Yuumi Guide

By LoLSuggest

Support

Yuumi lives attached to an ally, never risking her own life, and buffs them with shields, heals, damage and speed. Like Lulu, she offers strong enchanting tools: easy to play, safe to blind pick, and able to make any teammate stronger — as long as you manage your mana and swap targets in time.

Items

Starting Items

Core Items

Situational Items

Summon Aery with Manaflow Band, Transcendence and Gathering Storm, plus Font of Life and Revitalize; a Domination secondary with Deep Ward and Ultimate Hunter is the alternative. Take Heal with Exhaust, or Heal with Ignite. Start World Atlas and a Control Ward, then buy Faerie Charm on your first recall. The core is Ardent Censer, Knight's Vow and Staff of Flowing Water, with the standard build finishing on Mikael's Blessing, Morellonomicon and Dream Maker. A full-damage build goes Staff of Flowing Water, Malignance, Imperial Mandate, Horizon Focus, Cryptbloom and Rabadon's Deathcap, and a mana-focused build uses Echoes of Helia, Dawncore and Diadem of Songs. Oblivion Orb, Mejai's Soulstealer and Void Staff are situational.

Strengths

Easy and low-risk to play, and a safe blind pick.
Strong buffs, plus a slow and a root.
Huge carry potential when attached to a good player.

Weaknesses

High mana costs, especially early.
A fairly weak early game, and squishy when detached.
If you're interrupted or don't swap before your ally dies, you'll likely die too.

Laning Phase

Whenever it's safe, hop off briefly to auto-attack and proc Bop 'n' Block for mana — your passive also gives extra attack range when it's ready. Use Prowling Projectile to check suspicious brushes without putting anyone in danger. Manage your mana carefully early.

Mid & Late Game

Don't always stay on your ADC — attach to whichever teammate is fed or diving. If your ally is about to die, detach early to a safer teammate rather than dying with them. Final Chapter's waves follow your movement, so reposition between waves to keep them on enemies.

Key Tips

Yuumi automatically detaches when her ally teleports, recalls or is pulled into Mordekaiser's or Kalista's ultimate.
Yuumi can channel the Eye of the Herald while attached.
Banshee's Veil or Sivir's Spell Shield only blocks one instance of Final Chapter's damage.
