Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades with proper weapon management and Thresh's engage potential, as Yunara lacks mobility and Karma's poke is manageable with positioning.
- Post-6 becomes more even as Yunara's R gives her sustained damage and mobility, making all-ins riskier without perfect coordination.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Calibrum to poke when Yunara steps up for CS, then follow Thresh's Q with Gravitum root for extended trades.
- Severum lifesteal helps sustain through Karma's poke while Infernum splash can hit both enemies during clustered fights.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early levels to establish range advantage and deny Yunara's Q stacking opportunities on minions.
- After 6, maintain wave in neutral position to avoid Yunara's enhanced W laser poke while keeping options for Thresh engages.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't underestimate Yunara's burst potential with crit builds - her passive magic damage on crits can surprise you even when she's behind.
- Avoid extended trades when she has Q active and multiple stacks, as her DPS ramps significantly.
