Their shields delay the chain by one link — start it anyway; the sun doesn't negotiate with insurance.
Track: Yuumi's W — You and Me!. Untargetable while attached — kill the host or catch the dismount windows.
Read from Leona's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yuumi.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Leona | Leona-favoured: Yuumi gives almost no level-1 lane presence, letting you freely set up your engage. |
| Level 2 | Leona | Leona-favoured: your level-2 E-Q chain kills a target Yuumi cannot peel for. |
| Level 3 | Leona | Leona-favoured: at 3 every Yuumi detach to poke is a free all-in opening for you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Leona | Leona-favoured: at 4-5 her lack of CC means your dives go unpunished. |
| Level 6 | Leona | Leona-favoured: your Solar Flare hard-locks a carry Yuumi has no way to disengage-save. |
| First item | Leona | Leona-favoured: first-item tankiness lets you dive through her weak poke and healing. |
| Two+ items | Leona | Leona-favoured: late-game your flank-and-R deletes her carry faster than she can re-attach. |
You crush levels 1-2 against a Yuumi lane. She offers almost no lane presence when her ADC needs to farm, and your Zenith Blade (E) into Shield of Daybreak (Q) can lock a target she cannot peel for. Look for the level-2 all-in the instant your ADC hits 2 — Yuumi has no CC to answer your chain. She offers almost nothing in lane while her carry needs protection, so the engage is a genuine kill every time it lands. Keep Eclipse for her ADC's damage rather than her poke. Hold the wave near your side, and let your carry follow the stun immediately rather than waiting.
