- Corner Seraphine on the back line and put K'Sante in front of it.
- Split Seraphine and Jinx across the back line so a single area spell can't hit both.
- Braum, K'Sante, and Poppy 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
Economy
Stay on interest and save your big roll for level 9 at stage 5-1.
Itemization
Build Morellonomicon, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Void Staff on Seraphine.
When to pivot
Scout at 2-1 and 3-2: if two or more players hold your core units, or you haven't found any by 3-2, move into one of the comps on the Similar Comps tab instead of forcing Star Guardian Seraphine.
