Track: Yuumi's W — You and Me!. Untargetable while attached — kill the host or catch the dismount windows.
Read from Vel'Koz's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yuumi.
This is Vel'Koz's own plan; across 4,505 pooled games the lane is leaning Yuumi.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vel'Koz | Yuumi is nearly helpless at level 1 with no CC and a fragile detached body. |
| Level 2 | Vel'Koz | At level 2 your Q-E burst punishes her ADC before her heal can undo it. |
| Level 3 | Vel'Koz | Level 3 your triple-poke rotation out-damages her sustain on the carry. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vel'Koz | Through 4-5 you win the grind as she can't out-heal your percent poke. |
| Level 6 | Vel'Koz | Your level-6 ult out-ranges her and catches the stationary Final Chapter channel. |
| First item | Vel'Koz | First item scales your poke past her healing, bleeding the enemy ADC down. |
| Two+ items | Vel'Koz | Late you delete her carry from range and she has no peel to stop the all-in. |
Yuumi is defenseless in the L1-2 window, especially before she has her heal online. Focus your Q-E poke entirely on her ADC and force them off the wave, and if Yuumi detaches to Q you, punish her paper-thin body with your own Q. She has zero CC and no way to punish you, so you own the tempo. She cannot be hit while attached, so cycle everything onto their carry instead. Split the opener so both halves land on him, hold the knock-up for the moment he steps past the minion line, and watch the mana bar rather than chasing a target you cannot reach.
