Helia Seraphine Build

1. You rush Echoes of Helia.
2. You play aggressively, dealing damage to get Echoes of Helia stacks and spend them as soon as you can.
3. More damage means more Helia procs, which means more healing. Raw damage items outperform heal and shield power support items.

1. This is an off-meta and very fun build that works on ANY champion with mana - even those without healing or shielding abilities! All thanks to Diadem of Songs + Echoes of Helia combo.
2. With Diadem of Songs + Echoes of Helia combo, you can continuously heal your team while dealing damage.
3. Play aggressively, stack Echoes of Helia and heal! More damage = more Helia stacks = more healing.

Core items

1. Start with Tear of the Goddess and try stacking it ASAP. Get Echoes of Helia #1, then Diadem of Songs #2.
2. Core order: Echoes of Helia -> Diadem of Songs -> Liandry's Torment. If you are stacking Tear very slowly, get Liandry's before Diadem.
3. Heal and shield power items and traditional support items are less effective than raw damage - you literally heal more with Helia by dealing damage.

Buffing your team

1. Ardent Censer is worth it if you have auto attackers on your team (ADCs, auto-attack bruisers). It will trigger often enough to be good buy.
2. Bandlepipes is a good item that gives MS and buffs your allies Attack Speed when you slow/immobilize enemies. Good for your auto attackers.
3. Staff of Flowing Water is great if you have AP champions on your team. You'll be proccing it frequently with your support abilities.

Damage items

1. Once you have your core items, look for Ability Haste and for raw damage.

Runes

1. Alternatively you can take Summon Aery rune. On enchanters, Aery's shield directly procs Helia. On non-enchanters, it contributes to damage output to stack Helia faster.

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.
3. If you cannot manage to stay alive - get Kaenic Rookern or Warmog's Armor (caution: needs enough HP!).
4. Remember to counter the enemy team. If they have lots of healing, get Oblivion Orb early.

Surround Sound (W)

1. To trigger heal you need to have shield present on you. You normally do this with empowered Surround Sound (W). However you can also watch for shields from your allies or try coordinating with them to heal everyone on cooldowm

Beat Drop (E)

1. If you want to crank up your utility by 1000%, you can get Rylai's Crystal Scepter.
2. Rylai's Crystal Scepter changes how your Beat Drop (E) works. It normally slows, but with Rylai's it roots instantly! This turns your un-empowered E into an unconditional AoE root. And empowered E into unconditional AoE stun.
3. You can use Beat Drop (E) in combination with Flash to quickly change the direction and length of the ability and surprise enemies.

Encore (R)

1. Encore (R) not only extends when going through enemy champions, it also extends through allies too. Use this to shoot it through your frontline to reach enemy backline.
2. For an easy guaranteed Encore (R), set it up with your empowered Beat Drop (E) root first - or an AoE stun if you have Rylai's Crystal Scepter - then fire Encore (R) while enemies are immobilized.
3. Because R has a cast time and travel speed, landing it on moving enemies can be difficult. Always look to set up CC (or coordinate with your team) beforehand for a reliable combo.
4. Alternatively, remember that Encore (R) also slows, you can follow up with a root from Beat Drop (E).
