The reset machine. Selena's real cooldown engine is her form-switch (each form's ult resets the OTHER form's CDs). CDR 40% (Clock 10 + LT 10 + Starlium 10 + Mage 5 + Inspire 5 - Arcane gives none): Trap 4.8s, Arrow 7.2s, Soul Eater 3.6s - and the switch doubles the pressure on top. Starlium Scythe: 75 MP plus 10% CDR plus Crisis (post-cast basic: 100 + 100% MP true plus 40% slow, 5s CD) - built for the dash-basic reset chain. Clock of Destiny: 400 HP plus 45 MP plus def-stacks plus sub-50% recovery cover her 40-late fragility. Genius Wand kept: the shred makes every reset chain hit harder. Temporal Reign: after the form-switch ult, skills recover 1.5x for 4s - switch, double-chain, switch back. Bargain Hunter: the 3000g-plus double-item spike lands earlier. 6th slot Glowing Wand: Scorch plus Lifebane on the ambush ticks - the elf leaves her %-line.

Counter Builds
Vs Selena: her chain needs the TRAP - devils attach with a 50% slow before exploding: walk out of the marked circle before the boom. Her Arrow is a straight-line skillshot that stops at the first unit - sidestep at mid-range to break the 2.5s stun, and stand behind the wave. Marks cap at 2 and only the detonation resets her dash: deny the second mark and she has no follow-up. She is 85/70/40 - pure early pick: survive the first 10 minutes and she fades. Masha-type CC-clear bruisers are her wall; immobile squishies are her food.
