Seraphine Mid performs best with a build featuring Blackfire Torch, Ionian Boots of Lucidity, Archangel's Staff, Liandry's Torment, and Rylai's Crystal Scepter. The most effective rune setup for Seraphine Mid includes Summon Aery, Manaflow Band, Transcendence, and Gathering Storm in the primary tree, paired with Presence of Mind and Legend: Haste in the secondary tree.
Try to look for fights in the jungle or around an objective. Getting your R off on as many champions as possible will help your team win the fight. The heal from your W doesn’t come into effect for a long time. Do not rely on it to save your life. During the laning phase, avoid using your W unless you have to. It has an incredibly long cooldown and you’ll be vulnerable when it’s on cooldown.
If you want to use the most popular Seraphine Mid build, you should take Flash and Teleport as your Summoner Spells. For runes, you should pick Summon Aery as your keystone, followed by Manaflow Band, Transcendence and Gathering Storm in the primary tree, as well as Presence of Mind and Legend: Haste in the secondary tree. For rune shards, you want Ability Haste in offense, Adaptive Force in flex and Health in defense, though it depends on the matchup. Finally, for your items, you should build Blackfire Torch as your first item, followed by Ionian Boots of Lucidity and Archangel's Staff. For your last 3 items, you should build Liandry's Torment, Rylai's Crystal Scepter and finish with Rabadon's Deathcap. For the skill order, you want to stick with Q - E - W.

Depending on the context of your game, your matchup, and enemy champions, you might want to consider building some situational items or taking specific runes. Carefully examine your team, enemy team, game state, and your matchup to plan your Seraphine build accordingly! For example, when it comes to rune shards, you might want to take either Armor or Magic Resist, depending on which champion you are about to lane against.
