Quick Analysis
SUMMONER SPELLS:
In the mid lane, Caps plays Seraphine with Teleport and Flash. This is a very useful combination for this champion since it enables Caps to be present everywhere and win skirmishes around the map.
RUNES:
Contrary to many players, Caps’ go-to keystone for Seraphine mid in season 11 is Arcane Comet. Seraphine’s abilities have an extremely long range, but they lack initial damage. But with the help of Arcane Comet, Caps is pretty much secured in the laning phase.
The rest of the runes provide Caps with necessary mana and health regeneration, as well as some ability haste through Transcendence. Also, Magical Footwear is an awesome way to save up gold for the first item upgrade.
ITEMS:
Luden’s Tempest is the mythic item Caps runs on Seraphine in the mid lane. It has a very strong burst and grants both ability haste and mana, two key stats for any mage, including Seraphine.
Another important element is that Caps always tries to sneak in the Mejai’s Soulstealer whenever he plays Seraphine. This item can have a tremendous impact if stacked early, so make sure to not die in vain.
Lich Bane is another must-have item for Caps on Seraphine, as well as Sorcerer’s Shoes. Rylai’s Crystal Scepter, Rabadon’s Deathcap, and Banshee’s Veil can also be bought, and the order will depend on the current situation.
