Combos and how to play

Sejuani is an ice jungler-tank: out of combat she gains Frost Armor (armor, magic resistance, immunity to slows), and she can shatter a stunned enemy for huge magic damage. Arctic Assault knocks up, Winter's Wrath applies Frost stacks, Permafrost stuns a champion at max Frost, and Glacial Prison freezes the first champion hit.
