Yunara Build, Runes and Counters — Bot Lane · Patch 26.20

the Unbroken Faith

Patch 26.20 · Stats from the 26.18 Master+ sample (14,604 games).

Yunara, the Unbroken Faith, upgrades her basic abilities in the Transcendent State of Transcend One's Self. She is the most-counted champion in our Master+ sample, a bot laner on Lethal Tempo in virtually every game, building AD on-hit: Kraken Slayer or Yun Tal Wildarrows, then Runaan's Hurricane. Tristana, Kog'Maw and Syndra beat her most often. Against Kai'Sa she was favored. Jinx and Caitlyn were close to even.

Counter plan — how to beat Yunara

  • Close the gap early — it wins at range and at three items — neither before ten minutes

  • Punish the cooldown — Yunara is exposed while its rotation is down

  • Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one

  • Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 4/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

  • Trade on your terms — take the fight where its damage lands on nobody

Yunara balance history

Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Yunara in 6 patches. The latest is patch 26.20, published 2026-10-06.

  1. Patch 26.202026-10-06

    QCultivation of Spirit

    • Passive On Hit Damage5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 (+20% AP)to3 / 8 / 13 / 18 / 23 (+20% AP)
    • Active On Hit Damage5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 (+20% AP)to3 / 8 / 13 / 18 / 23 (+20% AP)

    WArc of Judgement

    • Slow StackingStacks with other slowstoNo longer stacks with other slows
    Why, in Riot's words

    Yunara is the leading candidate for "handshake hyperscaler do nothing" and we want to avoid that becoming the dominant meta, especially heading into worlds.

  2. Patch 26.142026-07-14

    Base Stats

    • Attack Damage Growth2.5to3
    Why, in Riot's words

    Yunara's spirit is waning a little. So we're giving her a little more scaling power to help find more balance later in the game.

  3. Patch 26.12026-01-07

    QCultivation of Spirit

    • Attack Speed25/35/45/55/65%to20/30/40/50/60%

    >R+W - Arc of Ruin

    • Damage175/350/525 (+ 150% bonus AD)to160/320/480 (+ 120% bonus AD)
    Why, in Riot's words

    Yunara has a crit build and an on-hit build, but even her on-hit build almost always picks up Hurricane, so she's getting stronger no matter what she does next season. We're looking for nerfs that will skew more toward low-Attack Speed high-AD crit builds, as they'll be more directly buffed by the global crit damage increase.

  4. Patch 25.212025-10-21

    WArc of Judgment

    • Initial Damage5 / 30 / 55 / 80 / 105 (+ 85% Total AD)to55 / 95 / 135 / 175 / 215 (+ 85% Bonus AD)
    • Damage per second5 / 20 / 35 / 50 / 65 (+ 40% Total AD)to33 / 57 / 81 / 105 / 129 (+ 51% Bonus AD)

    • Movement Speed30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50% decaying over 1.5 secondsto30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50% decaying after 1.5 seconds
    • Movement Speed toward Enemies45 / 52.5 / 60 / 67.5 / 75% decaying over 1.5 secondsto45 / 52.5 / 60 / 67.5 / 75% decaying after 1.5 seconds
    • Cooldown7.5to9
    • Step Right: Fixed a bug where Yunara could retain the enhanced movement speed without facing any enemy champions
    Why, in Riot's words

    We're here to buff Yunara today. As she's still relatively new, over two thirds of her games are played by inexperienced players, substantially dragging down her win rate. But even after accounting for that fact, she's still weaker than the average bot laner. We want to achieve two goals here: First, we want to improve the value of ability ranks in W so that players who invest in spell damage are rewarded for their skill points. Second, we want to make her more consistently mobile, bringing up Kanmei's Steps average movement speed so that players don't have to hold it just to juke a key skillshot and instead can take more proactive and aggressive fights.

  5. Patch 25.182025-09-09

    Base Stats

    • Base Health600to575
    • Base AD56to53

    EKanmei's Steps

    • Bonus Movement Speed50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70%to30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50%
    • Movement Speed Duration1.5 / 1.75 / 2 / 2.25 / 2.5to1.5 seconds at all ranks
    Why, in Riot's words

    Yunara has quickly risen to be the strongest marksman in the game accounting for mastery while also seeing high pick/ban priority in professional play (especially in China and Korea). In this patch we're looking to nerf her across the board, ideally lowering her priority in professional play, which should also lower her ban rate in higher levels of play as well.

  6. Patch 25.172025-08-26

    QCultivation of Spirit

    • Fixed a bug where sometimes the bounce could trigger multiple stacks per bounce for some items. It's intended for Yunara to build 1 stack per bounce.
    • Fixed an issue where sometimes items would fail to do damage on Q bounces in situations where a significant number of bounces were taking place. (The poros on the calculators behind the scenes are ready now)
    • Fixed an issue where items like Runnan's Hurricane were dealing full on-hit damage when bouncing from the secondary target to the primary target, triggering the full-on hit value multiple times in a single auto.
    • Fixed an issue where Runnan's Hurricane bolts were having their on-hit damage reduced incorrectly and will now apply the full on-hit damage correctly.
    Why, in Riot's words

    As players have gotten better at her, Yunara has risen to be one of the most potent ADCs in the game. We've got several bug fixes in this patch that we expect will nerf her popular Kraken Slayer + Hurricane build. We'll continue to keep an eye on her performance metrics to see how she lands after these changes.

Yunara's story

Unwavering in her devotion to Ionia, Yunara has spent centuries cloistered away in the spirit realm honing her skills with the Aion Er'na, a legendary Kinkou relic. Despite all she has sacrificed, Yunara's vow to rid the land of disharmony and strife remains unbroken, as does her faith. But the world that now awaits her—and the shadow of an ancient threat risen once more—will test every ounce of her resolve.

Methodology

Data window
Preview sample — a one-time snapshot of 65,406 ranked games (Master+, EUW/KR/NA, patch 26.18), counted by GamGem while our Riot production key is under review. Figures will update daily once it is approved. Counted 26–27 Sept 2026; patches 26.18 (35,477) · 26.19 (18,580) · 26.17 (11,048) · 26.16 (293) · 26.15 (8); by server EUW 22,382 · KR 21,922 · NA 21,065 · EUNE 20 · TR 17. 642 games without a result — remakes ended by vote in their first minutes, and games recorded with no winner — were not counted.
Rank aggregation
Master, Grandmaster and Challenger, pooled — the three ladders the count read its players from. Splitting further leaves samples too small to separate a real effect from noise.
Role assignment
A champion is filed under every lane that holds at least a tenth of its counted games — the position the match itself reports, not the champion’s class. Its headline win rate is across all of them; each lane’s own win rate and games are counted too, and a lane’s tier list ranks by them.
Counters
The two champions in the same position on opposite teams, over that pairing’s own counted games — ranked on the edge pulled toward zero by its sample size, printed raw.
Minimum sample
None — no figure is hidden for being thin. Every rate prints its games, and the confidence band is its 95% margin: Very High within ±1.5 points, High ±2.5, Moderate ±3.1 (1,000 games), Low wider.
Why a build is not a cause
An item is counted when the match ENDS with it, so late items show long games and an item bought when already ahead shows games that were being won. Correlation is what a rate can show; it is not evidence that buying the item caused the win.
Where the numbers come from
Names, classes, abilities, items and runes are Riot Data Dragon. Win, pick and ban rates, builds, keystones, spells and matchups are counted by GamGem from Riot's ranked match records. An estimate, not a count: this panel is not in the preview sample, and is labelled so.
