Guide to Countering Sejuani as Zilean

Tips for Playing as Zilean against Sejuani

Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.

Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.

You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.

Advice to Win Against Sejuani

Dodging Arctic Assault and Glacial Prison can give you a huge advantage.

Focus on avoiding the second swing of Winter's Wrath which carries the brunt of the damage.

Melee enemies can also stack Frost for Sejuani, be very careful around them.
