Read from Tahm Kench's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yuumi.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tahm Kench | At 1 Yuumi has no CS to stop your Q-into-W threat on her ADC. |
| Level 2 | Tahm Kench | At 2 your engage all-in beats her heal-only, no-peel kit. |
| Level 3 | Tahm Kench | Level 3+ her dodgeable Q and speed-ups can't cancel your committed engage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Tahm Kench | Through 4-5 constant pull pressure keeps her carry pinned back. |
| Level 6 | Tahm Kench | Level-6 Devour hard-removes the carry her ult was meant to protect. |
| First item | Tahm Kench | First-item tankiness makes your lockdown threat something she can't itemize against. |
| Two+ items | Tahm Kench | Late, isolating her hyper-carry with W-Devour ends fights before heals matter. |
This is your lane to bully. Yuumi brings sustain but zero hard CS and no way to stop your engage, so at L1-2 you can Q (Tongue Lash) her ADC and follow with W (Abyssal Dive) to force ugly trades she can only heal, not prevent. Play up, threaten the pull constantly, and make her burn E (Zoomies) shields early. Every time her ADC steps to CS in your Q range they're in danger. She cannot be hit while attached, so run the count on their carry instead and the lane becomes a two-versus-one. Grey health covers whatever they poke back, and the stun plus your ADC's follow-up finishes the exchange before she can heal it away.
