[2.4] Seraphine Guide - Seraphine Support for v2.4a patch

(STARTING ITEMS)

1. Sapphire Crystal - buy this first and then rush Tear of the Goddess afterwards so you can stack more mana until it reaches 700 stack which will become Seraph's Embrace . Tip: Buy this first before using your skill upon spawning so that you can have a stack before going to your respective lane. Reason is new Sapphire Crystal buff can now gives a stack, just like Tear of the Goddess item, and can stack very early to upgrade the desired item itself.

2. [Boots] - for a standard mobility.

(CORE ITEMS)

1. Tear of the Goddess - rush this first for stacking but don't upgrade it yet. 

2. Ionian Boots of Lucidity - for Ability Haste since her abilities has very long cooldown especially in early laning. If your attempt to build Staff of Flowing Waters then you can pretty much change your boots to defensive approach, [Mercury Treads] against AP or CC focused champs and Plated Steelcaps against AD.

3. Harmonic Echo - now this is a must have for all mage supports out there. This item synergy with her 2nd Ability Shield>Heal. When she have full stack from her passive (2 stacks to be exact), pressing 2nd Ability will proc this item's passive and heal your ally with lowest HP of them along with your healing skill. Not to mention, this item has an AP scaling for its bonus healing which is why it is very suited and best to have.

(UPGRADE BOOTS)

1. Redeeming Enchant - you can upgrade your boots early after getting Tear of the Goddess if your team always getting in trouble. Or then build this after Archangel's Staff . Or maybe later on.

2. [Locket Enchant] - same goes to Redeeming Enchant but it is use in teamfights if your team is getting lost. Good for extra survivability if your abilities is not enough.

3. [Shadows Enchat] - if your team is very well from the start. Good for seeking sneaking sneks in the brush which is also good for revealing their position, slowing them down and approximately locate enemies whenever you go.

4. [Stasis Enchant] - only build this if you are always getting killed first in the fight. So that you can heal and protect your allies even further.

(ITEMS TO CONSIDER)

1. Rylai's Crystal Scepter - an item that doesnt work on Seraphine since her release and what's that? The bug from her 3rd Ability doesn't stack the slow from the item's slow which it must root the enemy. It will work now because of her new bugfix. Good HP and AP stats which Seraphine needs for survivability.

2. Staff of Flowing Waters - good item if two or more of your ally is an AP Mage. Just like Ardent Censer , it gives boost of AP and AH whenever you shielding them.

3. Crystalline Reflector - good situational item if your team is behind or maybe you are always getting killed by their AD Assasin/Marksman/Fighter. Good for protecting yourself at least. Otherwise, build Morellonomicon or Guardian Angel depending on your situation.

(SITUATIONAL ITEMS)

1. Morellonomicon - The reason behind this item is it gives Grevious Wound debuff (reduces enemies' regeneration/healing/lifesteal effect they receive) and Penetration effect. It is best counter item if the enemy has multiple of Regeneration, Lifesteal or Healing on their team, such as Dr. Mundo/Seraphine/Soraka/Nami/Draven etc.) Note: You can also skip this item and go straight to the other AP items (such Void Staff or Awakened Soulstealer ) if your team can handle those effects.

2.   Awakened Soulstealer - if you and your team is ahead and well fed. With its Ability Haste power within it, she can spam her skills consistently and become a fountain of walking base for your team. Also, it will reduce your Ultimate to 30 seconds or less with full stack from this item along with your other Ability Haste. It is an alternative item if you don't want to build Staff of Flowing Waters since they both do the same job.

3. Ardent Censer - only and only if build this when your ADR rely on Attack Speed (like Ashe , Vayne , [Kaisa], Xayah , etc). Otherwise, don't bother. It is because it gives good amount of attack speed both you and your ADC with additional empowering ADC's basic attack. Good offensive item.

4. Zeke's Convergence - good item for more damage for your team and more defense for yourself.

5. Athene's Unholy Grail  - build this if the enemy has many AP damage dealers. Also, it can stack well with Harmonic Echo which means more healing. Good alternative for Spirit Visage .

6. [Rabadon Deathcap] and Void Staff - go for this items if the enemy has many tanks or stacking magic resist. Or maybe, you want to be a midlaner version 2.

7. Guardian Angel and/or ]Spirit Visage] - build this as your last item slot, or maybe not. Choose between GA if you want to continue supporting your team after death or SV if you want to increasse your self healing. Either way, go for number 7.
