Tips & Tricks
- Archangel is Yuumi’s best item. The crit based build with JG + Striker’s is still good, but after the nerf to Striker’s, the Archangel Gunblade JG build is better.
- Seraphine can take whatever leftover junk you have. You can throw almost any items onto her and they will be useful in most cases, so prioritize getting optimal items on Yuumi and Malzahar over Seraphine
- Build proper tank items on Leona. Avoid building items like Sunfire or Ionic Spark on her if possible because she receives a lot of healing from Prodigy and Gunblade. The extra healing she receives is more effective the higher her durability and resistances are.
- If you get Innervating Locket, you don’t need Garen 3. Garen 2 is enough to abuse the item. Make sure to play Battle Academia with Garen as soon as possible to farm stacks.

Economy Strategy
- Level to 4 if you have upgrades and a good item to place on one of those upgrades.
- Level to 5, unless on 3 loss streak.
- Level to 6 if on 4+ win streak (scout to see if necessary in high elo) or can stay above 40g.
- Level to 6, unless you would go below 30g. If you have to stay level 5 due to low gold (rare), then level to 6 on 3-5.
- Level to 7 if you can stay above 30g, otherwise stay level 6.
- Level to 7.
- Level to 8. Roll for desired comp until stable. “Stable” changes depending on rank, items, augments, composition, and patch. Melee carries and tanks get the biggest spike for 2-stars. Usually stable involves 2-star tank or carry and some other supporting 2-stars. Try not to roll below 10g.
- If you are weak (e.g., have no 2-star 4-costs), consider rolling again to 10g here. If you are stable, save gold to go 9.
- If you are low HP and haven’t 2-starred your carry and tank, roll to 0g. If you have medium to high HP with an upgraded + itemized 4-cost unit and some other upgrades, save gold to go 9.
- If high HP, consider waiting until 5-5 to go level 9. If medium HP, consider going level 9 if you can roll 20g or wait until 5-5. If low HP and can afford to go 9, do so even if you have almost no gold to roll on 9. If you can’t afford to go 9 this game, roll every turn for upgrades.
- Level to 9 if possible. From this point onward, look to level to 9. Acknowledge games where level 9 is not possible and roll every turn on 8 to preserve placements.
- For max cap games, you can either roll on 9 or level to 10. If you are itemizing a 5-cost carry and it is 1-starred, roll on 9. If you have all your main itemized units upgraded, level to 10.
Manazane is not +3 conditions this patch yuumi tickles after the nerfs
Prodigies found dead in a ditch for Patch 15.4!! Maybe Malz + Rammus Reroll will be better?
Just played comp with Innervating Locket + 2x Gargoyl on Garen with Regenerative fruit and Garen almost immortal even with 2 star…
To me this comp is best for this meta. So thank you admin for all your efforts and time spent.
Does anyone know if you hit an early Seraphine if it’s stronger to play 4 Protector or 5 Prodigy on 8?
just replace syndra with seraphine till level 9
4 Protectors? Do you mean 2?
Imo having both K’Sante and Leona to tank is better to make Yuumi scale higher
Just do what the other guy said, replace Syndra with Seraphine
shouldnt titans be op on garen with locket instead of one gargoyle so he cant be cced to death?
Just tried it with prodigy Isakai with radiant gloves and it was absolutely broken, even before I got to Yummi 2. Didn’t lose a single match
Zhonya’s very definitely deserves to be on here, saw Souless play it on stream yesterday winning out, tested it 3 times today on EUW GM, made top 2 everytime.
Agreed, added.
Comp feels so bad even when you hit Leona and Yuumi 2, I genuinely don’t get how people win with this?
It’s more of a top 4 comp tbh; every time I giga-cap this board (manazane + wand overflow + prodigy emblem + 2 star full board + 3 item Yuumi, Zyra, Leona, Malz), it just loses to Star Guardians.
Maybe I’m just cheeks but went 7th I got IS on Yuumi and bullet hell maybe my frontline just couldn’t stay alive enough but compared to other people my Yuumi just couldn’t break through :(. Only one game though so I’ll see how it goes moving forward.
Prioritize tank items after Yuumi’s core items to make her scale
Zero items Seraphine and 1-2 support items Malzahar is mostly fine
Cooking Pot Garen 2> Leona 2> Ksante 2, you can also just make it into Prodigy spat
seraphine is the difference maker between 1st and 2nd, with completely random items if she casts twice its almost guaranteed win, its better than any combat augment or items
can’t hit Yuumis 50% of the time because some fkwad is contesting battle academia 7 so cringe
Does the classy power up active when it just only one trait that has activated?
No. So for Yuumi you need at least 2 Prodigy for Classy to have any effect.
What are Yuumis best items when you get prismatic wand overflow? Double rabadons +1? I am so lost on item distribution when i get that augment.
For Yuumi, you can make gunblade, JG, and rabadon/archangel. You could also make crownguard for Leona, or morello for Malzahar. Lots of good rod items for this comp, but don’t take this augment if you can’t make any items right away.
Is supergenius OP with Blighting jewel malzahar? Felt super good with all the prodigies
I had Ludens on Yuumi with strikers and a jewelled gauntlet, she did more damage than my 3-star bis malz with shadow clone. Not sure how good stat wise it is, but I saw it do a lot of damage and got me a first.
why does yuumi have blue buff listed here but not in battle academia where theres less prodigy’s?
She shouldn’t have, I thought the builds had sync’d, but they didn’t. Thanks.
thanks for all you do, sorry for if that came off rude. i just use this site religiously and notice the small things sometimes haha
You didn’t come off as rude, no worries! I like comments like these because they keep the site more accurate long-term, part of the value of having comments. There is a lot to keep up to date, easy for some things to get missed so having a community that catches those things is helpful.
katerina dark amulet is a problem. literally outscaled the 4 mentors alone
is it bad to play voidstaff with blighting jewel together?
yuumi bis is no mana gen (blue buff/shojin)
piercing sight is really good
