Swain into Seraphinemedium

Overview

Control brush to deny Seraphine's poke and limit her empowered root angles.
Use root threat to create ADC follow-up windows and force Seraphine's team to spread.
Prioritize river vision to protect ADC from Seraphine's level 6 charm and roaming pressure.

Threaten from minion angles but only pull when ADC can immediately follow up damage.
Hold for extended fights where Seraphine's ADC cannot kite out or disengage.
Deny Seraphine brush access to reduce her poke angles and prevent her empowered spell setups.

Seraphine's empowered root combined with ADC slows creates high threat; avoid grouped positioning.
Level 6 charm can catch multiple targets; keep ADC spaced and ready to disengage.
Seraphine's poke range and shield force you to commit only when root is guaranteed and ADC can follow.

Win level 2 by landing + combo with ADC follow-up to punish Seraphine's poke.
Hold brush control early to block Seraphine's empowered slow/root setup.
Coordinate wave crash timing with ADC to enable safe roams and deny Seraphine mid pressure.

Level 2 unlocks + root and poke combo; use this timing to force Seraphine back or secure ADC damage.
Level 3 adds slow and vision; leverage brush control to land and chain slows for ADC follow-up.
Level 6 transforms fights; engage only with confirmed ADC follow-up and river vision to avoid enemy counter-engage.

Convert roots into kills by coordinating with ADC burst and denying enemy ADC positioning.
Use lane and brush control to limit Seraphine's poke and force her into inefficient trades.
Set river vision and time roams after wave crashes to pressure mid and secure dragon objectives safely.
