Read from Swain's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yuumi.
This is Swain's own plan; across 2,973 pooled games the lane is leaning Yuumi.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Swain | Yuumi has no CC or burst at level 1 so you freely Q her exposed ADC. |
| Level 2 | Swain | At 2 you keep punishing the attached duo while she can't threaten back. |
| Level 3 | Swain | Through level 3 your Q pressure and sustain out-grind her small heals. |
| Levels 4-5 | Swain | Levels 4-5 stay yours as Flock sustain beats her Zoomies top-offs. |
| Level 6 | Swain | At 6 your R drain out-sustains her heal-only kit in every long fight. |
| First item | Swain | First item DoT plus a landed E starts an all-in she has no CC to stop. |
| Two+ items | Swain | With two items your frontline reaches and deletes her carry past her heals. |
Levels 1-2 favour you because Yuumi brings no CC and no burst; when she's attached healing you simply step up and Q Death's Hand the ADC, and when she detaches to sling Q Prowling Projectile you threaten E Nevermove and out-trade her fragile body. She cannot be hit while attached, so root their carry instead and the lane becomes a two-versus-one. Stack the bolts on him the moment the pull lands, and let the fragments cover whatever she manages to heal back before your ADC finishes the exchange.
