SEASON 42 PROFILE
Imperial KnightessSilvanna leaps with Imperial Justice and traps one enemy inside its circle, where Spiral Strangling deals damage and creates a shield. The catch is powerful, but it also tells everyone exactly where she will stand for the next few seconds.

HOW TO PLAY
Build Knightess' Resolve stacks before committing to a long trade. Cometic Lance can test space and move Silvanna; keep its follow-up when the enemy jungler is missing.
At objectives, cast Imperial Justice on an enemy damage dealer only when the team can follow. Trapping a tank away from everyone rarely justifies the ultimate.
Late in the game, wait for Barats, Edith or Yin to show their control. Spiral Strangling needs time to complete its spins, and any interruption removes a large part of the damage.

Silvanna thrusts her lance in the target direction and spins it 6 times while gaining a 350-point shield plus 150% of her Total Magic Power. Each spin deals 165 Magic Damage plus 45% of her Total Magic Power and slightly pulls enemies toward the centre. She adds one spin for every 50% extra Attack Speed. The skill deals 50% damage to Minions, counts as a Basic Attack, and cannot critically strike.
Silvanna leaps to the target location and creates a Circle of Light upon landing, dealing 350 Magic Damage to enemies in the area, slowing them by 40% for 1.5 seconds, and restraining the closest enemy hero to the area for 3.5 seconds.

QUICK ANSWERS
Silvanna is currently played mainly in EXP Lane. The guide separates the recommended builds by lane or job, so choose that tab before copying the six items.
Start with «EXP Pickoff Bruiser». The other options, «EXP Sustain Duelist» and «Jungle Tempo Cage», are there for a different lane or match-up; they are not cosmetic variations.
Karina, Barats and Wanwan are the first counters to consider. Barats can interrupt Silvanna, while Karina avoids part of the damage and waits out Spiral Strangling.
