Yunara Scaling: Grade B
Reasonably well, with conditions. Yunara keeps real value at full build. Grade B, Okay late, in The Scaling Codex.
Reviewed for League of Legends Season 16 (2026).
Verdict. Her crits add bonus magic damage and her Transcendent form brings a powerful slowing beam. The curve trends up over time, but a 50 percent absolute late win rate does not yet make her a premier A-tier endgame marksman. Starts in B.
Her damage is hard to shop against
Crits carrying bonus magic damage mean the enemy tank line cannot solve her with armor alone, and splitting defensive requirements hurts at any stage. The Transcendent form's slowing beam gives her a way to set the distance of the fight herself, which most marksmen have to borrow.
The numbers are why she is not higher
The curve points the right direction, but an even result in the late game is participation rather than a takeover.
A team that stalls to forty minutes expecting a premier endgame marksman is betting on a version of her the data has not delivered yet.
The beam sets the distance. Keep the fight at the length you chose and let the mixed damage do the arguing.

How this grade was judged
The grade weighs range, target access, sustained and burst damage, crowd control, mobility, durability, healing and shielding, resets, cooldown structure, objective and formation control, split pressure, and how well the champion survives a long fight. Builds and forms that scale differently are graded separately. This is Vambient's gameplay evaluation of coordinated late-game fights, not a win-rate calculation. Full methodology.

The grade measures one thing: how much a champion can influence a coordinated late-game objective fight once both teams reach full builds. It does not measure early strength, snowballing, or win rate. A weak late-game champion still wins by ending the game first, which is what the rest of the library teaches. How the grades are decided.
