Attached-scaling enchantment build: Yuumi does not create value through physical presence, but through the quality of the carrier she transforms. The build must therefore amplify the right allied anchor, smooth its timings, and avoid decorative purchases that improve no real duo.
Three builds, one right answer per draft. The advisor reads the five enemies (and your allies) and names who triggers what — the same rule as the Draft MVP sheet and Ask Nexus.

Same advisor in the Draft (the MVP sheet applies it to your real draft) and in Ask Nexus, which explains the choice. On counters pages: the variant to take against each counter-pick.
Foundational item core, without recent situational additions — kept as a base for understanding the kit. For the up-to-date build, see the section above.
Yuumi generates value indirectly. The build maximizes buffs, healing and uptime.

While attached, every poke Q and heal E sends Aery — she works while you ride.
Strengthens R Final Chapter (multiple waves) to healing and damage amplified.
Haste multiplies E and Q casts — your value per fight is your spell count.
The burn rides your guided Q — poke from the saddle actually stings.
Amplifies heals W and shields R Final Chapter for save the linked ally.
Level 5 gives Yuumi her first real ability to turn a rotation into a kill or objective. Her ultimate should not be cast just to “deal damage”: it is mainly used to block a path, force Flash, or let her host keep moving forward without being instantly punished.
