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 Lulu
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge her two bolts
Dodge Glitterlance (Q): two bolts fly out, one from Lulu and one from Pix, and each one damages and heavily slows.
- Engage twice
Engage in two steps: make her use Whimsy (W), then re-engage during its 18-second cooldown.
- Focus her if you can reach her
If you can reach her, focus her in teamfights: Whimsy (W), Help, Pix! (E) and Wild Growth (R) are mostly there to protect her allies.
- Back off from her enlarged ally
When Wild Growth (R) enlarges one of her allies near you, back off: anyone close to them is knocked into the air, then the aura slows them.
