Playing as Yuumi

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 Soraka

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her star

    Dodge Starcall (Q): if it hits a champion, Soraka heals and speeds up, and can pass that heal on to an ally.

  2. Leave her Equinox fast

    Get out of Equinox (E) fast: you're silenced inside, and rooted if you're still there when the zone disappears.

  3. Focus her, not the healed ally

    If you can reach her, focus Soraka rather than the ally she heals: she has no dash, and each Astral Infusion (W) costs her health.

  4. Finish in a single burst

    Finish your targets in a single burst: Wish (R) heals them wherever they are, and more below 40% health.
