Seraphine combos

Written guide · based on the official ability texts

Harassment

E AA AA

When: An enemy is within area range.

High Note deals area damage, Beat Drop hits in a line and restricts their movement, then your attack benefits from the bonus range of your passive.

Protection

When: Your allies are under threat.

Surround Sound gives haste and a shield to nearby allies; if you already have a shield, it also heals allies. Place it in the middle of the fight.

The chain ultimate

When: Enemies and allies are lined up.

Encore deals damage and charms the enemies hit; its range extends with each champion hit, ally or enemy. Aim to hit as many as possible.

Common mistakes

Casting the ultimate with no ally or enemy to extend its range.
Neglecting the passive: the ability cast twice is your best damage opportunity.
Using Surround Sound too early: its cooldown is long.

Cooldowns, costs and ranges

A combo only comes back once its abilities are off cooldown: these values (rank 1 to max rank, in seconds) tell how long to wait between two combos. Source: Data Dragon 16.19.1.
