From the moment she was released, Senna has been classified as a “perfect” champion in League of Legends, possessing almost everything a character can have, such as long-range poke, crowd control, escape abilities, and scaling power over time…. In short, this is a type of champion that cannot be pushed out of the meta due to her immense versatility.
For this reason, the non-farming playstyle of Senna emerged and dominated for a long time. Riot Games had to nerf her by slightly reducing the soul spawn rate, thereby limiting her damage. However, as mentioned above, when versatility is too high, nerfing damage is not enough; players will create even more powerful playstyles, and Indomitable Power Senna is one of them.
So why Indomitable Power? Many might question this because it is typically a rune point for tank champions. However, we forget that Senna is a very special type of champion; her damage does not depend on items but rather on the number of souls collected. As long as she can hold her lane and poke opponents continuously, she becomes very strong.
Furthermore, Senna’s Q – Piercing Light is a very unique ability as it applies on-hit effects. This means you can activate Indomitable Power with this skill, not necessarily by directly auto-attacking the opponent. Even if you have to auto-attack, with a basic attack range of 600, you can easily activate this rune. In summary, Indomitable Power Senna retains her power from the old version but is now much tougher.
Regarding rune build, Indomitable Power is naturally the key rune, while the second row should feature the Source of Life rune, which is most suitable for Senna due to her decent crowd control abilities and her ability to keep teammates alive during skirmishes. The two runes Bone Plating and Overgrowth are the best choices in the remaining slots, enhancing durability and interacting excellently with Senna’s soul-collecting playstyle.
In the secondary tree, the Presence of Mind rune is extremely powerful and should not be overlooked, while the other choice should be Legend: Tenacity, as you need to move a lot in teamfights and are very wary of crowd control effects.
In terms of items, the most important item for this playstyle is Iceborn Gauntlet, because the slow effect of this item is very suitable for Indomitable Power rune. The more you slow the enemy, the easier it is to keep them within attack range and activate this rune. Moreover, Senna currently mostly plays in the Support or non-farming AD Carry role, which prioritizes versatility; adding slows from Iceborn Gauntlet is never a bad idea.
The second important item for Senna is Black Cleaver, which provides additional health, cooldown reduction, and armor penetration. Usually, when you have these two major items along with Boots and Support items, the game is already over; otherwise, a Mortal Reminder to reduce healing or a Cloak of Agility for extra safety are options to consider.
In conclusion, Indomitable Power Senna is a tougher, more annoying, and effect-heavy version compared to before. You can be assured of the effectiveness of this playstyle when top-tier pro players around the world trust it and achieve highly positive results.
