Playing as Yuumi
Tips to maximize your impact
- Steer your Prowling Projectile
While attached to an ally, steer Prowling Projectile (Q) with your mouse before it accelerates: once accelerated, it deals more damage and slows harder.
- Hit a champion to heal
Hit a champion regularly, even with just a Prowling Projectile (Q): Feline Friendship (passive) then heals you, and then the next ally you attach to.
- Make an ally your Best Friend
Stay attached to the same ally most of the time: Feline Friendship (passive) strengthens your bond with them, and your Best Friend empowers your spells while you're on them.
- Stay on your carry
Attach to your carry with You and Me! (W): only towers can target you then, and Zoomies (E) gives them a shield, attack speed and mana.
- Steer your ult onto their group
Cast Final Chapter (R) while attached to steer its waves: each wave that hits slows enemies more and heals your allies.
Playing against Amumu
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Bandage Toss (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, and it's his only spell to reach you.
- Step up after both bandages
Step up when both charges of Bandage Toss (Q) are gone: he can't reach you again until a charge comes back.
- Spread out from your allies
When he has Curse of the Sad Mummy (R), spread out from your allies in teamfights: the spell stuns every enemy around him.
- Ward the way into your lane
Ward the path between his jungle and your lane: Bandage Toss (Q) brings him onto you from range, and he has two charges to catch you.
