How to Beat Pyke as Seraphine (Support)

While statistically Seraphine is slightly stronger than Pyke as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Seraphine deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Pyke deals mainly physical damage (78.49%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Pyke, ranking 4th (versus 7th for Seraphine) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.2 versus 2.7) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Seraphine Support versus Pyke Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Seraphine player to maintain constant pressure on Pyke, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Playing Against Pyke

  • Pyke regenerates a significant amount of damage he has taken from enemy champions, but only when you can't see him!
  • When Pyke is hidden nearby in his Ghostwater Dive, sharks will circle underneath your feet.
  • Try not to stand near low health allies. If Pyke executes them using Death From Below, you might be next on the list.
