Yunara vs Sivir Counter Pick

Spell Shield changes what Yunara is allowed to open with. Sivir’s barrier blocks one enemy ability outright and returns health plus a burst of move speed when it works, so Arc of Judgment thrown as an opener actively pays her. Across 1,561 games on 16.13.1 the split is 50.9% for Yunara, an Even rating on a sample large enough to trust.

Her advantage is reach, and it is substantial: 575 against 500, a wide gap for two marksmen sharing the bot position. It converts into less than it should, because Sivir’s damage does not depend on standing still — Boomerang Blade deals damage on the way out and the way back, Ricochet bounces her attacks between nearby targets, and Fleet of Foot hands her move speed whenever she attacks a champion. Yunara answers with attack-based output that Spell Shield cannot touch: Cultivation of Spirit stacks attack speed and on-hit damage onto basics that already carry to nearby enemies, while her critical strikes carry bonus magic damage that Sivir‘s 30 base armor and 98 at level 18 do nothing about. Base health and move speed run close at 600 and 335 against 590 and 325, with the level-18 pools favouring Yunara at 2,460 to 2,368. Both are rated 4 in difficulty.
