Yuumi Support Build, Runes and Counters · Patch 26.20

the Magical Cat

Patch 26.20 · Stats from the 26.18 Master+ sample (2,494 games).

Yuumi, the Magical Cat, attaches to an ally with You and Me! and cannot be targeted by anything but turrets while she rides, and Final Chapter sends out waves that hurt enemies and heal allies. Summon Aery was on most counted Master+ Yuumis, and Ardent Censer opened both of her leading paths. Nautilus, Thresh and Alistar beat her most often — the engage supports that catch her carry.

Counter plan — how to beat Yuumi

  • Track the roam — it is strongest where the enemy jungler already is

  • Dodge the primary — its rotation is one skillshot; sidestep it and the rest is chip

  • Punish the cooldown — Yuumi 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 2/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

Ability details

  • P

    Feline Friendship

    Periodically, when Yuumi strikes a champion with an attack or ability, she restores health to herself and the next ally she Attaches to.While Attached, Yuumi generates a special bond with her allies. The ally with the strongest bond enhances Yuumi's abilities while she is Attached to them.

    Passive — never cast

  • Q

Yuumi balance history

Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Yuumi in 7 patches. The latest is patch 26.12, published 2026-06-09.

  1. Patch 26.122026-06-09

    PFeline Friendship

    • Heal Amount20 - 110 (+25% AP) (Levels 1 - 18)to20 - 110 (+30% AP) (Levels 1 - 18)

    EZoomies

    • Shield Amount65 / 90 / 115 / 140 / 165 (+30% AP)to65 / 90 / 115 / 140 / 165 (+40% AP)
    Why, in Riot's words

    As the only champion in the game with built in Heal/Shield power, Yuumi was hit hardest by the Moonstone Renewer mechanics changes in 26.09. We are giving her AP ratios a compensation buff to help keep enchanter items optimal for her.

  2. Patch 26.82026-04-14

    RFinal Chapter

    • Heal Per Wave30 / 40 / 50 (+10% AP)to30 / 50 / 70 (+12% AP)
    • Best Friend Enhanced Heal30% More Healingto30 - 60% More Healing (Levels 6 - 12)
    • Bugfix: The attached ally is no longer healed an additional time whenever Final Chapter heals another ally
    • Bugfix: Final Chapter's overhealing shield now takes into account Heal/Shield power as well as Grievous Wounds
    Why, in Riot's words

    We’re implementing a couple bugfixes to Yuumi’s ultimate, one of which will sometimes result in the magical cat outputting significantly more healing than she may have grown used to. As such, we’re throwing her a FISH by increasing her base healing and best friend healing to provide a stronger baseline effect.

  3. Patch 25.162025-08-12

    QProwling Projectile

    • Empowered Base Damage80 / 140 / 200 / 260 / 320 / 380to80 / 135 / 190 / 245 / 300 / 355

    WYou and Me!

    • Heal and Shield Power5 / 7.5 / 10 / 12.5 / 15%to4 / 5 /6 / 7 / 8%
    • Heal On-Hit3 / 5 / 7 / 9 / 11 (+ 4% AP)to3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 (+ 3% AP)
    Why, in Riot's words

    Yuumi has continued to be resilient to her recent nerfs, so we’re back to close the book on the cat. And by close the book, we really just mean nerf her to an appropriate power level by making her less of a late game eventuality.

  4. Patch 25.142025-07-15

    RFinal Chapter

    • Heal per Hit30 / 40 / 50 (+ 15% AP)to30 / 40 / 50 (+ 10% AP)
    Why, in Riot's words

    Yuumi's ban rate has been climbing recently, so we're making one small change to her ultimate so that its healing isn't quite so powerful.

  5. Patch 25.102025-05-13

    RFinal Chapter

    • Base Heal per Hit35 / 50 / 65to30 / 40 / 50
    Why, in Riot's words

    Yuumi is still one of the strongest enchanters in the game right now. We're looking to overall lower how reliably she can keep her team healed up especially in teamfights.

  6. Patch 25.082025-04-15

    PFeline Friendship

    • Heal25-110 (based on level) (+ 25% AP)to20-110 (based on level) (+ 25% AP)

    EZoomies

    • Shield80 / 105 / 130 / 155 / 180 (+ 30% AP)to65 / 90 / 115 / 140 / 165 (+ 30% AP)
    Why, in Riot's words

    Yuumi has risen up as one of the best supports recently, especially in higher skill brackets. As she's a little too dominant in the very early laning phase, we're tapping down her super early outputs to retain her weak laning identity reliant on scaling up.

  7. Patch 25.S1.22025-01-22

    PFeline Friendship

    • Heal25-110 (based on level) (+15% AP)to25-110 (based on level) (+25% AP)
    • Cooldown20-10 (based on level) (by level 11)to20-8 (based on level) (by level 13)

    RFinal Chapter

    • Damage75/100/125 (+20% AP)to75/125/175 (+25% AP)
    • Max Damage over 5 waves75-250 (+40% AP)to75-350 (+50% AP)
    Why, in Riot's words

    Yuumi is understandably a bit weaker in a world where her contemporaries get 5 free Armor, MR, or Ability Haste and she doesn't. As she's overall one of the weakest supports in the game, we're delivering some extra power. We're targeting her overall gold scaling to give her power focused on at-home play where supports gain a decent amount of gold on average.

Yuumi's story

A magical cat from Bandle City, Yuumi was once the familiar of a yordle enchantress, Norra. When her master mysteriously disappeared, Yuumi became the Keeper of Norra's sentient Book of Thresholds, traveling through portals in its pages to search for her. Yearning for affection, Yuumi seeks friendly companions to partner with on her journey, protecting them with luminous shields and fierce resolve. While Book strives to keep her on task, Yuumi is often drawn to worldly comforts, such as naps and fish. In the end, however, she always returns to her quest to find her friend.

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.
