- Has incredible carry potential as a support in terms of damage.

- Can farm faster then other supports, as each soul she collects grants bonus gold.
- Global ult.
- Cool in-game effects :)
Cons
- Very squishy.
- Has rather long cooldowns.

Senna Build
Best Build Guide for Senna
Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
During the early game,
Senna
's range is shorter then my... well, very short. I would take
Boots of Speed
first since it will allow you to get in and out of poke range quicker, allowing you to collect souls from enemies more safely.
Core items for
Senna
are
Frozen Mallet
,
Rapid Firecannon
and [duskblade of darktharr], along with
Boots of Swiftness
as the next boots.
Frozen Mallet
will make all your attacks slow enemies, allowing you and your team to catch up to them quicker.
Rapid Firecannon
willl allow you to have MASSIVE range once you stack up enough souls, and [duskblade of darktharr] combined with yout third skill is basically a new improved attack each time you enter or re-enter the mist.
Next items should really depend on the situation. If the enemy is very tanky, I would take
Mortal Reminder
along with
Black Cleaver
to reduce all that armor. If the enemy is very squishy, you could take
Infinity Edge
for a lot of damage with
Manamune
for more AD and the double damage passive. If you do decide to build manamune, try bulding it early as this is a stacking item and will take time to fully upgrade.
Senna Runes
Best Runes for Senna
When it comes to playing
Senna
, runes can be very diverse, and let me explain each section and why they are.
For your main rune, I'd take either
Grasp of the Undying
or
Conqueror
. The first one will help you deal a little more damage while keeping you healthy, and since her first skill applies on-hit effects, this rune can be triggered with it as well. The second rune is better if you want to be the true carry of your team, as all of
Senna
's abilities scale with BONUS AD and it will give you adaptive bonus damage once fully stacked.
Domination rune will be either
Brutal
or
Weakness
. The first rune is more damage for yourself, while the second one, combined with
Frozen Mallet
, will also you to trigger the bonus damage each time you basic attack an enemy.
Resolve rune will be
Loyalty
. You are playing a support, so this is important.
As for the last one,most people would take
Pack Hunter
, but I believe that
Pathfinder
is actually better. I know, your playing support and not jungle, but you must understand that collecting souls is one of the most important things to do, and if you take pathfinder, you'll be able to roam from lane to lane quicker, collecting all these souls from the minions your team is either killing or just leaving behind. Also this rune, combined with [senna:3] will also allow you to move and ward more safely in later stages of the game, as you will be very fast and hard to catch.

Combos

This will be a basic combo to collect a soul during laning phase. You can also use a basic attack first before
Piercing Darkness
, so long as you hit both within 4 seconds.
Keep your team safe and your enemies stuck with this teamfight combo. Root your enemies with
Last Embrace
and when your team go in for the engage,follow up with
Piercing Darkness
and then
Dawning Shadow
to protect them!
Senna Matchups & Counters
Detailed information on how to play matchups and counters
He is rather easy to bullt throughout the whole laning phase.
Help, Pix!
Whimsy
Grand Entrance
Overcome the darkness
1. Unlike
Nasus
, you don't need ONLY minions and monsters to stack souls. Remember to poke enemies and collect souls from them as well, especially during laning phase.
2.
Curse Of The Black Mist
will speed both you and your teammates. Use this to roam and get them around the map faster.
3.
Piercing Darkness
will heal and damage at the same time, so make sure to position yourself behind your teammates to have both effects.
4.
Last Embrace
will automatically go off if the target hit is killed. Finishing off a low health minion that's near an enemy champion will help you root them instantly.
5.Don't forget your flashlight, as the darkness can be scary sometimes...
