Yunara is the 171st champion added to League of Legends. She is a traditional auto-attack-based Attack Damage Carry from the Ionian region. She links heavily to the Wyldbloom, found all around Ionia and on the Summoner’s Rift. Her kit is simple to understand, but there are some aspects that, if mastered, will help you ascend to the top. She enters the rift in Patch 25.14.
