A magical cat who rides her allies into battle, Yuumi is one of League of Legends' most beginner-friendly support champions. She excels at healing, shielding, and empowering her teammates while being protected through her unique attach mechanic.

Key Abilities Overview:

  • Passive (Fluffy Friendship): Heals Yuumi or attached ally when dealing damage to enemies
  • W (Paw in Hand): Attaches to allies, providing protection and enabling other abilities
  • Q (Cunning Projectiles): Guided missile that damages and slows enemies
  • E (Quick as a Flash): Provides healing, shield, attack speed, and movement speed
  • R (Final Chapter): Multiple waves that damage and slow enemies while healing allies

Ability Leveling Priority:

  1. R > Q > E > W
  2. Max Q first for poke damage and slow
  3. E second for stronger healing and shields
  4. W last as utility remains consistent

Core Itemization:

  1. Starting: Spellthief's Edge + 2 Health Potions
  2. Core Items:
    • Moonstone Renewer (healing amplification)
    • Ardent Censer (attack speed buff)
    • Staff of Flowing Water (ability power and movement speed)

Gameplay Tips:

  • Stay attached to your ADC during laning phase
  • Use Q to poke enemies safely while attached
  • Time W jumps carefully to avoid CC vulnerability
  • Save E for critical healing moments
  • Position R waves to maximize team fight impact

Key Strategy:

  1. Early Game: Focus on poking with Q while staying safe
  2. Mid Game: Rotate with your strongest ally
  3. Late Game: Enhance team fights with healing and ultimate

Warning: Yuumi becomes extremely vulnerable when detached, so careful positioning and timing of W is crucial for survival.
