Yunara Champion Guide (Patch 25.14): Best Builds, Runes & Combos for LoL’s Newest ADC

on

🌸 Who Is Yunara? Lore & Champion Identity

Yunara, the Unbroken Faith, is League of Legends’ latest champion introduced in Patch 25.14. A mystical Ionian warrior and former protector of the Kinkou Order, Yunara sealed herself away to contain a cursed Darkin relic. Now reborn with transcendent spirit magic and devastating martial power, she enters the Rift as a late-game hyper-carry marksman.

  • Role: Bot-lane ADC

  • Style: Hybrid-damage, scaling DPS, precision-focused

  • Release Date: July 16, 2025 (Patch 25.14)

💥 Yunara’s Abilities Explained

Yunara’s kit rewards crisp positioning, auto-attack weaving, and perfect timing. Here's how each of her abilities works—and how to abuse them for max damage:

Passive – Vow of the First Lands

Critical strikes deal bonus magic damage, scaling with both Crit Chance and AP.

🔹 Why it matters: Shreds tanks and makes hybrid builds viable (crit + on-hit + AP).

Yunara Champion Guide - LoL Patch 25.14
Q – Cultivation of Spirit

Passive: Auto attacks grant Unleash stacks (max 8).
Active (at full stacks):

  • Bonus attack speed

  • On-hit magic damage

  • Splash damage

🌀 Synergy: During her ult (R), Q auto-activates at max stacks for free splashy burst.

W – Arc of Judgment / Arc of Ruin

Base: Fires a prayer bead that slows and deals AoE damage.
Transcended (R): Becomes a high-damage laser beam.

🧠 Use it to poke, zone, or clear waves—especially deadly post-6.

E – Kanmei’s Steps / Untouchable Shadow

Base: Grants decaying movement speed (increased toward enemies).
Transcended (R): Converts into a dash (can cross small terrain).

⚡ Great for both chasing kills and dodging skillshots.

R – Transcend One’s Self

Yunara enters a transcendent state for 15 seconds, empowering her basic abilities:

  • Q auto-activates

  • W turns into a beam

  • E becomes a dash

🔥 This is her teamfight moment—use it wisely to clean up or initiate.

⚔️ Yunara Combos & Gameplay Tips

Early Game (Laning)

  • Stack Q before trades: Don’t fight without at least 6–8 stacks.

  • Level 2 spike: Hit level 2 first (after 9 minions) → all-in with Q + W.

  • Play safe vs. CC: She’s vulnerable pre-6—hug your turret if enemy has engage.

Mid & Late Game (Teamfights)

  • Ult Timing = Win: Press R at the start of fights to enable Q splashes, laser poke, and repositioning dash.

  • Stay backline: She deals damage like Jinx or Kai’Sa—don’t frontline.

  • Watch for clumps: Her splash Qs punish grouped enemies hard.

Basic Combos

  • Full Trade (Pre-6): Auto → stack Q → W slow → full Q activate

  • All-in (Post-6): R → auto + Q splashes → W beam → E dash (for gap close or reposition)

🤼 Matchups: Counters & Synergies

❌ Weak Against

  • Draven, Samira, Lucian – Early lane bullies

  • Nautilus, Leona, Blitzcrank – Engage + CC wrecks her before R

✅ Strong With

  • Lulu, Janna, Milio – Shield + peel + AS buff

  • Nautilus, Thresh – Engage supports who can set up easy trades

🌺 Arena Augment Synergy (Patch 25.14)

If you’re taking Yunara into Arena, look out for her special augment: Quest – Three Sacred Treasures.

Equipping Infinity Edge, Hextech Gunblade, and Perplexity fires beams that apply on-hits twice and deal bonus damage. An absolute beam-blasting menace when built correctly!

🎭 Spirit Blossom Skins & Koeshin Courtyard Event

Yunara joins the 2025 Spirit Blossom skin line, with a soft pink celestial glow. Participate in the Koeshin Courtyard event to earn petals, unlock spirit upgrades, and discover exclusive lore through a visual-novel-style campaign.

🧠 Final Thoughts – Is Yunara Worth Learning?

Absolutely. Yunara is:
✔ High skill ceiling
✔ Rewarding for good positioning
✔ Capable of melting teams with a single well-timed ult

If you love champions like Jinx, Kai’Sa, or Aphelios, you’ll feel right at home. But expect a learning curve—her kit demands finesse, not brute force.
