How to Play Prodigy Yuumi

How to Play Prodigy Yuumi

Overview

There are a lot of AP options in Set 15, which means leaning towards Battle Academy Prodigy Yuumi will give you some options to pivot away if it ends up being contested. That said, even when contested, this is still going to be one of the strongest comps you can play.

When to Play

  • The easiest early game comp to hit is Ezreal, Syndra, Garen, Rell, and one more Battle Academy unit (usually Rakan). Hitting even a couple of these units early can justify your decision to lean towards Yuumi.

  • You hit a good Prodigy augment

  • You have a rod and don't know what else to play.

How to Play

  • This is a comp that aims to play the strongest possible board early on and rush to level 8 on 4-2 before rolling down. It center's around Yuumi and Malzahar being your primary carries while Leona is your main tank.

  • In the early game, you want to use your Power Up (tier list here) on either Ezreal or Syndra, depending on who you hit first. You can also use it on Garen or Rell if you have items on them. The goal is to reach 3 Battle Academy while slowly adding in more of them or more Prodigy units as you level up.

  • Power Ups always go on Yuumi and Leona once you 2-star them, but you can use the fruits on Malzahar, K'Sante, or even Rakan before that.

  • If you hit Seraphine early, you can drop Rakan or K'Sante to play her. It's generally not worth moving items onto her -- Malzahar will be more consistent with items. You can hold extra copies of Malzahar to go for 3-stars if you're uncontested.

  • If you hit a Prodigy Emblem, you can drop Syndra for either Mentor (Ryze) or any 2-star legendary like Zyra.

  • If you hit Battle Academy emblem, and you're able to flex in 7 early in the game, you can lean more towards this as well (Drop K'Sante for Jayce).

  • You want to follow the standard leveling curve, which you can read more in depth about here.
