LoL's First New Traditional Marksman in a While, Yunara, Is Implemented in Patch 25.14! The 171st New Champion

Yunara, the 171st new champion, has arrived in the hugely popular MOBA "League of Legends," developed and operated by Riot Games!
She was implemented as a powerful marksman in Patch 25.14, which was released on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, Japan Standard Time.

New Champion Yunara Implemented!

When the Eye is blinded and the Heart falters, the Fist must strike all the harder.

Yunara has a relatively simple design for a new champion and was designed to be a powerful marksman.
Despite her simple design, she is expected to be difficult to play.

Passive - Vow of the First Lands

"League of Legends" Official Website

Yunara’s Critical Strikes deal additional Magic damage.

Yunara can deal additional magic damage on critical hits.
Since she is one of the few marksmen who can effectively use a Zhonya's Hourglass for self-defense, she appears to be quite valuable.

Q - Cultivation of Spirit

"League of Legends" Official Website

Passive: Yunara’s Attacks deal additional magic damage on hit. Launching an attack causes Yunara to generate 1 Unleash, increased to 2 when attacking a champion. Not attacking causes Yunara to lose Unleash over time.
Active: Yunara unleashes her inner potential for a duration in which she gains: increased Attack Speed, her attacks deal additional magic damage on-hit and her attacks spread to nearby enemies dealing additional damage.

This Q ability can be activated by consuming stacks accumulated from basic attacks.
It seems this will be a versatile ability, similar to Ashe's Q, "Ranger's Focus."

W - Arc of Judgement / Arc of Ruin

"League of Legends" Official Website

Yunara lets rip a spinning prayer bead that slows down when near enemies and lingers and expands when it reaches its end point. The initial hit deals damage and applies a decaying slow on the target over a short duration. It deals additional damage to enemies in the area.
Transcendent State - Arc of Ruin: Yunara fires off a laser that deals damage and applies a decaying slow for a short duration.

This ability can deal damage and apply a slow from a distance, making it useful for escaping enemies.

Additionally, using her R ability, Transcend One’s Self, changes this ability to Arc of Ruin.
Since it becomes an AoE ability similar to Zeri's "Ultrashock Laser," it seems it will be effective in team fights.

E - Kanmei’s Steps / Untouchable Shadow

"League of Legends" Official Website

Yunara becomes Ghosted and gains Move Speed, increased when moving towards an enemy champion, that decays over a short duration.
Transcendent State: Yunara dashes in a direction.

This ability increases movement speed similar to Kai'Sa's E ability, "Supercharge."

When in the Transcendence state, activated by her R ability, you can pass through walls, so knowing when to use it for both offense and defense is crucial.

R - Transcend One’s Self

"League of Legends" Official Website

Yunara enters a Transcendent State for a period of time; Cultivation of Spirit is activated for the duration, Arc of Judgement is upgraded to Arc of Ruin and has its cooldown reduced, and Kanmei’s Steps is upgraded to Untouchable Shadow and has its cooldown refreshed.

This is a highly aggressive ability designed for all-ins.
The cooldown reset on her other abilities is a great benefit.

Yunara's Release Skin is Spirit Blossom!
