What’s everyone’s go to builds with senna support now? I haven’t played in about 2 months and I’ve seen lots of changes come through as far as items and runes revolving around senna. Is Fleet and PTA still good runes?

For context, I used to build Cleaver, RFC, and IE with runes being either PTA, Fleet, or Grasp/undying (depending on enemy team) I don’t enjoy playing her as a mage (ex: aery or deathfire torch with helia) as I enjoy roaming to help jng or other laners or get deep vision early. And roaming for obj as often as possible. I enjoy giving as much lane pressure as possible early game.

So what is everyone’s go to with the current state of the game?

Multiple ADC items have been buffed.

Runaans, Yun Tal, Berserkers (senna doesnt use)

and next patch stormrazor

If the problem was other ADCs being weak, why did they nerf Senna?

She is now weak because she has significantly lower winrate than easy to play champions like Jinx

I always feel like I delay my power spikes because the damage you get from statikk shiv is kinda lackluster. Plus its build path isn’t that great.

Compared to Hexoptics, I feel like I spike more, and get the added lifesteal late game from building crit.

I’ve been tear + pickaxe or tear + cull first back and building Hexoptics as my first legendary item.

From there I like to finish manamune, but could build RFC or IE depending on game state.

From there, last whisper, QSS, shield now, Maw, GA.

I’ve been feeling really good. You definitely are way squishier and you don’t get the little bonus with your Q AP scaling, but I’ve been enjoying crit + Muramana Senna a lot lately, forgoing Statikk and BC entirely.

Thoughts?

He has a LOT more range than me with his abilities and he is faster so he negates mi poke, he can deal 50% of my hp lvl1 if he wants and he scales better and faster. What can I do?

What is she currently building? She changes so often that I have trouble keeping up.

It’s my understanding that DFT isn’t as broken as it was when it granted the fervor move speed from cleaver. However, it still gives some magic damage so makes her harder to itemize against?

I had been running aery -> cleaver -> RFC.

Is statikk now taken over RFF? I like the range from RFC, and statikk had always been a wave clear tool in my eyes?

And is fleet footwork worth taking again with the buffs?

I guess since it's over LAN, it doesn't really matter, but I don't have much time to play or to spend on NA

Over the last week and a bit, I've been testing Voltaic Cyclosword in an attempt to recreate the golden days of Senna. The days where Senna would be top damage in the game more often than not and her survivability wasn't defined by how much health you built but how terrified of you the enemy team was. I made a post a week ago about it but I hadn't gotten much testing in so I didn't want to present it as a "build". Now that I'm more sure of it, I wanted to share the build here. Hopefully no one from Riot notices this and nerfs Senna...

Please note, everything here is for 'Support' Senna and would require some level of adaptation for Bottom.

Items

Voltaic Cyclosword

With the strong alpha damage proc and bonus lethality for 4 seconds, this synergises insanely well with Senna's alpha-damage-oriented kit. This is the focal point of the entire build.

Lord Dominik's Regards

With the raw physical damage being supplied by Senna's passive and Cyclosword, this item comes online incredibly early and is the highest damage second item you can build by a solid margin.

Umbral Glaive

My default 3rd item. It's cheap; it has generous stats, it has fantastic passives. You cannot go wrong with this one.

Infinity Edge

Last item isn't as important since you're already a fully armed and operational intercontinental ballistic death laser. Can't go wrong with IE. BORK also good. Axiom Arc could be nice for extra ults. I don't really know which is the best pickup.

Note: some may scoff and say "but you're a support, you don't have enough gold to build all these expensive items". Ummm, you're wrong. And the items are strong enough that you can keep up on damage even if you're behind so it ends up raising your damage ceiling at no cost.

Runes

• Fleet Footwork (this probably never stopped being the best option but it beats out alternatives because this build benefits more from the positioning control this gives)

• Presence of Mind

• Legend: Alacrity

• Cut Down

• Manaflow Band (along with POM, solves Senna's mana needs)

• Celerity (more speed - more positioning control and kiting)

• Adaptive Force x2 (very strong lane presence and oppressive power in early game)

• Scaling Health (better than upfront health after hitting level 7)

Playstyle

Use bushes or your superior range to get a Q and basic attacks off to take most squishies from 100% to 50% almost instantly. Everything in your kit scales really well with AD and Armor Pen and this build has plenty of both. This way of building Senna has always been more satisfying for me as you get survivability from oppressing the enemy with surprising amounts of damage rather than relying purely on stats like HP.

Senna already dies really quickly if the enemy engages on her with the Black Cleaver build - so the loss of bonus HP really isn't that noticeable. The reduced attack speed compared to Statikk Shiv in return for more damage leads to more impactful feeling attacks and abilities which feels great and fits really well with Senna's fantasy.

Anyone who wanna duo euw and test out a fun combo?- fasting senna with farming soraka!

Thinking of building roa, seraphs and actualizer

Anyone who has suggestions on runes/items for these two?

Could this actually be viable?

hi so i was wondering how many stacks at lets say 10 or 20 minutes should you have on senna supp? (since the soul drop rate got buffed when sho got nerfed off the adc role)

literally the most annoying character in the game up there with hwei if you play this character you should be eliminated in game
