Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.
Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.
You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.
The Yuumi Zilean synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Zilean, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Yuumi sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Zilean. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Zilean helps Yuumi perform worse in competitive League matches. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Yuumi is paired with Zilean, she gets a moderate decrease in her full damage dealt. This change may indicate that Zilean does not provide protection for her to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Yuumi is played together with Zilean on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Zilean. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Zilean.
Additionally, when Yuumi plays with Zilean on the same team, she typically takes a little less damage than when she fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Zilean does a decent job of protecting Yuumi during team fights.
There is no universally accepted best synergy for Yuumi that will 100% of the time be her #1 teammate. However, overall, Zilean is a relatively poor ally for Yuumi. By being on the same team as Yuumi, he lowers their win rate by -2.6% to 41.3%. This shows that there is a harmful bond between Yuumi and Zilean that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.
Zilean has a much greater difficulty compared to Yuumi. That means Yuumi players must be cautious when enlisting Zilean teammates to fight alongside, as they will require a much greater level of skill to fight well with you.
When playing alongside, Yuumi players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to support your allies. Combined, these champs should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.
Conversely, by aligning Yuumi and Zilean together, you probably will not be giving your other allies a great deal of engage. Plan to pick other champions on your team that fills this relative gap in this pairing's abilities.
Regardless of the skill of your Zilean teammate, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.

The best finished items to include in your Yuumi and Zilean synergy build consist of Knight's Vow, Ardent Censer, and Moonstone Renewer.
