After its rework, Mail of Pain Mail of Pain became an item with physical attack (+50 Physical Attack, +300 Armor, +700 HP), which does little for Y'bneth Y'bneth , so the build above uses Mantle of Ra Mantle of Ra for more HP when tanking.

How to Combo Y'bneth

Basic Combo

  • Vine 1
  • Nature's Embrace 2
  • Vine 1
  • Vine 1
  • Seed of Life 3
  • Use Skill 1 Vine Vine to deal damage and slow the target.
  • Use Skill 2 Nature's Embrace Nature's Embrace to gather targets into one point and stun them.
  • By now Skill 1 Vine Vine has refreshed, so use it once more.
  • Once Skill 1 has stacked enough charges and turns into “Falling Tree,” use it to push the enemy into a disadvantageous position.
  • Activate the ultimate Seed of Life Seed of Life to burst damage, pin down the enemy, and heal yourself.

How to Use Y'bneth's Skills Effectively

  • When your health or mana runs low and there’s an opening, move into any bush and wait a moment to recover.
  • This is a tool that helps Y'bneth Y'bneth hold the lane extremely well and saves time from having to recall, so use it to its fullest.
  • This skill has a fast cooldown and long range, so use it to poke enemies and clear minions from a distance, or check bushes.
  • Skill 1’s passive is that once you stack 5 points (using any skill to hit a minion or monster grants 1 point, hitting an enemy hero grants 2 points; the point count is shown above your battle spell), Skill 1 will transform into “Falling Tree.”
  • Use the skill so it hits multiple targets at once to stack points faster — also, stacked points only last for a short time, so try to stack continuously to avoid losing progress.
  • The “Falling Tree” skill can cross terrain and continuously push back targets, so you can use it to push the enemy into a disadvantageous position or escape a dangerous situation yourself.
  • Try to use the skill so it hits multiple enemies at once to increase damage and stun multiple targets.
  • Also, once you’ve gathered multiple targets together, unleash Skill 1 Vine Vine to attack them, helping stack “Falling Tree” points faster.
  • Pick a position in the middle of the enemy formation or ahead of them to jump in.
  • When activating this skill, use the movement keys and the Skill 2 key Vine Vine to steer the explosions dealing damage to the enemy.
  • If you want to lock onto a specific enemy hero, steer so the explosions hit them a full 10 times, which will stun and pull that target in.
  • Since Y'bneth Y'bneth can’t move while channeling the ultimate Seed of Life Seed of Life , you need to pick a good position and check your health is safe before activating.
  • This skill has a wide damage area and long duration, so use it to open fights, zone the enemy, or contest objectives extremely effectively.

How to Play Y'bneth in the Early Game

In the early game, you can move to mid lane to help the mid laner farm, and if there’s an opportunity, coordinate with a teammate to take down the enemy mid laner.

After that, return to support your marksman’s farm — on the way, you can dip into the enemy jungle to control vision and harass their jungler.

While protecting your marksman, stand in a high position and use Skill 1 Vine Vine to poke the enemy, and Skill 2 Nature's Embrace Nature's Embrace to protect whenever the opponent tries to close in and attack your ally marksman.

How to Play Y'bneth in the Mid Game

By the mid game, your main job is still to follow and safely protect your ally marksman, giving them room to farm and avoid enemy gank attempts.

You can also move with your marksman to join small fights and attack Dragon and Caesar to bring buffs to your team.

By this stage, Y'bneth Y'bneth becomes extremely tanky and annoying once they’ve completed a certain amount of items, so take advantage of that by diving in aggressively, using yourself as a living shield for your teammates while using your skill kit to lock down enemy heroes so they have no room to attack.

How to Play Y'bneth in the Late Game

In the final stage of the match, always stay close to your allies, ready to protect them when a full team fight breaks out.

In fights, the most important thing is to keep an eye on the enemy team’s key carries and find ways to combo and lock them down so your allies get a chance to unleash damage.

The key is using Skill 2 Nature's Embrace Nature's Embrace to stun as many enemy heroes as possible and timing the ultimate Seed of Life Seed of Life to burst damage while breaking apart the enemy formation, which can secure the win for the fight and the whole match.
