Welcome to today’s blog post where we will be discussing the popular Yuumi Jinx deck in Legends of Runeterra. This deck is an extension of the Yuumi Teemo deck and has gained significant popularity in recent weeks. After experimenting with the Teemo deck, it was found that Teemo is not as crucial as Yuumi in achieving strong gameplay. Here are some key points about the Yuumi Jinx deck:
- Teemo’s role: While Teemo does provide some value with his elusive attacks and puff cap damage, he is ultimately not necessary for the deck’s success.
- Importance of Yuumi: The strength of the deck lies in Yuumi coming down and creating one exceptionally strong elusive unit. Having access to two elusives allows for maximum value out of the Heroic Refrains, essentially turning them into four-damaged burn spells.
- Addition of Jinx: The Yuumi Jinx deck addresses a common issue with the Teemo version, which is lacking high-powered late-game options. Jinx brings an insurmountable amount of late game with her Super Mega Death Rockets, dealing three damage of burn every turn while also drawing an extra card.
- Introduction of Mecha-Pulverizer: To enhance gameplay, the Mecha-Pulverizer is added to the deck. While it may not provide the growing stats of Yuumi, it offers a healthy stat line and serves as Yuumi’s “number four and five.”
- Focus on quality over quantity: Instead of creating boards with multiple weaker elusives, the aim is to generate two strong elusives on the board. This ensures optimal bonus from the heroic refrain spell.
- Unit selection: The deck includes all the good elusives, with the addition of Daring Poro. In place of Byrd, the Bell Ringer commonly seen in Teemo Yuumi decks, Yordle Squires are used. The Yordle Squire provides more value and action by not only blocking and trading but also giving the option to attach a spear onto an elusive unit. Additionally, it serves as discard fodder for Blowbacks, Rummages, and Electro-harpoons.
In conclusion, the Yuumi Jinx deck offers a powerful and strategic gameplay experience in Legends of Runeterra. By focusing on Yuumi’s strengths and incorporating Jinx and Mecha-Pulverizer, the deck ensures late-game dominance and maximizes the value of heroic refrains. With careful unit selection, players can create strong boards and effectively use the deck’s discard mechanics.
