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 Vayne
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Don't fight with your back to a wall
Don't stand with your back to a wall against her: Condemn (E) knocks you back, and if you hit terrain, you're stunned.
- Short, repeated trades
Take short, repeated trades: she's fragile, and on the third consecutive hit on you, Silver Bolts (W) adds true damage based on your max health.
- Don't feed her kills during her ult
During Final Hour (R), back off rather than risk your life: each champion she kills after damaging them extends the effect.
