Selena can switch freely between her two forms.
Elven Form: Selena applies Abyssal Mark when her skills deal damage. Marks last 8s and can stack up to 2 times.
Abyssal Form: Selena's Basic Attacks become melee and deal (+25% Total Magic Power) additional Magic Damage . Her skills deal 240-450 (+40% Total Magic Power) additional Magic Damage to enemies with Abyssal Mark and consume their mark stacks by 1. This damage is increased to 250% against Creeps and Minions.
Gameplay guide
Selena is a mid-lane assassin-mage who sets up kills in Elven Form and cashes in Abyssal Marks in Abyssal Form. Abyssal Trap supplies vision, slows, and a mark; Abyssal Arrow supplies the long stun; her melee skills consume marks for extra damage and can reset Garotte. Her execution depends on landing the setup and knowing when a hit is safe to follow.
Use the level-two power spike to clear and pressure a river, jungle entrance, or side lane, but move with information rather than blindly invading. Keep traps in meaningful paths instead of holding every charge. Throw arrows from changing angles and predict where the opponent must move; do not repeatedly reveal the same firing position.
Maintain three useful trap locations around Turtle, buffs, and common rotations. Fish for a long stun from fog, then check the target and minimap before changing form. A marked squishy can be finished quickly, but a tank standing beside teammates is usually vision gained, not permission to dive.
Prioritize trap vision and back-line arrow pressure. Stay in Elven Form until a genuinely safe carry stun creates an opening, because diving a grouped team without a confirmed dash reset is extremely risky. The threat of an unseen arrow can control an entrance even when you never cast it.
Change firing angles after every arrow so enemies cannot predict the next shot from the same revealed position.
Place Abyssal Traps on river entrances and common jungle turns, then use their vision to fire arrows from angles enemies are not facing.
A landed arrow does not require a melee dive; check trap marks, nearby enemies, and the return path before changing forms.
The trap and arrow apply two marks. Transform, prepare Soul Eater, consume the first mark with Garotte, consume the second with the enhanced Basic Attack, then use the refreshed Garotte to leave or continue.
Place the trap onto the arrow's projected path before it arrives so both effects apply a mark. Transform, prepare Soul Eater, consume one mark with Garotte and the other with the enhanced Basic Attack, then use the refreshed Garotte to exit.
