[2.3] Seraphine Guide - Pitch Perfect - Seraphine support guide

I like to take Sapphire Crystal since buying Archangel's Staff for Seraphine is very important. It gives a lot of CDR and also tons of mana to spam skills as much as you want.

As for me, I like to build this item before Boots of Speed I always prefer to buy stackable items first, since the earlier you fully stack them - the better. Take Luden's Echo afterwards, since it will offer you more CDR, more mana and the passive effect is good since seraphine has skills that are designed to hit entire teams.

But if you prefer speed, take Boots of Speed and upgrade to Ionian Boots of Lucidity , and top it of with Redeeming Enchant or [locket enchant], depending on the situation. I typically take [locket enchant] against burst champions such as Katarina , since the shield is instant and cannot be shut down by Grevious wounds. In other cases I recommand Redeeming Enchant because the utility it offers is greater, and its also cheaper. 

Now my loves, if carrying as seraphine is what your truly aiming to achieve - Build her like a mage, and don't take even a single tank item. Remember the rule: More AP - More DHS (damage, heal, shield). The items consist of Liandry's Torment since it will also cause your passive notes to trigger its effects, Rabadon's Deathcap for more AP, and Morellonomicon for anti-heal, magic pen, and some HP. If the enemy doesn't have a lot of heals, take Void Staff instead. Its cheaper and offers the same AP.

Now for the reason why I think support mage items are NOT ideal for Seraphine . Here is a thing all these items have in common - you have to shield or heal to trigger their effects. Seraphine only has one ability that does so, and Its cooldown is quite long, even in late game. So where a support like Sona can trigger the effects all the time, Seraphine will be able to do so about once per team fight. That's why I believe building her as a full mage is more rewarding.
