General Gameplay
Early Game
Mid-Late Game

I started playing League of Legends at the beginning of season 7. Ever since came out, she has been my most played champion by far. So far this season, I have been able to reach Platinum 2 with a 68% win rate on her. Hopefully, this guide will be able to teach you all there is to know about this champion. She is truly worth learning ♡

Heals, bonus movement and attack speed, adaptive force, AOE CC, she has it all. . . is an extremely versatile champion. She can choose to play back and peel for her allies or charge right into the heat of the battle, empowering a trusty bruiser and rendering them unkillable. Although she is not the hardest mechanically, she can be deceptively hard to play effectively. Despite popular belief, her unique playstyle gives the champion a steep learning curve, akin to that of and . Recognising when to attach and detach, understanding how to play the laning phase correctly, and knowing how and when to ward safely are just some of the intrinsics of playing her.

fares best into enemy comps where there isn't an overabundance of hard CC to reset her ability on cooldown. She is also a solid pick when your team consists of bruisers/divers. Her kit excels at enabling an ally to chase and lock down enemies due to her movement speed boosts and AOE root, essentially negating their entire weakness. paired with a hyper carry can also make an unstoppable force. Their late-game power is further spiked thanks to her bonus adaptive force and buffs, elevating them to an insurmountable strength.

Picking into a heavy CC comp is unwise. This could mean the overall team or a bot lane matchup, such as or . When is affected by any sort of hard CC, her ability resets its cooldown, leaving her vulnerable to being burst down. It can be challenging to track cooldowns during teamfights, making it dangerous to proc your passive or switch anchors. Since herself doesn't provide much damage, it can also be unwise to choose her into a comp that only consists of one damage type. Picking a mage or AD support would be a wiser choice.

Godly late game
scales extremely well into late game, especially if paired with another hyper carry or bruiser.

High utility and sustain
With her kit providing slows, heals, CC, movement and attack speed, and bonus adaptive damage, is packed with high utility and sustain that can aid her team or make bruisers invincible.

Permanant untargetability

Heavily relies on team
cannot 1v9 on her own, and requires at least one good teammate to succeed. If all lanes are losing or playing badly, then it's GG.

Vulnerable to CC
Going up against champions or a team comp with lots of hard CC will give a hard time as it resets , leaving her extremely vulnerable with no escape tools.

Extremely squishy
With one of the lowest base health in the game, getting caught out spells death in practically all situations, especially if is on cooldown.

INNATE: Periodically, 's next basic attack against an enemy Champion has an uncancelable windup, gains 50 bonus range, turns into a non-projectile, restores 25 − 100 (based on level) (+ 8% maximum mana) Mana and grants her a 60 − 400 (based on level) (+ 30% AP) Hybrid resistances shield that lasts until it is broken.
While attached, the shield transfers to her Anchor.

tips and tricks

ACTIVE: fires a missile in the target direction that deals 50 / 80 / 110 / 140 / 170 / 200 (+30% of ability power) (+2%-8% of the target's current health) in magic damage to the first enemy hit.

If the missile is in flight for 1 second, it deals increased magic damage, and if the target is a champion, slows by 20% for 1 second.

While attached, instead channels for up to 2 seconds, directing the trajectory of the missile, after which it fizzles.

tips and tricks

PASSIVE: The Anchor gains either a flat and percentage amount of their bonus attack damage or a flat and percentage amount of their ability power, based on whichever was initially higher. The percentage bonus of You and Me! also benefits from its flat bonus.

then gains flat adaptive force plus an amount based on a percentage of the Anchor's current bonus attack damage or ability power, whichever is higher. Additionally, Yuumi starts with a point in You and Me! and prowling projectilProwling Projectile instead has 6 ranks.

tips and tricks

ACTIVE: and Book channel for up to 3.5 seconds, launching 7 waves in the target direction over the duration, each dealing 60 / 100 / 140 (+20% of ability power) magic damage over 3.5 seconds. Enemy champions hit take only 50% damage from subsequent waves, and when they are struck by three waves, they become rooted for 1.75 seconds. This may only occur once per target.

tips and tricks

Hold onto your first skill point until you get to lane. Starting with is generally most ideal, but in case of an invade or bush cheese, is almost always the preferred choice and can potentially even turn fights around. Its heal and movement speed is extremely vital in escaping and/or healing your wounded allies.

During the laning phase, alternate between levelling up and . The adaptive force that provides is negligible during the early stages. Putting points in your main source of damage and sustain allows for far more effective trades and lane presence. Put a point into upon reaching level 6. Your ultimate unlocks a ton of kill pressure and can be used to peel or set up kills and ganks.

notes

After the laning phase is over, the standard option is to continue maxing and alternatively. The 8% max health damage from your Q is nothing to scoff at, and the utility that provides is one of the core parts of her kit.

Another option (and my personal preference) is to completely focus on maxing , then . Mid-late game is when team fights will become all the more common. The extra damage from becomes less relevant during the late game and its main priority should be used as a utility tool due to its slow. becomes much more game-changing as the bonus adaptive force scales with the amount of AP/AD your ally has. As always, put points into your ultimate whenever possible.

This rune is best taken into hard matchups where your win condition is to scale up into the late game and dominate from there. You should also consider your own team comp and the enemy's team comp. If you have more of a scaling comp, then definitely look to choose .

This rune pairs perfectly with an aggressive playstyle, as it provides more solid poke during the laning phase.

Taking double adaptive force rune shards is most common on . This provides her with the most bonus ability power which is always useful for early game aggression. For the third rune shard, either take bonus armour or magic resist depending on the enemy composition. Choosing bonus health is most optimal when the opposing team contains mixed damage.

Take this rune when looking for early game aggression. It's better taken into enemies can more safely and reliably poke, such as enchanter supports. It provides more damage during the early game than its counterpart . However, it falls off later on.

Since spends a lot of her time untargetable, remaining healthy is generally a much easier feat to achieve. This rune is always an option when looking for more damage and/or early game aggression. The catch is that it generally falls off mid-late game.

As previously explained, adapt your choices based on the enemy composition and preferred play style. If you value ability haste over increased damage, taking the ability haste shard instead of double adaptive force is an option. Heavy AP ➜ magic resist. Heavy AD ➜ armour. Mixed damage ➜ health.

Take into enemy bot lanes with strong healing capabilities such or or when the enemy bot lane doesn't pose enough of a threat to you to warrant more defensive summoner spells. It is important to use before your enemy has the chance to heal. Therefore, use it at the very beginning of the fight or all-in.

Only take as a replacement for your ADC when they decide to opt for a different summoner spell.

Depending on how poke-heavy the opposing bot lane is and/or how aggressive you want to play, you can either opt for one or two , but one is generally most ideal. 's are often a bandage for taking bad trades. If you play smart and not too reckless, there are very few cases where you'll actually need two.

Always opt for a as a starting item when up against an engage or heavy CC support. During these matchups, you'll be spending a significant portion of the lane attached to your ADC due to the risky nature of getting caught out.
