How it works

  1. This is a variation of the Support build, designed to shred enemy armor using Black Cleaver.
  2. You support your team by providing healing, shielding, and applying armor reduction stacks to enemies.
  3. You rush Black Cleaver first into Echoes of Helia and Moonstone Renewer.
  4. Black Cleaver provides armor shred for your team, while your runes ensure you stay tanky enough to apply it.

Champion

  1. Another take on Senna support - with lots of healing, tankiness and Armor shred.

Playstyle

  1. 🛡️

    Shred enemy armor for your team.

  2. ⚔️

    Play aggressive to stack Black Cleaver and Grasp of the Undying.

  3. 💚

    Proc Echoes of Helia by healing and shielding allies.

How to play

Black Cleaver Support Senna

Stacking

  1. Even when playing off-meta builds like Black Cleaver Support Senna, it's extremely important to collect Absolution (Passive) stacks to gain more damage and bonus attack range. Keep stacking!
  1. You need to adapt in the game to your team and to the enemy team.

Starter items

  1. Start with Phage and a Glowing Mote. Rush Black Cleaver as your first item, then build Echoes of Helia.
  2. Stay active in combat to stack Black Cleaver and proc Grasp of the Undying.

Adaptation

  1. Your team needs to engage or position? Get items like Shurelya's Battlesong or Trailblazer.
  2. Your team getting poked to death? Consider getting Redemption AND/OR Locket of the Iron Solari next.
  3. If you are just getting poked and cannot manage to stay alive - get Kaenic Rookern or Warmog's Armor (caution: needs enough HP!)
  4. You have tanks, bruisers and your team lack damage? As a last resort, you can buy few items to even help with that!

Countering

  1. Remember to counter an enemy team. For example, if they have lots of healing, get Executioner's Calling early.

Buffing your team

  1. If your team has a lot of AP scaling champs, you can get Staff of the Flowing Water.

Runes

  1. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs. It works off your health and provides extra tankiness.

Buffing your team

  1. If your team has a lot of auto attackers AND/OR melee champs, get Ardent Censer.
  2. If your team has a lot of auto attacks, you can also get Bandlepipes to increase their attack speed.

Tips and Tricks
