Track: Yuumi's W — You and Me!. Untargetable while attached — kill the host or catch the dismount windows.
Read from Xerath's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yuumi.
This is Xerath's own plan; across 5,004 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Xerath | Level 1 Yuumi can't trade at your range, so you own the poke immediately. |
| Level 2 | Xerath | At level 2 every detach to cast leaves her exposed to your W-Q burst. |
| Level 3 | Xerath | Level 3 your sustained poke zones her carry off farm with no counterplay. |
| Levels 4-5 | Xerath | Through levels 4-5 she brings no disengage that threatens your artillery. |
| Level 6 | Xerath | Your level-6 ult snipes her carry before Final Chapter can matter. |
| First item | Xerath | First item burst lets you wreck the attached target through her shields. |
| Two+ items | Xerath | Late you deny her scaling by killing the carry, keeping you ahead. |
Yuumi has no answer to artillery: she can't attach-dodge your Arcanopulse forever, and every time she detaches to poke or last-hit you punish her with a full Q-W combo, so you dominate the poke war and can shove her carry off the wave. She cannot be hit while attached, so charge everything at their carry instead. Use the slow-zone on the ground he has to hold, keep the stun for the moment he steps past the minion line, and watch the mana bar rather than chasing a target you cannot reach.
