[Champion Concept] Faerlina, the High Seraph
Name: Faerlina, the High Seraph Type: Mage, Harass, Control
=- Biography -=
WORK IN PROGRESS DUE TO RECENT KAYLE/MORGANA DEVELOPEMENTS (Old Lore Below)
Power is not always born in the crucible of creation, sometimes people are ascended through a tragic happenstance. The youngest of Ionian Elders, benevolence and equality were to be the distinctions of Faerlina’s leadership and wisdom would she have been left to shape the world. Fate however, had a different plan for the young elder as an ancient race caught in an endless conflict would need her guidance far more than the citizens of Ionia.
On a nightly stroll through the Gardens of Tranquility Faerlina found herself face to face with a Noxian assassin. Terrified yet unyielding Faerlina stood her ground, a faint glow enveloping her like a mist. As the steel blade reflected in her eyes and the last breath of life left her lips, this gentle glow began to brighten. The Angels are an immortal and graceful race, yet should one perish their light is gifted to one worthy of such a blessing. With her lifeless body lying cold on the ground she saw not her own life, but the conflict of an ancient world caught in battle with herself at its crossroads. Faerlina embraced the warmth of the light and ascended to High Heaven.
History has a strange way of repeating itself; and as Faerlina awoke to her new world she was no ordinary Angel, but a Seraph of the highest order, a leader of the angelic society. Under Kayle’s mentorship she quickly became a force to be reckoned with and her Ionian ideals would carve a new path in the endless war. Light can heal, but it can also burn, and in a world where conflict between Light and Dark still rages on; Faerlina, the High Seraph shines the brightest light of all, passing the final judgement on those who dare to upset the balance of justice.
“Her judgement is final. Her light, absolute.” - Kayle on Faerlina, the High Seraph

=- Tips -= The High Seraph passes the final judgement, and Faerlina’s spells reflect it. As a control mage Faerlina excels at splitting enemy teams apart or walling off escape routes. In dueling situations, Veil of Faith makes Faerlina deceptively protected while providing bonus damage to her spells. However, with all that power comes a lack of mobility. Played correctly Faerlina can build up stacks from afar to rain judgement down on her enemies using Virtuous Radiance with little fear of retaliation.
Playing as Faerlina
- Seraphic Bolt is a low cool-down low cost ability that makes it easier to land with each stack of consecration applied. Use it to zone enemies into “Ethereal Rift” for guaranteed damage and consecration stacks.
- Virtuous Radiance shines when large stacks of consecration have been built up, however these stacks do not last long. Prioritize dealing damage over stack potential in light of losing already ramped up damage
- Veil of Faith gives Faerlina both bonus protection and damage, hitting multiple enemies in prolonged fights provides the most out of these bonuses.
Playing Against Faerlina
- Faerlina has powerful single target damage, but can easily zone an area. Attack from multiple locations to spread out her abilities and leave her vulnerable to counter attack.
- Getting an early pair of boots will provide you with much needed movement speed to dodge Faerlina’s initial barrage of Seraphic Bolts.
- While lacking mobility, Veil of Faith makes Faerlina deceptively powerful in skirmishes. Be wary of the bonus protections when deciding to all-in her.
