item / attack speed OR AP items (morello being utility, AP AND attack speed item so it's the best)

ADDITIONAL TIP

If during your 3-2 stabilization you find Seraphine Spellweaver instead of KDA, you can play with her and sell it at stage 4-2 when you will roll down for Seraphine 3 since the next Seraphine headliner will be KDA guaranteed
