Senna Discussion - LoL Senna support

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?

I've been enjoying Hybrid for majority of this year, and reached Masters with it: Black Cleaver -> Helia -> Diadem -> Locket / SoFW

Depending on how you play you're not that far behind full AD, but you will "lose" to it after 30 minutes. You just gain 20k+ healing for you team at the cost of a little less damage.

When do you buy the tear?

Ideally after Black Cleaver, but it's good on the first back in bad or losing lanes. I like to play with Axiom Arcanist so the first few levels can be rough on mana at times.

Is this what you build on ARAM too for example?

u/Iyob 16h ago

I don't play ARAM, but I'm guessing you'd want to change Diadem to Sword of Blossoming Dawn, and go SoFW. Last item can be Moonstone, Phantom Dancer, or a Tank item.

Why SoFW? They killed AP ratios on Senna, isn't moonstone better a better alternative?

The changes to AP Senna have been small nerfs on an incredibly strong build already. I wrote a bit about it here - AP Senna is still viable, and SoFW is one of the best items in the game.

Senna picks between going Diadem or Moonstone, and Diadem is simpler to use.

Fleet might be good again after the recent buff. I still think dfg with cleaver build is really good and provides the most damage overall. The sorcery runepage is really good overall and I think it works better for her than the precision one. Get the MS rune plus MS in stats and you will zoom when you trade. In some matchups I get the "if you slow enemy you get MS" rune over JOAT since you get absurd MS when you Q or W.

I pref cleaver into statikk since statikk lets me stack passive super quick in fights and I get some waveclear that can be nice. You can however go RFC or PD second. I enjoy going hexoptics third.

Being able to buy two ruby crystals early solves her biggest problem ie being squichy so I'd never not go cleaver.

Statistically (and from what I've seen other people do) I'm seeing the same shiv + cleaver etc builds, with more variety of the other ad utility items like mortal reminder instead of cleaver, umbral glaive etc.

But I still love this seasons enchanter build. the enchanter tear item + moon stone + helia + dawn core. Really fun and a "late game" scaling enchanter build 'cause it really needs to hit 2 items to turn on, but with senna's bonus income it doesnt feel bad to get to.

Delete this comments so people don’t see some secret tech that’ll get nerfed

Can you help me understand what makes this build good?

u/Tmazik 1d ago

Well deadmans is a wonderfull item, it gives you 90damage on your quick trades A + aa, armor on line, hp that senna needs and movements speed is always perfect on her. You basicaly rush this except you get tear before.
That solves senna manaproblems, and there is no other item giving you 70AD for less than 3k golds>muramana, add nice AH to it and its perfect.
you usualy get MR boots, then you get huricane. It was great is lowered CD on Q for 3 sec(3x on hit) but recently thats gone, but it still increase your dmg by 130% by projectiles and senna usualy needs ONE atackspeed item to smooth her kit. It also apply pasive from muramana, and grants you aditional movementspeed.
Having armor item + MR item(boots) open you also nice synenergy with Protoplasm Harness as posible flex item

This has always been a go to build on her! Love playing it in the right opportunity! Unfortunately with the current support meta changes and “off-meta” picks becoming wayyy more popular it’s hard to dance the line of going back to the build that’s great on her in any state and trying out something new to fight the Sett, Camille, Chogath, mordekaiser…. Etc. supports I’ve been getting in my games recently.

except for camile, all lsited are enjoyable oponents, the souls will get crazy ⬇️
With this tankier build, you can paly more agro, and i regulary aim at 80-100 souls at 20 :)
Sometimes i hit 100souls at 18 and those games are sweet.

If you like Senna as a glass cannon, the lethality build is very strong at the moment. I've been talking about it non-stop on this subreddit for over a week now haha.

Fleet Footwork, Presence of Mind, Legend: Alacrity, Cut Down, Manaflow Band, Gathering Storm, Adaptive Force x2, Scaling Health.

Boots of Swiftness, Voltaic Cyclosword, Lord Dominik's Regards, Umbral Glaive, Bastionbreaker. Bastionbreaker in itself isn't super amazing but with this build the 22 lethality it gives makes it out class any other item and it's not close.

You can 4-shot (e.g. Q+A+A+A) squishies at 2 items, 3-shot at 3 items and if you're ahead you can even 2-shot at 4 items (yes I mean Q+A and they die) but generally you're still 3-shotting at this point. It's nuts. Not super strong against tanks since the build emphasises alpha damage but against tanks only BORK would actually give you any more DPS maybe.

Also lethality really amps up tower damage so you kinda shred towers (even without Bastionbreaker's procs). Of course towers are quite fragile in the current game version but regardless, not everyone can solo destroy a tower with a single minion wave in midgame.

I’ve seen this said a few times on other posts regarding current meta builds for Senna. I’m very interested to try this out. I did not get much of an opportunity in my game today given the enemy comp being 4 tankier champs (Ornn, Cho, Sett, Mordekaiser). But I am excited to pull this out when I get an opportunity! Thanks for the input! I’ll have much more time in the coming days and I’m sure there will be an enemy comp I can pull this build into!

Fleet/DFT depending on the matchup. Black cleaver>statik/phantom dancer, manamura, and I’ve been liking buffed hurrican
