Ymir is really odd for leveling. He is very situational in what he wants to do.

• If you are not having trouble getting to targets, need a bit more uptime on your slow, and/or want a bit more damage focus on your 2
• If you are facing a lot of immobile characters or characters without leaps/blinks, then leveling your 1 gives you a lot longer on the duration of your wall and reduces its cooldown so it could be a good option.
• If you are just needing longer lockdown on an enemy, your 3 is the way to go. The stun gets longer per level
• Typically you will take a point into your ult any chance you get, but with only damage and cooldown when you rank it up, sometimes you can forego putting a second point into your ult for more readily available utility.

For newer players, the best leveling in my opinion is: 4>3>2>1

but ymir is a very flexible ice block

In the early game, ymir is a genuine threat with the strong slow on his 2 and his enhanced autos. You will not be able to solo a enemy right away, but you can do a lot of damage, and your wave clear is pretty solid. Hitting level 2 first allow you to look for kill pressure with your ADC by taking your freeze or wall and locking down the enemy. Be cautious fighting in wave, as taking a lot of damage can cause you to get turned on. Ymir is immobile without his wall so keep this in mind. In the mid game use your 2 to and wall to create set up opportunities or apply pressure. Your 3 is best saved for peeling or continued lockdown if the fight looks like it will continue. In the late game look for a clean wall to isolate an enemy or cut off a line of attack and then press in for follow up CC and damage.

Be the tank you needed when you were a squishy. Prevent your teammates from dying with immaculate peels, then trap your foes between a wall and a nuclear warhead as you channel your ult for maximum effect. Go blow up
