Quick Links
Yunara isLeague of Legends’newest champion, joining the Rift as aclassic ADC with a small twist. Likemost ADCs, she deals damage primarily with auto attacks and a ranged projectile ability, while being fairly immobile. However, what sets Yunara apart is that shedeals plenty of Magic Damage, especiallywhen she builds Crit. This makes her a good option when the rest of her team is mostly AD, and variety is needed.

Yunara’s Build In League Of Legends
Yunara Ability Max Order
Like the vast majority of champions, Yunara will want tomax her ultimate ability whenever possibleat levels 6, 11, and 16.
In terms of basic abilities, herQ is by far the most important for DPS. Her E and W can be maxed in any order, but as she is mostly immobile, any additions to her E can be helpful.
Yunara Runes
Yunara is all about ramping up in drawn-out fights, makingLethal Tempoideal for her as each attack increases her Attack Speed.Legend: Alacrityis also great for this reason. The last rune in the Precision tree can beCut Downagainst tanky teams orCoup De Graceagainst squishy teams.
Free boots and cookiesfrom theInspiration treesave money and help Yunara throughthe early laning phase, which can be rough.
Hail of Bladesis an alternative Keystone Rune, as the three rapid attacks it provides allow her to stack and use her Q much faster. However, it’s not as good in teamfights or for taking down tanks. OtherMinor Runes that work well for most ADCswill likely be good on Yunara, too.
Boots For Yunara
Like most ADCs who rely on attack speed,Berserker’s Greavesare always a good option. Due to Yunara dealing lots of Magic Damage, she also has the option ofSorcerer’s Shoes. These could work well against squishy teams.
Additionally, as with any champion, if the enemy team is full AD with lots of auto attackers, thenPlated Steelcapscan be preferable. The same goes forMercury’s Treadsagainst heavy Magic Damage and hard CC.
