How to Play Yaria in HoK

• Early Game: In the early game, focus on supporting your lane partner and harassing enemies with your Wandering Beam. Use Verdant Protector to shield your ally during trades or when they’re under pressure. Remember to detach before the shield depletes to reduce cooldown. Stay close to your carry and help secure objectives like the river spirit or small jungle camps when possible.
• Mid Game: As the game progresses, your role becomes more crucial in teamfights. Use your Accelerating Blitz to deal continuous damage to nearby enemies while positioning yourself safely. The key to playing Yaria effectively is mastering the cooldown reduction mechanic of Verdant Protector. Attach to an ally, use your other skills, and then detach before the shield breaks to maximize your skill usage.
• Late Game: In late-game teamfights, your combo becomes vital. Use the 3-2-3-1-3-1 combo to provide maximum support and damage. Start by attaching to a frontline ally, use Accelerating Blitz, detach, and immediately reattach to another ally, use Wandering Beam, detach and reattach again, then finish with another Wandering Beam. This combo allows you to spread your shields and damage across multiple teammates while keeping your skills on low cooldowns.

When tower diving, don’t lead with Verdant Protector. Instead, actively attack enemies to draw tower aggro, then use Verdant Protector to gain invincibility. This tactic can surprise enemies and secure kills under the tower.

How to Counter Yaria in HoK

To counter Yaria, focus on her limited mobility when not attached to an ally. Use suppression effects, as her passive doesn’t protect against these. Bait out her Verdant Protector and engage when it’s on cooldown. Remember, Yaria is most vulnerable when she’s detached from allies. Furthermore, Yaria does not excel against heavy dive comp heroes due to a lack of cc.
