Playing as Yunara
Tips to maximize your impact
- Slow with Arc of Judgment
Hit with Arc of Judgment (W) before a trade: the prayer bead slows your target, then damages them every second, and it reaches 1150, well beyond your autos.
- Judge your power by your crit items
Measure your power by your crit items: with Vow of the First Lands (passive), each of your critical strikes deals bonus magic damage.
- Use Cultivation of Spirit when charged
Once your autos have charged Cultivation of Spirit (Q), activate it for a trade or a teamfight: you gain attack speed, and your autos spread to nearby enemies.
- Transcend for the teamfight
Cast Transcend One's Self (R) as the teamfight starts: your basic spells are upgraded, Arc of Ruin (W) fires a laser, and Untouchable Shadow (E) gives you a dash.
Playing against Draven
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Play hard when he drops an axe
Play hard when he drops a Spinning Axe (Q): without it, he loses his bonus damage and the Blood Rush (W) reset.
- Aim where his axe lands
If you have skillshots, aim where his Spinning Axe (Q) falls: he has to go there to catch it.
- Engage after his Stand Aside
If you can engage, wait until Stand Aside (E) is used: it's his only spell to push you back, on a 16 to 12 second cooldown.
- Don't give him kills
Don't hand him kills: with League of Draven (passive), each champion he kills gives him bonus gold based on his stored Adoration.
- Beware his axes at low health
At low health, beware of Whirling Death (R), which crosses the map: it executes a champion below a threshold that grows with his Adoration.
