So You Want to Main Senna... (Support)

This guide will teach you how to poke enemies into oblivion, save teammates with last-second heals, and land clutch ultimates. Whether you’re farming souls or stealing your ADC’s kills (oops), you’ll soon become the shadowy sniper your team didn’t know they needed.

Pros

  • ✅ Infinite Scaling: Collect souls, get stronger—forever!
  • ✅ Insane Range: Outpoke almost any lane opponent.
  • ✅ Team-Saving Utility: Heals, shields, and map-wide ultimates make you the MVP.
  • ✅ Kill Secu—Er, Assist Mastery: You’re a support, not a carry...right?

Cons

  • ❌ Squishy: Like, "blink and you’re dead" squishy.
  • ❌ Reliant on Souls: No souls = no scaling. Better get clicking.
  • ❌ Skillshot Dependent: If you miss 2nd or Ultimate, it’s awkward for everyone
  • ❌ ADC Patience Required: Your “support” damage might ruffle some feathers.

Senna Build Breakdown


Starting Item: I usually starts with [Ancient Coin] as the first item instead of Relic ShieldRelic Shield , since it gives you both HP and Ability Haster instead of just HP. But that item does not seems to be around here. I only put Relic ShieldRelic Shield as a decoy/dummy.


Core Item: Boots of SwiftnessBoots of Swiftness doesn't exist in the game anymore so do go for [Berserker's Greaves] instead for more Attack Speed and AD (Attack Damage). Next, you want to build [Tear of Goddess] to stack it up to 700 stacks before you buy ManamuneManamune . Then, buy [Locket Enchant] and Iceborn GauntletIceborn Gauntlet for more mana, tankiness, and slow effects. Only then you finish your ManamuneManamune because your stacks would be enough for it to evolve to MuramanaMuramana .


Situational Item: Buy Executioner's CallingExecutioner's Calling early if the enemy have healing champions like [Morgana], Dr. MundoDr. Mundo , and VladimirVladimir after you bought [Tear of Goddess]. Complete it to Mortal ReminderMortal Reminder after you bought all your Core Item. If the enemy have high shields like SeraphineSeraphine , KarmaKarma , or even [Morgana]'s shield!
