Statistical Matchup Analysis

Yunara dominates the meta (3rd most popular, 16.7% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Xayah (4.4% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of bot lane's current powerhouses. Meta strength confirmed: Yunara's superior tier rating (B+ vs B) translates into a solid 51.4% matchup win rate. This performance explains why Yunara ranks 22nd in win rate among ADC champions. Optimize for consistency: Lethal Tempo paired with Triumph (64.4% win rate, 1.1% popularity) provides the stats you need, while the item sequence Yun Tal Wildarrows > Infinity Edge > Runaan's Hurricane with Berserker's Greaves delivers 79.7% win rate against Xayah.

Lane dominance: Yunara not only wins the matchup but crushes CS (8.01/min vs 7.30 for Xayah). This 0.71 CS/min advantage generates significant gold leads that compound your already favorable position. Quality over quantity: Yunara wins through smart play rather than raw damage - despite lower DPS (768 vs 902/min), the 51.4% win rate shows superior utility, positioning, and team fight impact. Intriguing anomaly: Yunara wins the matchup (51.4%) despite a lower KDA (2.30 vs 2.40). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.

How to Beat Xayah as Yunara (ADC)

While statistically Yunara is slightly stronger than Xayah as ADC, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Except for rare builds, Yunara deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Xayah deals mainly physical damage (95.05%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Yunara is higher farming statistics (ranked 2nd among role champions) (versus 8th for Xayah), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.4 versus 2.3) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Yunara ADC versus Xayah ADC matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Yunara player to maintain constant pressure on Xayah, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
