Yuumi Full Guide

[kale gazda]

Yuumi is a unique support champion in League of Legends who excels at healing, shielding, and providing utility to her team while remaining relatively safe by attaching to allies. Here's a basic guide to playing her effectively:

1. Passive – Bop 'n' Block​

• Bop 'n' Block makes Yuumi's auto-attacks heal her and the attached ally, and it also provides a shield when attached to an ally. Make sure to use this passive to sustain your ADC or any ally you're attached to. You’ll get healing from basic attacks, but only when you’re not casting abilities on yourself.

2. Q – Prowling Projectile​

• Yuumi's Q is a skillshot that slows and damages enemies. You can control the direction of the shot by moving your mouse while it’s active. This is great for poking in lane, applying pressure, or zoning enemies.
• The longer you hold the Q, the further it travels, and it gains a bigger slow and damage. Use this as much as possible, but be mindful of your mana.

3. W – You and Me!​

• Yuumi’s W allows her to attach to an ally champion and move with them. While attached, you can cast all your abilities but can’t move. It’s the key to Yuumi’s playstyle—stay attached to your ADC or another team member in the front line for protection.
• You can detach with a quick press of W to move and reattach to someone else, making it easier to reposition or escape dangerous situations.

4. E – Zoomies​

• The E ability heals you or your attached ally and grants them bonus movement speed. This is crucial for keeping your team alive during fights. It’s great for trading in lane and provides utility during teamfights. Use it liberally, especially in longer engagements.

5. R – Final Chapter​

• Yuumi's ultimate is a channeling ability that deals damage to all enemies in a large area while also applying a slow. It’s great for disrupting the enemy team, zoning, or helping in teamfights. The channel can be stopped early to instantly apply the slow and damage, so be aware of when the best time to fully channel it is.
• In teamfights, aim to hit as many enemies as possible, and ideally target squishy champions or the enemy backline.

Runes:​

• Primary Tree: Sorcery
  • Summon Aery: For extra poke damage and shield/healing power.
  • Manaflow Band: Yuumi can burn through mana quickly, so this will help sustain her mana pool.
  • Transcendence: Provides extra ability haste as the game progresses.
  • Gathering Storm: For scaling AP, since Yuumi benefits from items that provide ability power.
• Secondary Tree: Inspiration
  • Biscuit Delivery: Gives sustain in lane, allowing you to keep poking and healing.
  • Cosmic Insight: Grants extra cooldown reduction to reduce your abilities' cooldowns.

Items:​

• Starting Items:
  • Spellthief's Edge: For poking and trading in lane.
  • Health Potions and a Stealth Ward: Always good to have sustain and vision.
• Core Items:
  • Ardent Censer: Boosts your team's attack speed and power while healing or shielding.
  • Redemption: Provides a global heal and can help in big fights.
  • Locket of the Iron Solari: Provides shields for you and your team, especially useful in protecting your carries.
• Situational Items:
  • Mikael’s Blessing: To cleanse stuns, snares, and other crowd control from your team.
  • Staff of Flowing Water: Boosts AP and movement speed for you and your allies.
  • Moonstone Renewer: Helps keep your allies healed during longer teamfights.

Tips for Playing Yuumi:​

1. Know when to detach: Yuumi is very mobile while attached to her allies, but you may need to detach to help with vision, repositioning, or evading a dangerous situation.
2. Manage your mana: Yuumi can burn through mana quickly, especially if you spam your abilities. Keep an eye on your mana pool and make sure you have enough to help in critical moments.
3. Positioning is key: Since you're a support and rely on staying attached to your team, keep your positioning in mind. Try not to put yourself in a situation where you're too far from your team or stuck without an escape.
4. Ultimate timing: Use R – Final Chapter at the right moment in fights—usually when enemy champions are grouped together. The channel time is quite long, so make sure the timing is ideal.

Teamfighting with Yuumi:​

• In teamfights, you’ll primarily be providing heals, shields, and utility to your team. Stick to an ally and use your abilities to keep them alive and boost their damage output. Make sure you use your Q and R for poke and zoning.
• Final Chapter can be a game-changer if used correctly—look for opportunities to hit multiple enemies, ideally when they are grouped together.

Yuumi is incredibly strong when played well, but it requires a good understanding of your team’s positioning and timing to make the most out of her abilities. If you have any more questions or need further specifics, let me know!
