- Corner Seraphine on the back line and put Poppy in front of it.
- Split Seraphine and Jinx across the back line so a single area spell can't hit both.
- Poppy, Neeko, and Kobuko hold the front line — put the tankiest one opposite the enemy carry.
- Against assassins, step your carries up one row and leave Rell and Kobuko in the back corners as bait.

Strategic Tips

Build Jeweled Gauntlet, Radiant Spear of Shojin, and Radiant Spear of Shojin on Seraphine.
