Yuumi vs Tahm Kench

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Prioritize attaching to your ADC to maximize sustain and poke through (Q) and (E).
Deny Tahm Kench's engage by controlling bot-side brush and maintaining vision in river fog.
Use (R) to lock down fights when your ADC can follow up on Tahm Kench's limited mobility.

Trading pattern

Stay attached to your ADC to provide speed and healing during short trades and kite windows.
Hold (R) root for extended chases or to punish (R) engage or peel attempts.
Deny Tahm Kench brush access to reduce his hook angle and force him into less effective trades.

Danger windows

Respect Tahm Kench's 3-stack (Q) stun window; avoid stepping into brush without vision or ADC peel.
Beware of (R) cooldown; your ADC is vulnerable during his all-in or peel.
(W) knockup can disrupt positioning; avoid detaching when it is available and off cooldown.

Early game

Track level 2 closely to enable safe sustain trades with your ADC using (Q) and (E).
Hold brush control to prevent Tahm Kench from stacking (Q) and setting up stuns.
Avoid detaching near Tahm Kench's engage cooldowns to protect your ADC from (Q) stun and (R).

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (Q) and (E) for sustain and poke; use this to support safe ADC trades.
Level 6 (R) enables strong teamfight control; coordinate with ADC for follow-up on root paths.
Your ADC's item breakpoints amplify your healing and poke; maintain lane safety until then.

Win conditions

Convert lane sustain into extended fights where your (R) root enables ADC follow-up and pick potential.
Deny Tahm Kench brush control and vision to reduce his engage angles and protect your ADC access.
Use wave crashes and vision control to set up safe roams and dragon objectives with your ADC.
