GOODBYE YUUMI!

About me

Hello! I'm Doody_tco!
I'm the creator of the winner guide Miss Fortune - Road to Mastery 7. I am a main AD Carry and I use the the essence of carrying games in my playstyle as a . is my main . I have almost 180k experience points on and I have supported and played against almost all champions this includes supporting trolling ADC picks such as , , and even and I have the confidence to write this guide and share my experience to help everyone increase their knowledge about and help with hard carrying the game to victory! :)

Why play Yuumi?

is an interesting hard carry that fun to play. Although she depends on a carry, she gets stronger in late game and help a hyper-carry champion to carry the game to victory. cannot be targeted thanks to her ability, thus prohibiting her abilities to be interrupted by enemy's' skill shots. sustains her carry through healing and shielding as well as helping them escaping or reaching the enemy. is an easy to play champion. Through reading this guide, you will understand why get banned.

✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿

Please read the following notes before you proceed to the guide:

Note 1: Please do not misjudge my personal thoughts and experience for picking Flash for Yuumi. Thinking that Yuumi is a champion attached to an ally most of the game and she needs to support them with only with Ignite and Exhaust does not make Flash less valuable spell nor make it a troll summoner spell. Moreover, Flash for Yuumi does not need to be a new OP Korean meta so you can have an instant change of heart in your beliefs. Flash for Yuumi grants two key winning elements; the first is surprising the enemy as they would not expect the Flash; and the second is tilting the enemy as they do not always see Flash for Yuumi which I saw in most of my games and lead the enemy team to not preform well which is what your team needs to win.

If you want, skip to the section where the guide explains why Flash is an essential spell to pick for Yuumi

Note 2: If you checked the section where I argued that Flash WORKS for Yuumi and you still believe that it is not a wise choice for Yuumi even after arguing about it with me in discussion section, then PLEASE DO NOT MAKE IT AN EXCUSE TO DOWNVOTE THIS GUIDE. IT IS NOT A TROLL GUIDE AND I PUT SO MUCH EFFORT BUILDING IT and making it useful in planning, itemizations, macro and especially studying all champions in the game and provided a thorough information. So, again, if you do not like this little detail in this detailed guide that literally exceeded PhD. in length, then please do not make it a reason to downvote this guide. ✿

Note 3: this guide talks in-depth about how to play Yuumi in most scenarios and against ALL CHAMPIONS. I will create a shorter version of this guide that is quick to finish and easy to digest for those who are new to Yuumi and want a "take-away" build, runes and tips. A link will be provided here soon.

P R O S

✧ Easy to play
✧ Cannot be targeted
✧ Hard carry

's main task is healing her carry with her and prevent them from dying. also increase the attack speed and movement speed which increases the chance of her carry to secure a kill or escape the enemy while kiting (if the carry is a ). also scales greatly in late game which make her useful with whichever champion she attaches to.

C O N S

✧ Craves mana
✧ Easy to die
✧ Late game support

costs a lot of mana. This means, should either wait for her mana to fill up or detach from her carry to fill mana with her passive which make her prone to crowd control (CC) that will prevent to attach to her carry and be easily killed. Moreover, is weak early game because her mana regeneration level is low and the cooldown of her abilities are long.

is everyone's support. That is why the match-ups section will cover how to play with/against ALL CHAMPIONS. You read that right, all champions you can play on League of Legends. During the game, you should focus on who is the threat in the enemy team, and who has the potential to carry the game and build items based on these two premises which is thoroughly covered in Match-ups section.
Generally as a and specifically as , keep in mind two key points; the first is, one of your teammates may not be doing good in lanning phase but they can have the potential to carry the game, be ready to support them. The second is, should dedicate 97% of her spells for saving and boosting her teammates, the rest 3% should be for .

Remember: your AD Carry may complain about having a Yuumi as a support instead of having a Leona or Nautilus as a support, but whoever wins in laning phase and carry the game, will almost beg Yuumi to attaches to them to give them extra boost..

Sorcery

The essential rune for , it boosts shielding her carry when she heals them with , and it is also pokes the enemy when attacks them. When 's carry is inflicted by grievous wounds or ignited, healing them won't be sufficient, but the shield from can save them.

A second option to pick for . This rune is a good option in lane phase when you know that 's will have a rough time farming. For instance, with with her short range attacks against and who have wider range of auto attacks. A great poke when using .

Since will be attached to her ally 95% of the game, this rune will definitely be useless, and even if detached and managed to hit the enemy with 3 attacks, the bonus movement speed she'll get will not be useful for her nor for her carry. One of the least recommended runes for .

✦✦

Grants a magic shield that absorbs magical damage. In most cases, the threat in bot lane is usually ad, and in team fights, can hardly escape from 3 people. Moreover, this shield will not benefit her carry. Therefore, picking another rune is recommended for .

✦✦

Since loses mana with , she can gain mana through poking the enemy with or from auto attacks with . This is the best option to pick for compared to and .

✦✦

will not benefit from using ; she will most likely use her abilities attached to her carry, and the ghosting effect will not affect her carry. This option is the less favorable and should not be used by (unless it is a top lane and this guide is not for that.

✦✦

The first option to think about when playing . This helps in reducing cooldown of which can be a game changer during all game stages. It also reduces the cooldown of and help in early-mid game, and reduce the cooldown of .

✦✦

Similar to , is not need for because most of the game she attaches to a teammate who will carry her around. The bonus movement speed that gains from will not affect her carry.

✦✦

is a good pick for since her health is over 70% most of the time. It is a nice poking rune especially when paired with . Pick when you know that your in lanning phase will have a hard time farming.

✦✦

A great rune to consider when you want to poke the enemy. Thus, pick along with and when playing aggressively with . It will make the enemy prone to death when your ganks, and helps kill the enemy faster.

✦✦

You can take a hint from that this rune is not useful for . Statements include "A River?! Uh-uh! Book hates water!!" and "Do not drop me, Do NOT drop me!!" as well. should attach to her carry most of the time and should not roam in the river alone,

✦✦

My most recommended rune for . It scales in late game as does in late game, increasing thus the ability power of . This gives two advantages, the first is increasing the healing powers of , the second is increasing the adaptive force of 's carry.

✦ Secondary path: Precision

✦✦

does not build life-steal items because that will not be useful for her carry and it won't be useful for her because she will be attached to her carry most of the game and not attacking the enemy. Do NOT pick this rune for the no matter what.

✦✦

As a , you should not be stealing kills from your carry, and even if it happened by any chance, will most likely be attached to a teammate with a full health bar, so it will not benefit her. is not useful and not recommended for the non-targetable .

✦✦

The ideal choice for , along with , will help sustaining mana. Use when is not used occasionally. This increases mana span and preserves a fair amount of mana in case her carry needed healing.

✦✦

This rune is more useful for and AD carries who depend on attack speed to takedown enemies and destroy turrets faster. should not roam alone attacking turrets. Moreover, she should not steal kills from her carry. Not recommended rune.

✦✦

Similar to , is attached to a teammate and should not takedown the enemy, and even if she did and she detached for her passive and she get stunned, it will not help with the cooldown of . Definitely not recommended.

✦✦

Increase the life steal upon enemy takedowns. Thus, similar to and , this rune is the worse pick for , unless it is a new meta but it most likely will not be dedicated to as a , not in this guide at least.

✦✦

gains extra adaptive force from her carry, thanks to , this makes poking with stronger and makes the enemy vulnerable to death which forces them to and deny them gold and experience in laning phase.

✦✦

The ideal choice for especially against tanky s. That is because has the lowest health compared to other champions. This means she will deal extra damage to enemies during all game and not exclusive to certain case as in .

✦✦

Basically, focuses on boosting with her . and will not be enough to kill an enemy. will be demolished before dealing enough damage to take down her enemy. Not recommended for .

✦ Secondary path: Inspiration

✦✦

✦✦

Boots are not needed for . should not roam because it is dangerous, she attaches to an alley who roams and she helps keeping him safe. In case you picked for by mistake, fear not, you can sell it and make use of the gold.

✦✦

This rune grants a , it is a counter-intuitive item for to have. It is mostly useful when the enemy tries to under turret, activate it and wonders will happen. Sell the for some gold or sell it before use.

✦✦

A good option to consider, this gives the opportunity to build her item through a loan and thus boosting her ally faster. The amount of borrowed gold ranges from 50-150 gold, it is not great but it still can be useful. Always consider when going for .

✦✦

Even if you pick for , is not going to be useful to or her through the whole game. Plus, when picking , should depend on other runes and not .

✦✦

This biscuit can be useful to in two ways; the first is filling her missing mana she loses from using or , the second is selling them for gold and increased mana capacity. can be a good option for ..

✦✦

If you are going for for then should always be picked. It increases the ability haste and item haste, which means boosting items like and abilities which increases the survivability of 's carry.

✦✦

may detach from her ally to ensure hitting perfectly, but that is most likely the only useful way to make use of and it is not going to work 100% of times. Thus, it is not as useful for as .

✦✦

A rule of thumb when playing: does not use potions because she is mostly attached to her ally most of the time, and if she get injured, she can heal herself with . Therefore, will not be useful to her nor to her carry. Not an ideal for .

✦ Secondary path: Resolve

✦✦

Destroy turrets through lanning phase or when split pushing is a game-changer strategy. However, cannot do it on her own, moreover, 's max health will not allow her to do much damage to the turret, thus, is not a priority for .

✦✦

synergy with the slow from and the stun from . It may not heal your greatly early game, but in late game, 's max health increase with the passive of making useful.

✦✦

Increases armor and magic penetration when shielded. will mostly shield her ally, and even if she is alone, the bonus penetration will not benefit much. may be useful for y s, but it is not recommended for .

✦✦

Increases armor and magic resistance after minute 12. Another trait that -who is attached to an ally most of the time- does not need. Do not pick for the . As , this is more useful for s.

✦✦

In most cases, will not take damage from the enemy, and even if she did while detached and she attaches again to an ally, the health regeneration will not be sufficient for . Do not pick when choosing .

✦✦

Basically, if get hit by the enemy, she should instantly attaches to her ally, or escape the enemy to prevent getting more damage. Staying detached will make vulnerable and the trait from will most likely not save her.

✦✦

The extra health gets from the death of nearby minions, synergies with . If is not picked, then will make no use of max health gained from and it is more useful for y champions.

✦✦

Perfect choice for , it strengthen the healing from and as well as increasing the shield from and passive. Always pick when choosing .

✦✦

will not make use of the tenacity and slow resist she gets from , in most cases 's health will be 100%, and the passive cannot be transferred to her carry. Pick for instead of .

✦ Secondary path: Domination

✦✦

This rune synergies with , after the enemy is stunned by the ultimate, the next beams will deal true damage to the enemy. However, it does not synergy with . It is an aggressive option, but it is not recommended for .

✦✦

in most cases stays safe with full health, thus, will not make use of the healing from . Also, it is dangerous for to detach from her ally, the health she is going to lose is more than the one she will gain. Do not pick this rune.

✦✦

does not blink, dash, nor exit stealth, and even is she did, she will not make use of the bonus lethality, armor penetration or magic penetration. Do not pick this rune for when she has better options to use to support her carry or support herself.

✦✦

With , grants her marksman and her team vision for extra two minutes, it can be most useful when uses s or . Also, it grants additional adaptive force that increases the power of her abilities.

✦✦

The adaptive force provided from the passive of is similar to , yet it spawns a ghost Poro from s and grants extra 90 seconds of vision if not detected by the enemy. It is most ideal when placed in dragon pit.

✦✦

Shares the same adaptive force passive of and yet it works differently. grants adaptive force through taking down enemies. Thus it won't contribute to overall vision which is an essential part of being a .

✦✦

✦✦

✦✦

The greatest pick for . reduces the cooldown on 's ultimate thus increases the aggressiveness of and the survivability of her carry.

Note: Check warding section for more details

✦ Rune Shards

The first rune shard to consider is either adaptive force, or ability haste. The standard pick recommended in this guide is ability haste because it reduces the cooldown of which is terribly needed in early game. On the other hand, adaptive force increases the healing power of , synergies with and can also be used when playing aggressively instead of ability haste. attack speed is not a good choice for as she does not depend on auto attacks in her gameplay.
The second rune shard should always be adaptive force. Even if the composition of enemy team is heavy AD or heavy AP, it is not recommended to build pick magic resistance or armor.
The final rune shard is optional and situational. For instance, when planning on using and building , would be a good choice. Other than that, the basic choice for armor, it helps reducing the AD taken from the enemy . If is facing an AP carry instead of AD carry, pick magic resist instead.

✦ Rune Sets

Typical:
This is your basic runes set if you are new to , playing against a balanced team composition, or simply do not know which runes to choose. and help make up the mana uses for healing; and +8 ability haste hasten abilities which especially needed for ; increases poke damage along with +9 adaptive (9 AP) and that may be a late game rune but not only it deals increased damage, but it also boosts healing powers and shield.

Typical - Inspiration:
will be your choice when you need against a strong early game matchups who pokes heavily. It is where you need to haste to heal and build your items faster to support your AD carry. will reduce mentioned ability along with , and helps build items faster and save your AD carry. is also useful when you know you are going to buy s more than usual, this way, will balance between purchasing s and building your items.

Typical - Resolve:
runes on helps boosting her ally in trading. on the other hand, may not help in mana regeneration or ability haste, but it increases healing powers and durability and sustaining their ally. synergies with before level 6, and after level 6. increases shielding and healing power that as mentioned, synergies with , , and which is useful against heavy poking lane.

Aggressive:
A good choice against enchanters and healers, and/or when your AD carry plans on playing aggressively against any champion role and you need to support them with extra damage. Since sticks to her ally most of the time, her health will be above 70%, therefore, the damage she deals with increases. add up to that damage by burning the enemy. As for runes, helps uses more occasionally if kills or assist in killing. connected to contribution to kills, so if unsure about contribution to kills, pick or instead, the bonus damage from them is less than though. Switch with for bonus damage.

Aggressive - Arcane Comet:
Similar to previous set. Switching to will increase damage, but it will leave your carry vulnerable, that is because, when uses , shields her ally, making it useful especially when the enemy your ally. Moreover, when auto attacking the enemy for , using , aery attacks the enemy too. deals more damage than but it does not shield . Picking is not highly recommended.

Q- Are there other runes to recommend?

It is always possible to try runes other than 's . For instance, you can go for 's which will grant a shield to your carry. helps sustain your carry more, pick to give your carry the chance to heal by slowing the enemy with or rooting them with , and to increase healing. Pair it wih or to help with mana regeneration.

You can also try 's which grants your team many benefits, pick to increase mana span and to reduce ability haste. Pair it with 's and to increase healing your teammates. However, you will depend on mana regeneration items a lot since both these runes do not grant mana regeneration ability.

You can try these two rune trees in game and see the wonders it works, you can also try other rune paths for fun since they will probably support and not her teammates, such as building AD items with or mage items with . If your aim to have fun, try everything, if you want to win the game, then it is best to stick with the runes recommended in this guide.

Flash

Earlier in this guide, it was mentioned that should have 3% to support herself. represents the 3%. While most will argue without a clear reason with: " should not take a flash" and it is probably because she attaches to an ally most of the game, it does not mean that picking for is a wrong or weak move. is useful for for multiple reasons; first of all: who put the rule that if 's carry die she should die with him too?! It is pretty similar to "a captain will be the last person to leave a ship alive before its sinking or utter destruction" but in a different way. If 's carry dies, she has every right to escape and not granting the enemy extra 300 gold and feeding him, and thus, creating less trouble for your team, especially if has a bounty from killing enemies, enemy team should not be strengthen with the extra gold. If you think that chances for escaping with is low, then you need to rethink it again and know that her chances of escaping is as good as any other champion in the game. Also, with , has almost a 100% chance to win against turret dives and killing the enemy or at least survive the dive. If grants gold to the enemy, then she is not doing her complete job as a , she is an independent champion who shouldn't rely on having a nearby ally champion to attach to not feed the enemy. The only case I would recommend using another summoner spell as a substitute to is when you are a premade with your carry and you fully trust their gameplay and their decisions during the game; in other words, it is when you know that they will do 99% perfect trades and they will do their best to keep both themselves and safe no matter how risky their play style can be, and you would admit that if they die, then you were pretty much are going to die with them with or without the .
Here is a proof from my previous games. If it is still not convincing, I can upload more videos to convince you that Flash works for Yuumi too until you are satisfied.

10 Reasons Why It Works!

Heal

should be picked for most of the times, even if your AD carry wants a different summoner spell, ask them to change their summoner spell if they do not plan on going for a double . The reason behind that is because the items builds synergy with as much as they do with . Also, if the enemy uses on your , the healing effect from will not be as effective, and if your ally's health is low and they use it will not save them. However, if does use it in the same situation, she will shield them with and increase the survivability chance for your carry.
Always check if the enemy and has ignite as a summoner spell, if they do have , make sure to use before they ignite your , or when the effect of ends. This will guarantees the optimum effect from . If the enemy and do not carry , then the use of will be situational.
Also, you can use when the enemy is not engaging your , do it when your is standing under the turret using or waiting for your when the enemy minions are not around, this will increases the health of your faster without the enemy realizing if you used so they won't ping it to their team.

But, does Yuumi even benefit from Heal?

Exhaust

Picking against engaging champions and burst damage champions such as , , , or even from the gank is useful to prevent them from killing the because it slows the enemy and reduce the dealt damage to your or carry. It can also be useful in preventing the enemy from escaping. During champion select, if your is not planning on picking , and you find it necessary to have it as a summoner spell, pick along with .

Ignite

An aggressive option to pick, it is most useful when playing against a healer such as or because deals grievous wounds and can prevent the healer from saving their or any of their teammates when they are on low health. Also, will deal damage for 5 seconds, which means, if the enemy health is low, the possibility of them to die from increases, thus, granting , a gold she can use.

Teleport

A pro option that I wouldn't recommend those who are new to or still have not mastered playing her to use it. for literally change the course of the game, it can grant your team a shutdown or prevent the enemy team from getting a shutdown, it can flip the tables on the enemy team, and most importantly, during a fight, when teleports, the enemy team will confuse and scatter, thinking a or a is joining the fight, this grants your team a chance to get them while scattered until teleports in and heal whoever in need with .
also be useful to join your teammates when they are far in the map and you need to catch up with them, or for instance, when the team carry uses , can catch up with them with her instantly without the need of walking all the way through. After all, is a team , but more importantly, she has to stick with the carry of the team because that is the main strategy to win the game.

Want to see how it works?

The downsides of though, it is going to take a place of another summoner spell that can be useful to your during laning phase, leaving your alone should not be a problem to them because all are used to having their dead and respawning, and they must manage to play safely until their is back to lane next to them. The other downside is that you need to keep an eye on all of your allies on the map to know when to in. For example, you do not want to to a lost fight, i.e, 1vs3, and you should not teleport to champions who are low on mana and cannot fight, you should also know where the enemy is before deciding to joining a fight, after all, if the fight is going to be lost, it is better for the enemy to have one kill than to have two kills.

✦ Summoner Spells Choices

✦ Basic ✦

Your typical choice. helps with saving your carry, saving and the rest of the mentioned reasons. saves your carry when is out of mana to heal with , synergies with and boost their movement speed. If unsure which summoner spells to pick, then and is your choice.

✦ Professional ✦

may help and her nearby ally, on the other hand is more of a late game summoner spells as it leaves your AD carry in lane phase vulnerable and gives the enemy in bot lane the advantage over 's AD carry. If your AD carry is not your premade and if you do not know what you are doing. Do not pick these summoner spells.

✦ Perfect Carry (PC) ✦

When your AD carry is a professional player, someone who will never die and let die, and if they die, they adapt to the enemy motives. help them win 2 vs 2 fight when the enemy have the advantage, and if they cannot win, they can escape with , helps them for previously mentioned reasons.

✦ PC (vs. Healers) ✦

The most aggressive choice for . helps your carry for the mentioned reason, reduce healing the enemy receive from their enchanter or from . will be useful for the mentioned purpose until you get , after that, it burns enemy and deals damage your carry can already do, making it thus less useful.

Q- What about the other summoner spells?

The mentioned summoner spells are the ideal to be used for and her carry during the game. As mentioned earlier in this guide, has the right to keep herself safe by using as an essential summoner spell because it can also be useful to keep your allies safe or granting them kills, but on the other hand is utterly useless for because she will be attached to her carry most of the game and it can only benefit her. Similar thing can be said about . on the other hand is not useful to , compared to , she cannot escape the enemy or reach allies through nearby walls.

As for ARAM summoner spells, then know that you should always take for in place of because craves mana and it will be hard to detach from a carry to get extra mana from and attach again without getting hit, stunned or dying from the enemy during the process. should never be picked by , it does not synergy with any of the abilities, it does not synergy with , and since has low max health, she will most likely die in the den of the enemy.

Bop 'n' Block

A crucial passive for and her carry. grants a shield and restores some mana (depending on level) when she auto attacks an enemy. is especially necessary during lane phase when 's mana regeneration is low and she craves it to sustain her . Its cooldown scales greatly from 18 seconds to 6 seconds in late game.

| Restored mana: 25−100 (based on level) (+ 8% maximum mana) | Shield: 60 − 400 (based on level) (+ 30% AP) |

✦ Abilities Sequence

The first ability to level up is and the second to max is . Keep in mind that the enemy and sees your as a weak prey because they can focus their attacks and abilities on them, and if they are good enough, they know that they need to play aggressively to deny the experience and gold for your carry. may not be strong at level 1, yet it can at least keep your carry in lane playing safely under turret along with the help of the shield from . As for , it is to poke the enemy and start scaling your and .

As for the sequence of maxing the abilities, it should be as the following: , , and finally as shown in the following figure. The reason behind that is that your teammates will find and much more useful in mid and late game than . does not always reach level 18 even in long games, especially if her carry sticks in the jungle. That is why you should prioritize maxing scale the other abilities before .

The only thing that scales with is the damage it deals, the slow duration does not increase. Thus, a level 1 can be helpful in slowing the enemy when your team needs the slow, on the other hand your teammates will build items that will deal damage. Your allies will find the passive from and the power of much more useful than . Even if you think that you need to scale in aggressive lane, know that your needs healing from more. Even if you think that will do the job for protecting your carry, it will be hard for to detach against and and attach to her thanks to their high immobilizing that prevents from attaching back. Thus, for poking, depend more on runes, or and .

✦ Combos

If you accidently -or intentionally- leveld up first, fear not, this combo will keep your AD carry safe (thanks to ) until reaches level 2 and can use . Also, this combo can be used in two different ways, the first is to provide a shield to your AD Carry with when is on cooldown and your enemy is damaging the AD carry; the second is simply to gain mana and/or shield with 's passive .

A common combo to use during phase when is not consuming mana with . Use to poke the enemy and give your AD carry the advantage in lane, then, restore mana with -and gain shield- through detaching from your carry, auto attacking the enemy, and attaching back to your ally. This combo is mainly useful in duels, do not use this combo during teamfights, in this case, will mostly be useful to slow the enemy to slow them for offenseive or defensive purposes when the fight is about to end.

If you build , you may skip using this combo for defense, if it is still necessary to use the combo, then make sure to activate after rooting the enemy and make sure that your ally is not slowed since does not negate slow effect.

Use this combo when you find it hard to land when is attached on ally. Use when you're on ally, the enemy will try to fall back and that is when is most safe, detach and move freely to ensure hitting the enemy with rays, when they're rooted, use to attach back to your ally.

Once you are sure about building a mythic item, start by building since it increases max mana to 300 mana, and it helps with mana regeneration. It also helps deciding which mythic item to build.

Even if it is built for , it will be necessary to build 1 or 2 items to make up for the consumed mana. Moreover, 's coruscation is similar to 's coordinated fire but does not grant the other mentioned benefits needs. You may try these items if you are going off-meta and change from the healer to the tank.

Note: You should always aim to build your mythic item first, especially if you plan on building an item that has a unique active such as Shurelya's Battlesong or Everfrost. But in some games, it is recommended to build a legendary item first such as Mikael's Blessing when playing against AP carry Cassiopeia who have the potential to kill your carry with her Petrifying Gaze when he does not have Cleanse in his summoner spells. In this case, build your mythic item right after building the legendary item.

Item Sequence

By building , you had enough time to know which one of your teammates have the potential to carry the game. If it is a , build first, if it is a , build , if your game is going really good, build right after your mythic item, or at least build and finish building . Finally, build before or after since the enemy team always have a way to heal with items, runes, passive and/or abilities.

Boost Ally Build

Item Sequence

Aim for this build when you see your team winning since early game. Building boosts your AD carry in lanning phase and boost your team later in teamfights. It is especially important in lanning phase when you are playing against an aggressive such as to damage them fast, and for late game champions that requires extra damage support early game such as and grant them movement speed for 2 seconds to engage or escape. Next, build to increase the damage of your carry, especially the ones that scale with ability power such as 's , and reduce the abilities cooldown which is needed by most AD carries such as 's to slow an enemy. If your AD carry is , build first to boost . Next, build to boost healing and increase adaptive force, this item will support all champions especially s, if you aim to build another item first, then build to collect stacks. The last item to build is situational, you may build if you need anti-healing item, or you build for further damage and healing. If the game goes as planned (when you built ), then you will probably end the game before complete building the last two items.

Aggressive Build

Item Sequence

If you are playing against a healer and/or a late game champion, then this is going to be your basic build. You need to poke heavily with in early game to gain gold from and force the enemy to use their s and force them to recall or denying them gold and experience. Use whenever you find the opportunity for the same mentioned purpose until you get enough gold to build where you ensure that your enemy do not escape you. Build so grant her carry to inflict grievous wounds while your carry focuses on building necessary items to deal damage. If you are winning, build , if you are even with the enemy team, build or depending on whether your carry is a or a .

Vs. Heavy Tank Build

Item Sequence

This is a suggest build when the enemy threat is a . Taking a down such as or requires lethality or a such as who deals true damage. Therefore, building may contribute to taking him down, but it will not do much. That is why picking on is tricky. is an aggressive choice against squishy champions as well, but it does not support your carry as or does. Moreover, most champions can slow or CC, that is why you should always have to it to save your carry when slows them for example. If you do not know what you are doing, build another mythic item instead of . Also, since most champions heal, build for your carry, and lastly, build or . If you are winning the game, switch with .

Defensive Build

Item Sequence

This is when you know that you are playing against a hard matchup. The purpose of this build is to increase healing and shielding powers to your ally. Do not buy unless you know that your AD carry is new to lane or champion or they have a short range of attacks and they're gonna be build. If that is not the case, build to help with regenerating mana. Build and damage the enemy with or to help your carry heal. Build and because they grant 20% heal and shield power, not to mention the save your ally with extra healing from and removing CC with . Build for your carry, and build to increase grant more vision and keep you carry safe, and also build it to increase ability power and haste.

The best defense is offence, therefore, it is best to pick one of the previous builds instead of this one. If you are sure that your game is going to be rough, pick this build.

Note 1: If the enemy support is a healer, do your marksman a favour and build Chemtech Putrifier before building your mythic item. This way your marksman deal damage, get healed by Zoomies and take the enemy down easier instead of relying on solely on Ignite.

Note 2: If you are playing against a heavy CC bot lane, build Mikael's Blessing before building your mythic item. Not only it removes CC and help your marksman trade, but it also empowers Zoomies and Feline Friendship powers by 20%. Advice your marksman to build Quicksilver Sash.

Note 3: The course of the game can change anytime making Yuumi's build in some cases less efficient for her carry. Do not hesitate to sell your mythic item and switch it for another win. For example, if Jax is your carry, and you have Everfrost, sell it and get Moonstone Renewer, he will benefit more from it.

Note 1: Things may differ between champions in the same role. For instance, most fighters has CC abilities such as Poppy's Heroic Charge or Jax's Counter Strike and that is why it is recommended to build Mikael's Blessing to negate the stun. Master Yi on the other hand, does not have an ability that immobilizes a champion, thus, building Mikael's Blessing against Master Yi is not recommended. Also, since Mikael's Blessing does not negate airbone, then the same case applies with abilities with fighter champions as Yasuo's Steel Tempest. The same applies for other roles. Therefore, check the following seciton for recommendations in-detail for each champion.

Note 2: keep track of the build of your team especially your potential carry to know which items suits them best. Also, always check who the enemy carry is and what is their build to know which items Yuumi should build to counter them that goes accordingly with your carry. For instance, you should build Chemtech Putrifier against enchanters, however, if your carry built anti-heal item such as Mortal Reminder or Thornmail, then build another item to support sustaining them or increase the damage they deal.

Matchups: In-Depth

This section covers common match-ups in bot lane. Common AD carries you support or play against as well as s you face. It explores how can counter them, how they counter , and recommends set of items and runes in both cases.

Note 1: You will notice that "standard" is the recommended Sorcery runes when playing with or against certain champions. Standard means the typically recommended runes for Yuumi mentiond abovee. In other words, Summon Aery + Manaflow Band + Transcendence + Gathering Storm.

Note 2: Sometimes it is easy pre level 6 to decide which mythic item to build, for example, playing aggressively with Everfrost, or playing defensivly with Shurelya's Battlesong. If it is still early to decide which mythic item to build, build a legendary item first such as Mikael's Blessing, Chemtech Putrifier, etc., by then, it will become clear which of the recommended mythic items you should build to support your AD carry.

Matchups: Other Synergies

Since can be anyone's "cuddly" buddy, here is a section that covers how can support the rest of the champions that usually play in top lane, jungle and mid lane. You need to check this section when you realize that your AD carry is not going to be the one to carry the game, regardless the effort you did as . Champions arranged according to their most popular position.

Note 1: this matchups section provides focus on when to use You and Me! so Yuumi does not get vulnerable and not being to attach back; and when to use Final Chapter when playing with or against a certain champion (when to be aggressive, when to be passive and what cancels Final Chapter when Yuumi is detached). It also recommends certain summoner spells and support items that helps you push your carry. I.e., this section do not cover which runes to choose since you will decide the runes based on your matchup during championn select.

Note 2: keep in mind that in all matchups, you need to use Zoomies to heal your carry and increase their movement speed to escape or catch an enemy, and attack speed to deal more damage to enemy champion or enemy turret or help, and use Prowling Projectile to help your carry catch or escape an enemy.

Note 3: you will notice that sometimes, more than a mythic item recommended, based on the game flow, choose your mythic item. If you think that certain mythic item will help your teammates and carry more, DO NOT sell your current mythic item until you have the price of your next mythic item and you can purchase it.

Note 4: I have not played all champions, also, I did not have the honor of supporting certain champions -such as taliyah, kled, or ornn- occasionally. Therefore, if you main any of the following champions and you have information to add, please do in the comments section, I will be more than please to provide a better guide! <3

Recommended Summoner Spells:

Recommended Items:

: generally good
: essential item

Note 1: when playing against Evelynn, know that it takes few seconds to activate the charm of Allure. Therefore, Yuumi can detach after using Allure on her ally safely for bop 'n' bock, if Evelynn used Allure on detached Yuumi, Yuumi can quickly attach to ally and prevent being charmed.

Note 2: using Ignite on Evelynn in a teamfight can reveal Evelynn, thus, easily chase her if she's trying to escape and also prevent her from camouflaging with Demon Shade and healing.

Note 3: Evelynn becomes untargettable with Last Caress and wraps backwards a long distance. Therefore, whether you play with or against Evelynn, keeps this in your consideration and calculate when to use Final Chapter. If Evelynn is your teammate, a rule of thumb is to track if Last Caress is ready to use or on cooldown.

Note 4: Evelynn is a strong foe that can one shot almost everyone in late game but her main weakness is her squishiness. Preventing Evelynn from scaling requires placing Control Wards to prevent a gank. Evelynn in most cases will try to destroy Control Wards, take her by surprise and immoblize her wether with Final Chapter or allow your ally to immoblize her and take her down with burst damage, this strategy either kills Evelynn or forces her to use Last Caress to escape, preventing her from ganking again until Last Caress is ready to use.

Note 1: you cannot escape Akali. If she hits your teammate with Shuriken Flip, she can recast it and catch them. Even if they Flash, Ghost or use any other movment speed means, she can still catch them with Perfect Execution. For the same reason, it is hard to catch Akali if she is escaping. Therefore, if your carry's movement is swift, you can help them to escape from Shuriken Flip with Shurelya's Battlesong. If Akali has the upper hand, build Everfrost so when Akali recasts the ability, you can root her, and root her further with Final Chapter and help your team take her down.

Note 2: if Akali is in the enemy team, and she uses Shuriken Flip on Yuumi, do not attach back to your teammate until she recasts the ability to ensure they stay safe. Move away from them before she recasts to ensure that she will not target them first. If Akali is your teammate, then as in the case with any other Assassin , during a fight, do not detach from Akali.

Pro Tip: a fed enemy Akali is almost an unsolvable problem, she can one shot everyone, cooldown duration of her abilities is pretty short. Always deep ward to know her location and avoid fighting her. If your carry happens to be in a situation where she can dive them, detach and do the sacrifice, let her cast Shuriken Flip on Yuumi, and when she is about to recast Flash through a wall so your carry stays safe and figure how to carry a game. If there is no wall nearby, Flash away, in the opposite direction from where your carry is headed.

Now, you know how works with ALL champions in the game, now, you can even know how to support or play against these champions in the case of troll picks in botlane. Again, I have supported a lot of troll picks as a in botlane, including supporting and . You do not need to feel anxious with troll picks in bot lane. Remember to follow the common rules when playing . For example, when tries to put your AD carry to sleep, detach and take the hit from them so does not deal great damage for them; let taunts your AD carry before detaching for ; use after uses his ultimate to save your AD carry and help him engage; buy to prevent from healing; get to clear stun done by , detach for with after the enemy uses their CC ability, and so on.

Remember, always keep track of the enemy KDA before engaging. For instance, if your team carry is a marksman, there is nothing they can do against a fed, smart Akali, nor Yuumi can something about her. The best to do in this case is to deep ward to avoid the disaster. Also, do not forget that Yuumi, essentially is a healer, keeping her safe is an essential task to fulfill to hard carry the game, because if she dies, her allies will probably die too. Do your best to support your carry so they stay safe, thus, Yuumi stays safe too.

What is important for all players is to know who is your AD carry (), and who is the enemy and . Accordingly, you will decide which play style is going to suit and her . Is your have a strong early game and both and her are going to be aggressive early game? Is the a late game champion and will do the poking job? Are you facing a heavy CC champions and you will need to play safely and calculating when to detach for ? What kind of runes and summoner spells do you need to win lane and help your get fed?
Making decisions as these are important and are part of macro playing. Know how to play in all cases as shown in previous sections and the chances to win the game increases.

✦ Pre Laning Phase: Defend / Leash

When spawns and before getting to lane, go to bot side jungle and help your by protecting him from any possible invade and help him with pull or leash. If your is going to the top side of jungle, then keep watch before his buff spawns and watch out of enemy invade. At minute 1:20, place a and go to lane. This may seem optional but its crucial, if the enemy invades bot side jungle, your will rework his path in jungle and invade the enemy jungle and make up for the lost buff and/or farm. Since already placed , your will have one to place it where it fits their needs.

If you plan on helping the leash, know that would have two abilities available, and . Attach to your as they attack the blue/red buff, when you see the take damage from the buff, attach to them to protect them from the damage with the help of shield. Do not use to heal them, your will heal them, preserve the mana of to laning phase.

Where to position for leash?

✦ Early Game: Laning Phase

Pre-level 6: focuses on poking the enemy for her and sustaining him. This is the most important stage for and her and will decide the course of the game. Read your enemy movements and actions and act upon it.
The first ability to unlock is , so in case the enemy take your by surprise and stuns them, your may away and use , but with , they won't need to play defensive under turret and losing experience and gold, they can farm as soon as heals them.

As for reading the enemy means you should see their play style. For instance, when playing against , know that the first ability she is going to unlock is and the second is where she can reach . This means, is safe to detach for before gets to level 2. But in rare cases, players unlock first taking by surprise and preventing her from attaching back to her . will help keeping safe until she can attach to her ally again and grant you the knowledge to play safe from level 1.

Another example of reading the enemy moves is how they make use of the lane brushes. Does the enemy stay in brushes all the time and hit their ability by surprise such as with or ? Or do they tend to stay near minions next to their where they farm? In the second case, can see the enemy and she can poke them, the can also see them and move accordingly. If the enemy stays in brushes, then you need to uses s to know where they stand and poke them or even to force them to leave the brushes. If or her do not have , then stay away from brushes and the enemy will leave them eventually.

At level 2 is where the real game for begins. unlocked and poking starts. If your stays at full health, then consume mana for and detach occasionally for , lower the health of the enemy while your enjoys farming until your find a perfect opportunity to engage. If the enemy pokes your heavily, preserve the mana of and use it for . Do not use unless the ally ganks and you need to slow the enemy with . If you are facing a tough enemy matchup, go back to base whenever you take down the enemy with or without your 's help to have the advantage of the enemy.

That is pretty much how the game play will be for before level 6. Based on the situation of the lane, you will decide which mythic item to get for . If you are winning lane, tend to play aggressively and pick , if you are even and your carry gets stronger in late game and can easily escape the enemy, pick , if it is hard for your to escape, aim to build , if you are even but the enemy scales better, aim to build , if you are losing lane, build .

After level 6, increases the chances for her take kills more than before. If it is with , she will use for extra root, use to increase her DPS, and when she takes down the enemy she can take the other enemy faster. If it is , will take care of the enemy, if it is , will immobilize the enemy for a longer duration, and so on. If the enemy is aggressive, will save her carry and prevent the enemy from getting gold.

As for wave management, you need to follow some rules before and after level 6. is not allowed to touch any of the minions when her is farming, hitting a minion with an auto attack will probably interrupt the flow of your plan on farming. So do not get in the way of his minions except in two cases. The first is when your recalled to base and they did not push minions wave for any reason. If has enough health, stay and defend turret, DO NOT auto attack minions until they die, just last hit them when they are about to die, this way you will grant your the opportunity to farm and gain gold instead of losing it.

The second scenario is when the enemy team recalled or died in a fight and your needs to push the wave so they can recall. Use to increase their attack speed and detach to help your in pushing the wave. DO NOT hit melee minions. Focus on ranged minions (caster minions) one by one if your cannot hit all three minions such as with . Once done with caster minions, hit a siege minion (cannon) until their health gets to 20% and stop hitting it so your does not miss it. Finally, a pro tip: if you see your is getting close to the turret, and the enemy minions are pushing, freeze the wave and let the minions hit you, can heal herself with , this way, your have more chances to get gold.

Keep track of how the course of the game is going in every lane. Does your have the potential to carry the game? Do other champions in other positions have the potential to carry the game? Who is the champion that your team is going to rely on? Which champion can help to get them back to the game? Keep checking the KDA window and decide which items to build. for your after your mythic item? or for your ? Will be safe enough to build ? Or will she need ?

✦ Mid Game: Team Fight

This is the stage where it is a changing point for and her . If you won your lane, you should go to mid lane and help the other lanes (starting with mid) to pressure the lane and take down the turrets and maybe get some kills. You have to keep track of how is the condition of top and bot lane. Let is say that you won lane by pressuring the enemy, but your is not really fed while in mid lane, the enemy mid laner is very fed, taking him down will require your to farm more and gain more items to take him down. If your is even with the enemy mid laner or fed, they can take contribute in mid lane.

If and her are even with the enemy bot laners, then do not leave the lane until you take down the first turret in bot lane. Unless the top laner or mid laner ask you to switch lanes and they will push bot lane for you, keep pushing the lane. Stick with your , they are squishy and they need you. If you lost lane, stay with your and keep pushing the lane, your may be useless but you do not want to grant the enemy team any unnecessary kills. Or, you can leave your alone in bot lane and distract the enemy and pressure them so they do not go to bot lane and try to kill your and .

After the turret in bot lane is destroyed, it is time for to change her plans. You need to stick with champion who have the potential to carry the game by attaching to them to support them. If your carry is your , then you need to know what they are capable of doing and support them by start building as fast as possible. If it is a , then give priority to , refer to the previous matchups section. You also need to watch out of who is carrying the enemy team, for example, is it a champions that heals themselves with abilities such as ? Build to inflict him. grievous wounds whenever your carry attacks, and build for your carry, this way they will focus on building items that deal other kind of damage.

✦ Late Game: Where a Little Mistake Costs the Game

This is the stage where shines. Her healing powers and the power of her carry should make the game go their way. Winning or losing the game does not change the play style of , should still be sticking with her carry and keep him safe. There are two things that should be done in late game. The first is that you should grant your team a good vision so they know where the enemy is. Check warding section for more details. Thus, you are going to buy and use first, and get so you can place extra ward and 2 s on the map. The second is, if you are even or winning the game, ask your carry gently to help you get the blue buff so your cooldown of lowers and heal them almost infinitely as long as has the buff.

The cooldown of would be less than 50 seconds, therefore, use it whenever you find a chance of killing even a single enemy, this will help your team to take them down and increase their chances of winning since it will be a 4 vs 5 fight. If you see the enemy carry and you have and it is just and her carry, activate it to escape, especially if the area is not warded, you will never know who will target your carry. If you built any other mythic item, then use to increase the movement speed of your carry and depend on it to escape threat. Do not detach for , especially in this case unless 1, 2 or 3 of your team are facing a single enemy, this ensures 's to stay on cooldown, which keeps safe and thus, keeping her allies alive.

✦ Wards Types

Q1- Which is better, Ghost Poro or Zombie Ward?

Depend on the situation, can be more useful than and vice versa. Pick when you know your will keep the lane pushed and thus, the enemy will place less wards. on the other hand, is picked when you know that the enemy will keep your lane pushed. Purchase when you pick so the poro spawns. Purchase when the game starts instead of when you choose so you can destroy wards occasionally and spawn the ward.

Q2- When to use Vigilant Wardstone?

An essential item to have when the game is taking too long, especially when you are even with the enemy team. This item grants extra vision on map, allowing her to place 4 s and 2 s and 1 stored in for a situation use. This will help revealing camouflaged enemies, grant vision for your team so they know where they go, Know where the enemy carry is and if they are alone, and keep the enemy busy destroying the wards which may give your team the opportunity to take them down or take another member in the enemy team.

Q3- Are there other vision aspects?

There are two vision aspects:
Rift Scuttler: A scuttle that appear in the river. One in the river in the top side of the map that if killed, grant a vision on / , and the other in the river in the bot side that grants vision on . It is the job to take down the scuttle in early game, in mid and late game other champions can take it down to grant vision in river for their team. The vision it grants is temporary and cannot be taken down by the enemy. If you are pushing your lane, and you see your nearby to take it down, join him to help him and scare the enemy off to not take it.
Scryer's Bloom: A planet that when hit by basic attack that provides vision temporary based on the direction you hit it from. 8 plants placed in map, on the top and bot of each quarter of the jungle. In early and mid game, use it to grant a vision on to check if the enemy is trying to take down, or use it towards the pit or nearby brush to deny any existing vision. It can also be used when taking down or before starting to prevent the enemy from revealing your teammates when killing drake.

✦ Warding

Note: this section covers how to ward for all champions and not just for Yuumi. It includes where to ward exclusively bot lane, and for objectives. For in-depth reading, check this link: https://mobalytics.gg/blog/lol-warding-guide/

Leash:
If you are defending the bot side buff, and your aims to the top side buff, place a in the buff brush to inform your and your team from enemy invade, so either your AD carry and mid laner and/or get to the enemy and kill them, or, your think of a plan like invading the enemy jungle. Place the at 1:20.

Early Game:
Since the number of wards you have early game are limited to both you and your AD carry. Then you need to place wards based on your position in lane. If you're being pushed all the time, you would not need to ward the river. If the enemy ganked you once or twice from your jungle, ward the bush close to turret. If you are in the mid of your lane, ward lane bushes of the enemy tends to stay in bush, and ward the river bushes. If you are pushing or in even position as your enemy, make sure to ward the drake pit and the brush close to mid lane, especially if the enemy mid laner roams a lot and camps your lane. Finally, place a deep ward so when your top laner (or mid laner in some cases) sees an opportunity they will to your lane and help you out.

Special Case:
This is a special placement for wards when playing against champions that do not ome to your lane through the river even after you destroy blast cone such as , , , , etc. Champions that camouflage and would not be detected by , or they can jump over walls making the typical ward placement useless. Placing wards everywhere else including brushes is a must, i.e., in corridors, near walls and in the middile of river. Read the strategy of the enemy to place wards smartly; this way you can crerate a special typical warding that game. Build if necessary and remember, special warding rules applies to enemy champions in other lanes too especially mid-lane.

which champions included in the special case?

Mid Game:
Since most champions tend to roam in mid game, it is essential to deep ward when sieging (taking down turrets) since warding in closer brushes will not prevent the crisis. Knowing where the enemy is will help your AD carry choose the best root to escape when they spot the enemy coming from a specific -or multiple- directions.

Late Game:
If your team is even with the enemy team -a rare case-. You should follow the previous warding tips.If your team managed to push to the enemy inhibitor successfully, or even destroyed a turret, place a ward in the enemy base so your ally with can use it to backdoor. If you are losing, ward the areas where you think the enemy be in and clear the wards they place to avoid having any of your teammates dying for a skill shot.

Major Objectives:
Ward the pit of or when your team is not planning to take them down to defend them. If they are aiming to take them down, place a in the pit if the enemy did not to deny the enemy vision or further placement of vision and prevent the enemy from stealing the objective. Check next section for more details about major objectives.

Baron Nashor

Elemental Dragons and Elder Drake

Hextech Dragon and Chemtech Dragon special warding

Objectives are 5: s and , and , Nexus, inhibitors, and turrets. As for turrets, inhibitors and nexus, cannot do much on her own nor she can split-push. She can contribute though by using to increase the attack speed of her carry and take down turrets or inhibitors faster, or through having a good map awareness and ping what to target next. Elemental dragons and other major objectives covered briefly.

The same applies for the rest of objectives with a little differences. In the case of s and , should ward -as shown before- to avoid possible danger or steal so and her team granted buff. If it is dragon then a permanent buff until they get a powerful soul buff, and if it is or then it is a powerful temporary buff. alone cannot take down drake, but the least she can do is informing her teammates through vision if the enemy is taking down objective and heal them with to increase their ability power and attack speed, and having their health full if the enemy joins.

Remember, the main goal of the game is destroying the enemy Nexus. Sometimes the nexus is exposed but your team cannot destroy it. Even if that is not the case, you need to think of other objectives to care for. The first objective to give priority to is , then soul or , next the enemy inhibitor to keep them busy defending while doing other objective such as (if possible switch into two groups, one for inhibitor and the other starting ), finally, turret.

✦ Elemental Dragons

Cloud Drake:
Buff: Gain 12 / 24 / 36 / 48 ultimate haste.
Soul: Gain 10% passive movement speed which is increased to +50% movement speed for 6 seconds after casting your ultimate.
The soul buff is not useful for . The regular buff on the other hand is powerful buff to . It shortens cooldown duration making it easier for to spam whenever needed instead of preserving it for special situations.

Infernal Drake:
Buff: Gain 4 / 8 / 12 / 16% attack damage and ability power.
Soul: Basic Attacks and Abilities deal 80 (+ 22.5% bonus AD) (+13.5%AP) (+2.5% bonus HP) adaptive damage to the target and nearby enemies (3 second cooldown).
A powerful buff for . 4% in early game is not strong, but after building few items, it becomes powerful, especially if your team slain more than an Infernal Drake. The soul buff is more powerful, allowing to heal more with , grant more adaptive force with and damage more with and .

Mountain Drake:
Buff: Gain 6 / 12 / 18 / 24% armor and magic resistance.
Soul: Gain a 200 (+18% bonus AD) (+13.5% AP) (+13.5% HP) shield after not taking damage for 5 seconds.
will not make use of the resistance from the regular buff or the soul buff since she attaches to an ally most of the time.

Ocean Drake:
Buff: Regenerate 2.5 / 5 / 7.5 / 10% of missing health every 5 seconds
Soul: Heal for 160 (+ 36% bonus AD) (+22.5% AP) (+9% bonus HP ) and restore 80 (+3.5% maximum mana) mana over 4 seconds whenever you deal damage to enemies. Dealing damage to minions and monsters regenerates with 30% effectiveness.
Similar to Mountain Drake, does not benefit from the buff and soul buff of Ocean Drake for the same reason.

Hextech Drake:
Buff: Gain 5 / 10 / 15 / 20% attack speed + 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 ability haste
Soul: Gain a chain lightning slow on their next basic attack or ability that deals 25-75 true damage (bassed on champion level), bounces to 3 additonal target, and slows units hit by 45/35% (melee/ranged)(5+% per 1000 bouns health, +1% per 100 bonus AD) for 2 seconds
Attack speed from buff may not be useful for , but the ability haste and soul makes deal more damage during a fight and more helpful. As for the gates, if gets immobilized right when she used the gate, she can still escape, if she's immobilized while channeling then it is canceled, so be careful.

Chemtech Drake:
Buff: Gain 5 / 10 / 15 /20% bonus damage against enemies with 340-1020 (based on your level) more current health than you.
Soul: Revive after death with 80% of your base health +50% of their bonus health and gain 75/30% (melee/ranged) decaying move speed. Revived champions take 40% less damage, deal 33% less daamge, and take damage equal to an ever-increasing percent of their starting health every 0.25 seconds.
The buff can be useful for since almost all champions will have more health than her, also the soul grants one more chance to save her allies with , , etc.

✦ Major Objectives

Rift Herald:
SPAWN: At 8:00. Respawns 6 minutes after it has been killed. Disappears permanently at 19:30 (19:50 if in combat). Grants Eye of Herald when killed.
BUFF: Grants the Eye of Herald that can be placed to destroy turrets, inhibitors and nexus. Grants its holder a powerful recalling buff.

Since is placed in the top side of the map, it is not job to ward it. But, if you find yourself next to herald after a team fight especially if you destroyed bot lane turret, it means you are winning the game. You can help your team taking it down by attaching to one of your allies to grant them adaptive force, and use to the ally who deals highest damage to increase their attack speed.

Baron Nashor:

SPAWN: Every 6 minutes from 20:00 onward. If not killed, the buff lasts 3 minutes.
BUFF: Obtain while alive shown by swirling violet runes. It grants:
- Empowered Recall and nearby allied minions are greatly empowered.
- Gives (12−48 bonus AD) and (20−80 ability power) -determined by the time the Baron

Here is where it is crucial for to stay alive. Not because it empowers , and other abilities. But it grants nearby minions powerful buff. So, if your teammates die and lose the buff, can still grant the buff to nearby minions, which they deal more damage and resist more damage.

Elder Dragon:
SPAWN: 6 minutes after dragon soul. If not killed, the buff lasts for 2 minutes & 30 seconds.
BUFF: Obtain :
- Damaging enemies causes them to burn for 75−225 true damage as default damage over 2.25 seconds (depending on minutes).
- Damaging an enemy champion below 20% of their maximum health blasts them with Elder Immolation after 0.5 seconds, executing them.

The most important objective of the game. has to stay alive by all means. Even if her team dies, she can still help in taking enemies down with . This can be done with when the enemy is escaping or if your teammates does not have buff. If the enemy is out of range of or if both and are on cooldown, use on the enemy and will take the kill, and thus, one less enemy for your team to be concerned about.

Elder Buff on Yuumi

Q1- Which dragon should be prioritized?

All s are important for your team. If not for then it is for one or more of her allies, and if it is not for your team then it is to deny the buff on an enemy champion who needs that buff. Moreover, when the game starts, you cannot know which s will spawn, not to mention that the type of s that spawn will be random. So, four Mountain Drakes can spawn. If your teammates does not take down the four Mountain Drakes, the enemy team will, and they will have a dragon soul. And, thus, they will be much more powerful than your team.

Q2- How can Yuumi be useful when taking objective?

The basic way to help your ally with objective is to attach to them, granting them bonus adaptive force with , and healing them and increasing their attack speed with . If you are low on mana, do not use to damage the objective, preserve your mana until you can use to heal your ally again.

How to help with objectives?

Q What about roaming?

Roaming is part of map awareness or macro, however, should not roam alone and the time she does that she knows the location of other enemy champions so they do not appear out of the blue and kill her. After all, may increase her movement speed with , but her movement speed is slow especially she does not build boots.

Roaming will make lose experience and leave her vulnerable. Therefore, when your recalls, should recall with him to make use of the gold she gained from poking. The only cases she should not recall and stay in lane or roam, are:

1. missed experience so she needs to stay in lane to match her in level.

how this helps?

2. When your did not push the wave to the enemy turret and they recalled, and the enemy got back to lane. should stay in lane to defend. As said, should not push the wave, just last hit minion. The last video shows how last hit minions.

3. When the quest of is almost complete and you need to finish the quest before going back to lane and changing from to .

4. When your forced to due to low health and/or mana, and your needs help in . Stick to your , help them with . If you have enough mana and your plans to gank mid, stick with them, keep them alive and/or get the assist.

1- Tank Turret:
While the seems a failed plan, it is absolutely the opposite. Since should always be in full health, this can be a useful plan for your carry. You can tank attached or detached. In both cases, know that turrets deal more damage after each hit and you should leave before getting executed. DO NOT do it if you do not know what you are doing.

When to use it?

2- Bait the Enemy:
Baiting the enemy is pretty easy to do with . The enemy knows that needs an ally to survive. The easiest way to bait is to in the mid of the lane and when you see the enemy act as you are running away. Yet, this is so risky. Therefore, if you do not know what you are doing, DO NOT BAIT!!

Does it work?

3- Ask Your Jungler to gift you Blue Buff:
You shouldn't ask that from your early game or when leashing, because you still want the poor to strengthen themselves, gain experience and find their way in helping your team to win, won't you? Asking for blue buff in mid game is situational, but in late game, ask them frankly to have blue buff even if they have to invade the enemy jungle. That is because in late game, teamfights happen occasionally and player will spam , regardless her scaling, she will still end up consuming all mana. Blue Buff will sustain mana and reduce cooldown of , she will probably need it more than her ally . Moreover, she can spam using freely now to help her carry move faster accross the map.

4- Fight until the End:
attach to her carry and help them win. But what if the carry dies? should never just run away, especially if you have no chance to survive. Always fight until the end, if the enemy is turret diving , fight so in case the enemy dies they do not execute and get gold, or even a bounty. Or, in laning phase, they will be busy trying to kill forgetting that they do not have the minion advantage and they die instead. Or even survive until one of your allies joins to kill them or save you.

Is it really possible to survive?

What if there is no turret around?

5- Guardian Angel trick:
Learn to attach to a champion when guaridan angel activates. This may seem impossible since detaches after they die, but in fact, it is still possbile for to do it. Learning the technique will prevent 's death and possibly help your ally survive as well and win a teamfight.[/b]

Want to see it for yourself?

6- Learn to Play All Champions:
Or at least, be aware of how they work. It is not to find a way to know how to deal with them, then it is to help your a team mate survive. It also lets you know the limits of all champions and enable you to encourage them when necessary.
