Yuumi Abilities

Riot··2 votes·206,514 views

Passive - Bop ‘n’ Block

Every so often, Yuumi’s next attack against an opponent restores mana and grants her a shield. If Yuumi is Attached, the shield protects her ally. The shield protects Yuumi or her ally until it’s broken.

Q - Prowling Projectile

Yuumi fires a missile that deals magic damage to the first enemy hit. If the missile is in flight long enough, it deals bonus damage and slows enemies.

While Attached, Yuumi fires a missile from her ally’s position and can direct the missile’s flight path with her mouse.

W - You and Me!

Passive: While Attached, Yuumi and her ally gain a percent of each other’s AD or AP converted to Adaptive Force.

Active: Yuumi starts with a point in her W. She dashes to an ally champion and attaches to them. While Attached, she follows her partner’s movement and is untargetable by everything except tower damage. Yuumi’s abilities fire from her ally’s location, and she can’t attack enemies. There’s no cooldown to jump among her teammates. However, if Yuumi un-attaches entirely, she’ll need to wait for the cooldown to partner up, which starts as soon as she’s attached.

E - Zoomies

Yuumi heals and gains a burst of movement speed. If Attached, her ally is targeted by the spell instead. This spell has two charges.

R - Final Chapter

Yuumi opens Book, launching waves of magic damage that root enemies after multiple hits. While using her ult, Yuumi can move, attach to ally champions, and heal.

If they do what they did with the Graves guy you're going to lose that name but get the champ and skin for free.

I would assume until further explanation that anything that makes a champ untargetable would see Yuumi being removed from them (Yi q, Fizz e, Zhonya's, etc.) But I could be wrong

So what is the disadvantage to staying Attached all the time? only tower can dammage her and she can still cast spells. sure not auto attacks but she is goigto be a caster/support, AAs won't really matter.

Zulp6 votes

The disadvantages are:

-You can't auto-attack enemy champions which is important when trading in a 2 vs 2. This also means you can't gain shields for your ally or get extra mana back because that's all through her passive. You're stuck with two charges of a heal/movement speed buff on a cooldown to help sustain them.

-If you're attached to your ally and they get hard engaged on by Leona, Thresh, Nautilus then you're probably in big trouble too right? It makes it an easy two for one for the enemy unless you hopped on your ally like 3+ seconds ago (because there is a cooldown, once you jump on your ally you can't jump off right away unless it's to another ally).

-Your ally may do things you don't want them to do: bad positioning, getting caught out, towerdiving (where YOU will take the damage unless someone else dives first), etc.

-Your abilities are very telling or predictable, at least in the laning phase. If you are attached then the source of your damage is coming from where your ADC is standing and your Q can't go through minions. Now you're fighting one character with twice the abilities?

That's what I can think of right now. :)

Now that’s I have played yuumi, I can confirm that’s lack of mana is probably your biggest issue if you stay on another player (later game it’s fine though). Tower diving isn’t an issue because that doesn’t effect you unless you attack another player while the champ you’re on is under tower. Your abilities aren’t that predictable because being able to control your q is hella annoying to the other team cause you can great them easily. Also, you can jump off a champion at any time, you just have to wait for the cool down to get back on (jumping from champ to champ you don’t though).

Thats like saying that Cho'gall in HOTS has no flaws. If you have a Yuumi that is idle within whatever champion, then its essentially a 4v5 in terms of map presence. Most of the ways good players win advantageously is by out positioning their enemies. Not saying you cant win with a Yuumi in a ally champ all game, just it makes the typical gameplan more difficult.

Also wouldnt be surprised if Yuumi is capable of being one of the few champs that can actually "Disjoint" projectiles. Since this champion will disspear when whithin a champion. Like fizz's pole, how he phases out for a moment. This is probably where the trickery, and advantageous maneuver will probably be more relevant , by having the enemy expend resources and attention trying to focus the support, to only vanish, and dodge their CC/nukes by jumping into their carry, and providing the carry with some free space to progress.

As soon as I heard a cat support was coming out I knew I would instantly be picking her up as my main

sarii fox5 votes

All this lore and hype about teleportation and there's NO teleportation in her kit?! HELLO??

Darkyte2 votes

Yeah, I JUST made a post complaining about that :P. I think it handles how they couldve worked portals into her kit in a decent way ;k

DontBlameTheJG5 votes

So basically this is Rakan in cat form? Same passive, same Q with more effects, Yuumi W = Rakan E, need I continue?

The Last Ballad7 votes

I want aware that rakan's passive gave mana and only activated after autoing champs

Or that his q slows, didn't heal, and can be controlled via the cursor

Or that his e made him untargetable and allowed him to follow allied dashes, as well as boosting his ap and their main damage stat by a % of each others damage stat.

Strange considering hes my 3rd most played champ.

But yes, except for everything that is diffrent about how the abilities function, they are the same. On a related note, by this measure Morgana is Rakan but with more wings.

It's good to know Mina's back into the MOBA world. She's from a dead game, so saying she's stolen means nothing. Good on you guys for bringing her back. Just kinda wish Yuumi wasn't so 'cutesy'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80uGGBdG2FI

Champion Chrome3 votes

everyone is saying "she's so cute!" but I'm thinking that she's basically a parasite, attaching to a host to be healthy and cause them harm, even if there are some benefits.[sg-ahri-1]

She doesn't cause any harm though.

WeNeedCatGirls2 votes

does she count as a cat girl?

M00nKryzalid8248 votes

no. cat girls need to be mostly human looking. yuumi is a straight up cat.

SilenceWillFall2 votes

why is this downvoted? m00n is right.. lol

synyster3212 votes

How would nimbus cloak work while attached? Water walking while attatched? Or would it all just be negated unless you are unattached? Seems like the most likely answer.

Hyrule62m2 votes

Is it just me or does it seem like riot is running out of ideas??

Her passive is essentially xearaths and Rakans mixed Her q is also rakans except slows Her w is also rakans e? except becomes untargetable? Her e is a taric q except gains ms And her r is basically the same thing as ammumus?

Am I the only one seeing this?

Xienwolf2 votes

So what you are saying is that all of her abilities are new, but use existing code?

Sounds like a good plan. Her addition to the code base was the attaching mechanic. Add too much new code and bugs crop up far too easily.

Each remake or new champion typically has one thing that required writing new code, everything else is "this ability from one champ plus this ability from another?"

Hidden Flare2 votes

Is it me or is this champion almost like Mina from Dawngate?

Passive: Yuumi’s next attack...If Yuumi is Attached, the shield protects her ally...

W: ...While Attached... she can’t attack enemies...

???

Flashes2 votes

If you autoattack, then attach to an ally while you have the shield, the shield from your passive is then transferred to your ally.

Yásûø2 votes

So, what you are saying is... Build full AP and go mid? Gotcha. I'm more then ok to having infinite shields and mana in lane. Oh, and infinite sustain since you can E quite often with the charges and gain back the mana with passive. Yup she's my new mage mid.
