"That's how potatoes grow?"

Welcome everyone! Sissela is a high skill ceiling character, so you will need some practice to master her, but once you do it, you will see how fun she can be!
She is basically a control mage. You want to be aggressive most of the time, poking enemies down, and go all in when the right moment comes.
She excels at peeling with her combo of Q + E, and her W can get you out of trouble when needed.
Her R is a really nice execute but you need to be careful when to cast it since you need to channel it for 1 second and it also damages you.

PROS:
- Great poking and peeling.
- Deals a lot of damage early and late game.
- Excel taking long fights thanks to her passive.
- Cute af

CONS:
- If not build properly can be really squishy.
- Hard to master her kit.

Passive - Agony
Gain more HP Regen and Skill Amp the lower you health is. When Wilson returns to you, your next auto attack deals bonus damage and applies a slow for 2 seconds.

Bonus Skill Amp: 2/4/6 > 10/20/30
HP Regen/sec: 2/4/6 > 26/36/46
Bonus auto damage: 18 +1.2 AP + (Sissela's current level * 10)
Slow: 10/20/30%

You WANT to level up this skill whenever its available. The damage from this is massive, so don´t forget to pick up Wilson to proc the autoattack, it will make a big difference. Sissela loves long fights thanks to this skill. Poke, create distance, let your passive regen your HP.

---------------------------------------------------------


Q - Go Get 'Em Wilson!
Sissela launches Wilson in a direction, dealing damage during both the travel and upon landing for an AOE pop.

Damage: 40(+0.3 AP) + 60(+0.5 AP) upon arrival
Range: 8m, with a 2m 'Pop'
Cost: 30/35/40/45/50 HP
CD: 6.5/5.75/5/4.25/3.5 Seconds

Your bread and butter. Q should be leveled up first (when passive and R are not available). Most of your damage will come from your Q. It cost HP and not stamina, so you can always use it.

---------------------------------------------------------


W - Girl in a Bubble
Sissela shields herself with a bubble, gaining 2 seconds of Invulnerability. After 2 seconds, the bubble pops, dealing damage and pushing enemies away from you. The OH SH*T button of Sissela's kit.

Damage: 30/90/150/210/270(+0.7 AP)
'Pop' Range: 2m
Cost: 60/80/100/120/140 HP
CD: 16/14.5/13/11.5/10 Seconds

This skill is just amazing. Yuki's R? Hyunwoo's R? Sissela doesn't care... As it says, it makes you INVULNERABLE!. The CD of this is kind of long, and you will be leveling W lastly, so make sure to use it wisely. A very common mistake is to panic and press W when getting engaged. Learning when to use your W is a main difference between a good Siss and a bad one. Also, the damage of this when leveled up, is huge and usually very underestimated.

---------------------------------------------------------


E - Play with Me!
Wilson throws out a tether. If the tether hits an enemy, it pulls them to Wilson's location, dealing damage and stunning them. If the tether hits an ally, they're pulled to Wilson and granted a shield. If Wilson is with Sissela, allies/enemies are pulled to her.

Damage 40/80/120/160/200(+0.6 AP)
Shield Value: 60/110/160/210/260 (+0.5 AP)
Tether Range: 4.5m
Cost: 60/70/80/90/100 SP
CD: 14/13/12/11/10 Seconds

This is what makes Sissela such an annoying and frustrating character to fight against. Use this to keep distance with the opponent. You can change the combo and throw E first, and then Q on top of you to get a nice burst. This will stun the enemy, and you can land Q + passive autoattack. Also, don´t forget to use your E on yourself to get out of danger. Sometimes it's hard to pull the enemy when they are already on top of you, so use it on yourself! You will get a nice shield and you can even jump walls!!

---------------------------------------------------------


R - Free at Last
Channel for 1 second. After 3 seconds, damage all players, including Sissela herself. Damage increases in proportion to Sissela's missing health. Sissela cannot reduce her HP below 1 hp with this ability. Your passive (Agony) deals 100% more damage for 5 seconds.

Damage: 100/200/300(+1.0 AP) (100% in 10m radius, 75% same area, 25% other areas) + 2 additional damage for every 1% of her missing HP
Cost: 120/150/180 SP
CD: 150/135/120 Seconds

Since is channeled make sure to wait till the enemy used his CCs before popping this. The self damage won't kill you, but can leave you at 1HP (and a bleed would kill you, for example), so try to coordinate use your W at the right moment so you won't get hit.

---------------------------------------------------------

D - Caltrops

You throw a circle of caltrops on the ground, enemies walking on them are slowed and take damage for each caltrop they step on. After the initial damage, other caltrops deal 30% damage.

Initial Damage: 110/180 + 0.3AP
Slow: 30/40%
Duration: 6s
Cast time: 0.3s
Cooldown: 35s

Great source of damage, and decent CC. USE YOUR CALTROPS, they do a lot of damage.


SKILL ORDER:

>>> >>>

(Passive and R when available)

You want to level your R and your passive whenever available. Then, max your Q first, followed by your E and lastly your W.

NOTE: you could also max E first then Q if playing a crit build, but even then i would rather lvl up Q first.


COMBOS

Most of the time you want to land your Q right on top of the enemy, and E them for the stun. You want to be chase or be chased, so you can poke the enemy. You don't want to start the fight going all in, except you are lot stronger than them. Here are some combos you can do with her:

Q + D + E
You want to hit them with your Q and throw your caltrops asap. With the E, you throw them back to the caltrops for more damage.


E + Q + AutoAttack + D
You pull the enemy towards you and hit them with the Q during the stun. This will automatically proc your passive, so your autoattack will hit them like a truck. Use your caltrops to create distance with the enemy.


Q + E + R + D + W
Just press al the f*** buttons. Just kidding, but Sissela at low health is scary af because of her passive. You recover hp waaay too fast, and your damage will be increased. In fights where you are low, if you manage to stun them and throw the entire combo, usually will end the fight in your favor. The tricky part here is using your W. You want to negate the self damage of your R, hit the enemy when the bubble pops (it does a lot of damage) and knock them back to the caltrops.

Sissela is a very flex character that you can build in different ways: tankier with high hp and defence, oriented for the early or for the late, glass cannon, CDR, among others. Here I will show you 3 different guides that are very used in the meta and gave me very good results. Also I leave you a 4th one for those who want to troll a little bit.

Core Sissela Spell Amp:



Most used build for Sissela. It gives you everything you need, lots of spell amp, HP, some defense and you can craft weapon, chest and helmet in your second zone, which is great to start harassing your enemies early. It gives you 58% spell amp which means tons of damage in the late game, and you can upgrade your chest to a Kabana if you find a meteorite, so keep an eye on those wolves and bears. You will still need to find slippers after Dock, going to avenue, school or hospital.


EOD Sissela



This build is a little bit slower than the first one, but you still get your weapon in your 2nd zone, and you are almost full build in the 4th one. It's more oriented to movement speed and CDR, which is great for Sissela because it means you can kite much better. EOD sincronices great with Sissela, you want that regen to help your passive, defense, and CDR is great for spamming your abilities.


Early Sissela



With this build you aim to be a bully during early and pick as many fights and kills as you can. You get your azure dagger and chest piece in the second zone, and you can start a killing frenzy immediately after that. You should fight a lot to gain that mastery, since the build doesn't scale very well during late game.


------------------------------------------

Crit Sissela Troll build



So, this is definitely not a meta build and it's only purpose is to have some fun. Basically, an auto attack crit build, with attack speed, crit chance and movement speed. Keep kiting as long as you can, auto attacking and landing those crits, while peeling with your Q and E.

So, here are some tips that you will find useful when playing with Siss.

- Be agressive. You want to be harassing your opponents during the entire match. Sissela is great engaging and disengaging so you want to start as many fights as you can.

- Use your E to jump walls! It has a really long range, can get you out of trouble many times.

- Don't panic when low HP. The less hp you have, the more dangerous you are, also the regen from your passive is massive, so Sissela can turn around the fight in the last minute.

- DON'T FORGET TO EAT. So, this is for every character, but please, don't forget to eat while fighting!

Hope you guys enjoyed the guide and don't forget to comment with other builds and tips for our lovely Girl in the Bubble!
