Senna Teamfight Tactics Set 11 Guide Explained

Teamfight Tactics, the wildly popular auto-battler from Riot Games, is about to enter a new era with the release of Set 11. Among the many new and returning champions, one name stands out: Senna, the Redeemer of the Mist. This marksman unit from League of Legends lore is poised to make a massive impact on the TFT meta, and players would be wise to understand her strengths, synergies, and ideal itemization.

Senna’s Abilities and Traits

At the core of Senna’s TFT kit is her ability to constantly gather souls from fallen enemies. These souls provide her with attack speed and critical strike chance bonuses, making her an incredibly scary damage threat as fights drag on. Her specific abilities are:

• Piercing Darkness (Active) – Senna fires a beam through multiple enemies, dealing physical and ability power damage while applying Grievous Wounds.
• Embrace of the Mist (Passive) – Whenever an enemy dies near Senna, she harvests their soul, gaining attack speed and crit chance.  
• Absolution (Active) – Senna fires a laser within a range of 2 hexes, dealing physical damage to enemies hit and granting attack damage to herself and allies.
• Redeemed Trait – Senna and allies with the new Redeemed trait gain bonus ability power and spell power.

Senna also has the Inkshadow Origin which provides unique item bonuses, and the Sniper class which increases her range and damage against further targets.

Senna’s Best Itemization

To maximize Senna’s carry potential, players should prioritize these offensive items:

• Guinsoo’s Rageblade – Provides critical attack speed and ability power on-hit.
• Infinity Edge – Enables Senna’s abilities to critically strike for massive damage spikes.
• Last Whisper – Shreds enemy armor to boost her physical and ability power output.

Other strong items include the meta options:

• Spear of Shojin – Allows Senna to spam Absolution more frequently.
• Guardbreaker – Percent max health damage shreds tanks.

Just be wary of pure tank stats, as Senna wants to prioritize maximizing her soul-scaling damage.

Senna’s Ideal Compositions

The Best Set 8 comps for Senna are

• Redeemed Soulbound – Stacking Redeemed and Soulbound for stat bonuses and frontline protection.
• Inkshadow Sniper – Leaning into Inkshadow origin and Sniper class for highest DPS output.
• Badger Redeemed – Badger Draven rapidly grants Redeemed allies like Senna attack speed and crit.  

While flexible, Senna should aim for at least two of Redeemed, Soulbound, Inkshadow, or Sniper.

Playstyle and Transition Tips

Early, Senna functions as a generic backline DPS until level 6-7 when players should look to preserve health and loss streak if able to stack souls faster.

Tank and utility augments enable safer soul stacking before slamming offensive items in the late game. Position Senna as the protected backline carry, using her mobility and Absolution range to reposition and harvest souls through skirmishes.

Senna’s Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths:

• Monstrous sustained AoE damage and mobility
• The whole team enabler through Redeemed/Soulbound/Inkshadow  
• High range and ability to reposition frequently
• Flexible offensive itemization paths

Weaknesses: 

• Low early damage until ramped
• Loss streaking risks HP deficits  
• Vulnerable pre-ramp to assassins and CC
• Highly dependent on positioning/dodging abilities

The Bottom Line

Senna is a top-tier hyper carry through her unmatched scaling sustained damage output. While challenging to optimize, Senna obliterates teams unprepared for her relentless barrage empowered by the Mists themselves. Respect the Redeemer, or be consumed by souls and lasers.
