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 Ashe
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Short trades
Take short trades: each auto slows you with Frost Shot (passive), and her autos deal more damage to slowed targets.
- Back off during her Focus
Back off when she activates Ranger's Focus (Q): for a few seconds, her attack speed rises and each auto becomes a flurry of arrows.
- Punish her lack of mobility
If you can engage, go for her when her support drifts away: her kit has no dash, only slows.
- Dodge her long-range arrow
Prioritize dodging Enchanted Crystal Arrow (R) fired from far away: the farther the arrow has traveled, the longer the stun.
