The Magical Cat: Yuumi Champion Guide for Beginners
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:
- R > Q > E > W
- Max Q first for poke damage and slow
- E second for stronger healing and shields
- W last as utility remains consistent

Gameplay Tips:
- Stay attached to your ADC during laning phase

- Time W jumps carefully to avoid CC vulnerability
- Save E for critical healing moments
- Position R waves to maximize team fight impact
Key Strategy:
- Early Game: Focus on poking with Q while staying safe
