Can someone explain how Sejuani does her E?

Ralanr··3 votes·821 views

As far as I can tell, she causes ice to freeze/explode on people to slow them down.

Obviously that's not the best explanation, but this is an ability that she can activate from a certain range after hitting them at least once. Sejuani, as far as I know, doesn't have powers, she's just incredibly durable and has a terrifying amount of determination.

So this makes me wonder if Sejuani is actually more closely related to Lissandra rather than Serylda (as I previously believed) and some of Lissandra's ability to manipulate ice was passed down genetically (to the point where it is incredibly rare).

My other theory is that Serylda also had ice manipulation powers like Lissandra, but hers was weaker and required the use of the ice club (that Trundle uses) to really manifest. This could explain why Sejuani was able to walk through blizzards without much protection when she was training herself. Iceborn blood is strong within her.

Thoughts?

I would probably just file that under "gameplay mechanics". Like Garen's magic Sky Beam or Miss Fortune being able to make bullets bounce, it's just a thing to make the character interesting to play.

That said, Sejuani is pretty decked out in ancient Freljordian artifacts, which might have some powers.

Is her flail.... True Ice weapon has magical properties, one has to have affinity with such items to be able to "control" this items thou. As explained by Ashe finding her bow and Trolls (aside from Trundle) not being able to use the Frozen Club.

I also woudl like to mention that out of the 3, Sejuani is the one that has the less "relation" with her ancestor. Lissandra is well the same Lissadra, Ashe has been stated to be decent of Avarosa and wields her Bow that "chose" her. Sejuani has none of that in her lore, she doesn't wield Serylda weapon or has some direct ties with her, so far we have assumed is her decedent because "she looks like her". We don't even know if Serylda is dead or alive (we assume she is dead) unlike Avarosa which Lissandra killed her and lissandra that used dark ice to achieve immortality.

You make a good point and I would love to see more of Serylda in the future. I don't think we even know which side she was on in the revolt.

She was on "Avarosa" side. The "war" would be akin to revolting against a king. There are always part that would like the king to keep their status but unless the majority is against it then is really hard to produce this revolt.

I'm just waiting for another Freijlord event, the thing is that the Watchers are still alive under the bridge and the 3 sister know about it. That's the reason why Avarosa bound the soul of the ghost to the bridge, she knew that they woudl eventually return. They are probably on a weakened state thou, trapped down below but definitely alive. My guess is after the revolt Avarosa was busy sorting out the tribes that had joined under her name, Lissandra unhappy with the result probably joined one of those tribes as advisor of some sort. Serylda probably took out by herself and later founded some other tribe, I don't believe that tribe woudl be the winter's claw since there is no connection between them, and even if it was, remember that sejuani gained control over her tribe so you can assume her family was one of the branch families of the tribe.

This thing she does is probably due to her weapon, Flail of the Northern Winds, being made out of True Ice, which is a powerful, never-melting kind of magical ice, and it (sometimes?) gives the ability to manipulate ice.

I thought only her Bola was made of true ice?

I mean it makes sense that her flail is made with true ice (even Olaf's axes are lined with the stuff) but I just never remember reading that.

Same with Trundles club. I bet he can't create ice-pillars and frozen ground by his own means

Indeed, it's a club of True Ice.
