Senna is one of the most popular support picks, boasting over 20% playrate, as well as a similar ban-rate percentage. These numbers demonstrate the sheer power of this pick. To make it even greater, today we are gonna focus on the best build for Senna. The build in question has over 65% win rate which is based on a sample of 30% of total games!
Core Items
Echoes of Helia
Echoes of Helia is the item that synergizes the most with Senna. When damaging enemies, you will be granted soul shards, these can later be consumed to heal an ally or damage an enemy. It has great versatility for poking, bursting enemies, and protecting your carry.
Moonstone Renewer
Moonstone Renewer is another must-have for Senna. It provides amazing amounts of stats, as well as a passive that amplifies healing by a really large margin.
Dawncore
I must admit these support items can be a little uninspiring, as they all share a lot of common properties. However, Dawncore has a little twist to it. It increases healing by 2% and it also increases the AP by 10 per 100% base regen. Since we are building this item third, you can expect this passive to give you 30 AP, which is quite significant.
Redemption
The fan-favorite support happens to work pretty great on Senna. This item has come in clutch to save me in many team fights. It can really be a game-changer due to the amount of AoE healing it can do, however, it does require a little skill to be landed properly.
Ardent Censer
Ardent Censer is a really strong last pick in the legendary category of items. It provides a good value for the amount of gold spent when it comes to stats, and it also boasts the infamous passive. The passive grants 25% attack speed and a temporary 20 AP, to both Senna and a teammate.
Boots
The boots you will generally want to take are the Boots of Swiftness. They are the most cost-efficient boots on Senna, and they are especially good for roaming. A good second option is the Ionian Boots of Lucidity. These are great for reducing your abilities CD, and allowing you to put more pressure on the enemies.
Senna Runes
- Summon Aery – Essential for poking
- Manaflow Band – Great for mana sustain in lane
- Transcendence – Scaling CD reduction
- Scorch – Good for poking
- Font of Life – Restores HP after impairing an enemy, solid.
- Revitalize – Increases healing and shielding by 5-10%, essential.
Senna Build Tips
This Senna build is centered around enhancing your heals and AP. To make the most use of it you will want to poke as much as you can while in the laning phase. The best time to poke is when the enemies are going for the last hit on their minions.
As the game progresses, you will find that the damage you deal is rising exponentially, however, you will still be really squishy. This suggests that you will want to play team fights at a safe distance, consistently damaging enemy frontline, as well as carries when they are in range!
Final Thoughts
Range, damage, and healing all come together to make one of the current strongest supports. To make this pick shine even more, however, it does help to have a great build too. My go-to is a mix of HP enhancement as well as AP stacking. Here is the summary Echoes of Helia, Moonstone Renewer, Dawn Core, Redemption, Ardent Censer, Boots.
