User blog:JBox2D/Serisaya

She's a combo mage like brand but with more focus on CC and a less obvious optimal damage combo. Base stats are the same as syndra where unmentioned. Her ultimate allows her to contribute absurd amounts of aoe damage when used optimally. She has a reasonable amount of self peel with Cold Wind and Flash Freeze, though she wants to be using both abilities offensively.

A lot of Serisaya's versatility comes from the fact that she can combo her abilities a number of different ways for different effects. Here are a number of combos I thought up:

Basic harass combo: Cold Wind --> Ice Lance. Cold Wind is the easiest way of applying frost to allow Ice Lance to deal it's damage. Flash Freeze could be used for this purpose but it's cooldown and mana cost are high, and it's dash reduction is her main way of avoiding ganks.

Single target stun combo: Ice Lance --> Cold Wind. Since Ice Lance applies frost for an increased duration and slow, it allows Cold Wind to stun for much longer than a combo with any other ability. Comboing this with Flash Freeze is more reliable but stuns for less time.

Full single target damage combo with basic abilities: Flash Freeze --> Cold Wind --> Ice Lance. A variation on the harass combo which uses more mana and all of your basic cooldowns but also gets a stun and damage amp. Uses a lot of mana and makes you very gankable, but does a lot of damage.

Full single target combo: Flash Freeze --> Cold Wind --> Ring of Frost --> Ice Lance. Guarantees a double hit with Ring of Frost with the damage increase from Flash Freeze. Followed up with Ice Lance for absurd nuking power. Do not use ice lance before ring of frost as it removes the frost debuff and makes ring of frost only hit once.

AOE damage and stun combo: Ice Lance --> Flash Freeze --> Cold Wind --> Ring of Frost. Ice Lance followed by Flash Freeze puts frost on an entire team. Follow up with cold wind for the stun which will basically guarantee that Ring of Frost hits everyone at least twice. Your single target damage is lower because you used Ice Lance to apply the initial frost.

AOE damage combo plus nuke: Cold Wind --> Flash Freeze --> Ring of Frost --> Ice Lance. Doesn't give the AOE stun of the above combo but allows you to finish off a single target with the high damage nuke from Ice Lance.

Teamfight disengage combo: Ring of Frost --> Cold Wind. Very, very reliably applies frost to the enemy team and then stuns them. Significantly lowers damage output but with an extremely reliable aoe stun.
