Who Wins

  • Smolder + Seraphine win pre-6 through superior range, poke, and wave control - you cannot match their trading range or sustain.
  • Post-6 you gain kill threat with R but they still control the lane through range advantage and disengage tools.

Synergy & Trading

  • Use Q to dodge Seraphine's abilities then immediately auto-E-auto for Silver Bolts proc when she steps forward to trade.
  • Focus Smolder when Seraphine abilities are down since he has no escape pre-6.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Accept being pushed in and farm under tower - their range advantage makes it impossible to contest waves early.
  • Look for freezes when they back or roam since you outscale Smolder in pure 1v1 scenarios.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Never tumble forward aggressively without vision of their jungler since you have no escape tools.
  • Don't try to match their poke trades - you'll lose the sustain war and get chunked out of lane.
