Abilities (What to Watch For)

|---|---|---|
| Purple magic damage numbers on critical strikes | Her crits deal bonus magic damage via , making her very difficult to itemize against with just Armor. | |
| Spirit energy around her weapons | Grants her massive attack speed and causes her attacks to splash. Stand away from your minions to avoid the collateral damage. | |
| A thrown prayer bead (Normal) or a long-range beam (Transcendent) | Her main tool for catching you. Getting hit by slows you significantly, allowing her to stack safely. | |
| Ghostly movement trail (Normal) or a quick dash (Transcendent) | In her base form, is just a move speed buff. Once she uses , it becomes a dash that can be used to dodge skillshots or chase. | |

Respect
- !The power spike→She gains a dash on and a laser on , making her much harder to kite or catch.
- !Grouped splash damage→The splash from deals significant damage. If you and your support stand together, you both take full damage.
- !Hybrid scaling→Because converts crit scaling into magic damage, traditional armor items like Thornmail are less effective.
- !laser range→While in her Transcendent State, her has very long range and can slow you from across the screen.
Punish
- +is on cooldown→Without her ultimate, she has no dash and less utility. This is the best time to hard-engage or gank her.
- +has been used in lane→In her base form, is her only escape. If she uses it to reposition, she is highly vulnerable to being run down.
- +Early game before crit items→ requires crit to deal relevant magic damage. Pressure her early before she completes her first core item.
- +Missed bead→The slow on is her only way to keep you at a distance. If she misses, she cannot easily kite your all-in.
Laning Tips
- •Avoid standing behind low-health minions as her splash will poke you for free.
- •Her base does not allow her to cross walls, so use terrain to trap her during ganks.
- •Check her items frequently; if she is building pure crit, you must start building Magic Resist for .
- •Bait out the bead by walking forward and immediately tethering back to waste her cooldown.
- •Most Yunara players will lead with into for a surprise dash; stay at max range when her ult is up.
- •If she activates , back off for 3-4 seconds until the attack speed buff expires to win the trade.
Teamfight Warning
- ⚠Spread out to minimize the effectiveness of her splash damage in tight corridors.
- ⚠Watch for the laser wind-up from fog of war during her Transcendent State.
- ⚠Focus her immediately after she uses the dash, as she will be stationary for a moment.
- ⚠Tanks must build a mix of Armor and Magic Resist or will shred them regardless of their health pool.
- ⚠Save hard CC specifically for her window to waste her transformation duration.
