Battle Dove Seraphine

Got Battle Dove Seraphine from a chest last week and honestly wasn't expecting much since I mainly play her with K/DA All Out. After about 35 games though, this skin completely changed how I feel playing her in teamfights.

The Q feels way smoother to land compared to other Seraphine skins, especially when you're trying to poke through minions. Her E has this cleaner animation that makes it easier to time your combos, and I swear the hitbox visibility helps me land more double casts. But the real difference is her ult. In a dragon fight yesterday, the entire enemy team was stacked near pit and I managed to thread my R through their frontline because the projectile is so much clearer than base skin. Their ADC got caught sleeping and we aced them for soul. Phoenix Seraphine might have better effects overall, but Battle Dove's clarity is actually insane for landing those game-winning ults.

The W shield timing feels more responsive too, probably because the animation doesn't have as much visual clutter. I've saved myself from so many Zed ults just by having that split second better visibility on when my shield pops. And the passive notes floating around you are way easier to track for your enhanced autos, which matters when you're trying to CS while harassing.

Is Battle Dove Seraphine worth it if you already own her other skins? For ranked games, absolutely. This isn't pay-to-win exactly, but the visual clarity advantage is real. If you're just playing normals and want something pretty, Phoenix or Graceful are better eye candy. But for climbing and making those clutch plays, Battle Dove might be her best competitive skin.
