Riot has unveiled the first teaser for the new supporter Yuumi. A magical book plays an important role. Leaks of the new LoL (League of Legends) champion’s abilities have also emerged.
What’s new? The first official trailer for Yuumi in League of Legends was released on April 25th. Under the title “Book of Thresholds,” you can find the video.
In the trailer, a voice speaks with the book. At the beginning, the voice says it does not need guidance, but the book has been given the task. An animation of a teleportation is shown.
The voice asks the book if they can “go back.” Upon receiving the negative reaction from the book, it reacts sadly.
Together, the two “ladies” search and turn to a new page in the book. Although the sought-after lady is not found on the page, the voice tells the book to remember the page, as there are many fish. Are the ladies and the desire for fish a reference to the champion’s possible cat form?
That the book plays an important role was already hinted at in the first teasers.
A YouTube thumbnail also leaked the appearance of the champion. It appears to be a small cute cat flying on a magical book.
Update: The new trailer confirms Yuumi’s appearance as a kitten:
Leaks on the abilities
What has been leaked? A Discord screenshot circulating on social media allegedly describes Yuumi’s abilities. This has not been officially confirmed yet.
We summarize the leaked abilities here for you:
- Passive: After a certain charging time, the next auto-attack deals extra magic damage and slows the target.
- Q: A skill shot that deals magic damage. If the ability is in the air for at least one second, it deals extra damage and slows the target. The spell cannot pierce minions. While in the W ability form, the skill shot follows the mouse pointer and can be controlled that way.
- W: You jump to an ally and become untargetable. This buffs the allied champion you are tethered to. The connection only breaks when the allied champion dies or you activate W again to “free” yourself. During this time, you are untargetable, automatically follow the linked champion, and can use all abilities.
- E: A healing spell with 2 charges. If you use it, you heal yourself. If you use it in W form, you also heal the linked champion.
- R: Throws 7 waves that deal area damage and root targets hit if they are struck by at least 3 waves. The waves automatically fly in the direction you are looking after activation. While the ulti is active, you can use all other abilities.
Whether the abilities will be implemented in the game as leaked remains unclear. Yuumi is not yet on the test servers.
