Yunara lands with patch 7.2b as a dual-threat hybrid marksman: her critical strikes deal bonus magic damage, making classic defensive itemization ineffective against her.
Yunara is a hypercarry markswoman of the Dragon Lane in Wild Rift, a disciple of the Kanmei who arrived with patch 7.2 and the first ADC with a hybrid damage profile: her passive converts every critical strike into bonus magic damage, making classic defensive itemization ineffective against her. Her kit alternates between two states — out of Trance she kites with a slowing bead and ghostly swiftness; in Trance her W becomes a piercing beam and her E a repositioning dash. She excels in front-to-back compositions that protect their carry until her three core items. In Wild Rift, Trance tempo management — triggering it to open a fight, never in reaction — separates average Yunaras from unplayable ones.
Yunara asks for time synergies: any ally who buys her seconds of DPS — anti-dive polymorph, slows, shields during Trance — converts them directly into damage. Attack-speed enchanters feed her hybrid passive, and frontlines that stretch fights play exactly at her tempo.
Yunara is not countered by resistances — her hybrid passive works around them — but by tempo. Lane bullies crush her levels 1-5, reset all-ins exploit her total lack of crowd control, and the windows between two Trances are her weakest version. Effective counters compress fights into moments where she cannot answer.
Yunara's value comes from sustained DPS, not burst: every second of clean kiting is worth more than a risky mechanic. Her real hidden skill is Trance tempo management — called, synced with the team's engage, prepared — and the discipline of keeping E outside Trance as her only life insurance.

§ 02 — Strengths & weaknesses Yunara Wild Rift strengths and weaknesses
- Avoid her into a Draven, Lucian or Tristana kill lane without a defensive support.
- Avoid her if the enemy already has two dedicated dive or assassination threats.
- Avoid her if your comp has no peel and no frontline: she doesn't survive alone.
- Avoid her in comps that need to close before 15 minutes.

Patient laning phase: Yunara farms well thanks to Q bounces but doesn't win early all-ins. Look for short trades around Q and let your support create the openings.

First big spike at Guinsoo + Runaan's: teamfights around Dragon become your power zone. Use the trance on contested objectives, not on isolated picks.

Classic hypercarry: position behind your frontline and release the trance at the right moment. A team that protects you for 5 seconds wins the fight.
§ 07b — Advanced MechanicsYunara: combos & tips Wild Rift
Stack Unleash on minions before the trade, activate the 1 on contact, land 2-3 empowered AAs then disengage with the slow from the 2; coordinate with your support for a level 2 all-in
Use the 3 BEFORE the ultimate: the Transcendent state refreshes its cooldown, giving you two mobility casts in the same fight (approach MS + repositioning dash)
The bead slows the chaser, the 3 gives you the speed to keep your distance, and the AAs maintain your Unleash stacks during the retreat
During the Transcendent state, the cooldown of the 2 is reduced: two lasers can fire within the same window to zone an objective or poke before a fight
§ 08 — DialoguesYunara Wild Rift FAQ
Q.01 Is Yunara an AD or AP champion in Wild Rift? +
Both: she builds classic AD/crit items, but her passive converts critical strikes into bonus magic damage. That's why a single resistance isn't enough to counter her.
Q.02 What is the best Yunara build in 7.2? +
Guinsoo's Rageblade → Runaan's Hurricane → Infinity Edge, with Lethal Tempo as keystone. Terminus or Wit's End fourth depending on the enemy comp. Launch build, refined with the first ranked data.
Q.03 How do you counter Yunara? +
Punish her weak laning phase with an aggressive duo (Draven, Lucian, Tristana), assign an assassin to her in fights, and force combat right after her Transcendence — her most vulnerable window.
