The Winter’s Claw ride. It’s time for one of my first favorite champions and the namesake this account is based on (Some friends and I back in the day used to call Sejuani the Baconator). Sejuani

• All champions are chosen at random via Ultimate Bravery
• All champions in this series will be built to a level 20 fantasy but that doesn’t mean you have to be level 20 in order to enjoy most of the core mechanics of the champion
  • Sejuani is a very effective tank who picks up her mount by lv 5, most of her CC by lv 8 and continues to build her bond with Bristle as they cleave their warpath together.

  • Lore
    • Sejuani is the brutal, unforgiving Iceborn warmother of the Winter's Claw, one of the most feared tribes of the Freljord. Her people's survival is a constant, desperate battle against the elements, forcing them to raid Noxians, Demacians, and Avarosans alike to survive the harsh winters. Sejuani herself spearheads the most dangerous of these attacks from the saddle of her drüvask boar Bristle, using her True Ice flail to freeze and shatter her enemies.

  • Big Steed
    • Your balance between your flavor of Cavalier and Paladin really depends on how big of a steed you want and how much of the Cavalier traits you want access too. Personally I want to play more with mounted combat, so I’m going to be focusing on that, but if you invest 13 levels into Paladin, you can get greater steed. It’s a steep investment though so I think the warhorse afforded by find steed is enough unless you’re planning for a really long game and want the Bristle fantasy.

  • Ferocious Charger
• Pros
  • Tanky. You’ve got an average of about 244 health, Heavy Armor Master and 21 AC making you pretty hard to take down
  • CC. Your charge doesnt come till late which kinda sucks, but Ensnaring Strike, Hold the Line, Unwavering Mark, Warding Maneuver, and your Nature’s Wrath Channel Divinity will make sure you are a major nuisance to anyone that dares to step to your warband
  • Mobile thanks to your boar (warhorse) and very effective against medium-small enemies with your advantage
  • Indomitable and Resilient make sure you aren’t likely to be feared or charmed
• Cons
  • AoE’s can barbeque both you and your boar and that’s no fun
  • Low Dex
  • Low Spell Save DC
  • Limited Spellslots and Channel Divinity
  • Doesn’t access a lot of ice flavor in this build
