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 Zyra

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her roots

    Get out of the line of Grasping Roots (E): the roots pass through minions and root every enemy hit, then her plants hit the trapped target.

  2. Step on her seeds

    Step on her seeds to destroy them before she grows them: Rampant Growth (W) seeds reveal you for a moment, but leave her no plant.

  3. Kill her plants

    Take down the plants born from Garden of Thorns (passive), or back off until they die: they take fixed damage, like a ward, and don't live long.

  4. Get out of her thorns

    Get out of the Stranglethorns (R) zone as soon as it appears: the vines knock you into the air 2 seconds later, and her plants are empowered inside.

  5. Engage when her plants are far

    If you can engage, go for Zyra when her plants are far from her: the Thorn Spitter from Deadly Spines (Q) only fires at 575 range.
