Playing as Yunara

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Lucian

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Punish his dash

    Punish him after an aggressive dash: Relentless Pursuit (E) has a 16 to 14 second cooldown, only reduced when his double shots hit.

  2. Step back after each burst

    Back off after each of his spells: Lightslinger (passive) doubles the next auto, so his damage comes in short bursts.

  3. Poke him from outside his range

    If your attack range beats his 500 units, poke him from outside it: he then has to use Relentless Pursuit (E) to get back on you.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive the laning phase, play for time: Lucian is strongest early and loses impact once everyone has their items.
