Yuumi Build
Best Build Guide for Yuumi
Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
Yuumi's passive revolves around detaching from your partner and poking and then attaching again. Spectral Sickle allows Yuumi to earn gold faster with this playstyle. Sapphire into Tear will mitigate the number of mana problems Yuumi faces during early lane skirmishes. (Tear MUST be upgraded into Archangel's Staff as soon as the stacks hit 700)
Building Imperial Mandate will allow Yuumi to heal more often from the ability haste gained from Mandate; and the extra kapow from its passive.
CDR boots are a must-have, as building any defensive boots will be rendered useless once attached to an ally. 68% of the time, the Enchant you'll be using is Protect
The Staff of Flowing Water further increases Yuumi's CDR. It can be swapped with Harmonic Echo in certain situations.
Typically, we want to build Deathcap last as it scales with Yuumi's TOTAL ability power, and then after that, a fully stacked Black Mist Scythe (Support item) can be sold for an extra item. This may likely happen during super late games (games over 26 minutes)
| Situational Changes | Situation Examples | Recommendation | Item/s to be Swapped |
| Healing/Vamp | Swain, Nunu, Soraka | Morellonomicon | Deathcap |
| Heavy CC | Veigar, Pyke, Nautilus | Veil Enchant | Protect Enchant |
| Assassins/ True Damage (Need More Healing) | Zed, Akali, Vayne | Harmonic Echo | Staff of Flowing Water |
Yuumi Runes
Best Runes for Yuumi
Rune Set 1
This is your standard rune path. Aery pads your buffs and pokes, Weakness allows Yuumi's Q/Ult to deal more damage, Loyalty is essential since Yuumi is useless without a lane partner, and Manaflow keeps Yuumi's blue bar with enough so you can do more. Pretty straightforward
Rune Set 2
Pretty much the same as the first one, just change Manaflow into pack hunter if you need the extra gold more than the mana. Scorch adds a small burn to enemies when poking, great for low health executes.
Rune Set 3
This one is a bit aggressive. Replace Weakness with Gathering Storm to focus on scaling to late game and Adaptive Carapace to make use of Yuumi's extra squishy nature.

Yuumi in a nutshell
Yuumi is the peak definition of a cat: They cling to you and annoy tf out of you while you are playing.
- Forget the memes. Yuumi is not an AFK champion. Stay active by poking, attaching to, and detaching from an ally. Poking allows Yuumi to generate her shield passive more often.
- Advantages matter. If you're new, you'll probably be confused about what advantages are, but in summary, advantages are things you have that your enemy doesn't. This could mean a gold lead, a level advantage, or even just range or vision. Yuumi relies on mind games and advantages. Never force a fight if your advantage is behind.
- ROAM. This is a controversial take. Yuumi needs an ally to survive but if it so happens that an ADC begins to struggle and fall off, create advantages for other allies. While the ADC will look for other ways to get ahead, you're building a bigger advantage with another ally.
- Remember what your champion does. Yuumi is squishy and is easily deletable with CC. Avoid CC and teamfights without advantage.
