Introduction
Introduction
This guide was made in order to better familiarize players of League of Legends (Lol)
with the champion known as Master Yi. Following this manual you will increase your Kill Death
Assist ratio, also known as your KDA. Whether you are new or a seasoned veteran this manual
will help you tackle the competition from a variety of angles and help solidify a consistent
playstyle.
You too will achieve the penta kills with Yi.
Enabling this quickcasting will make it to where your abilities as you use the buttons q w
e and r will instantly apply over your cursor instead of prompting you to click again with the
cursor. This reduces the time that it takes to make simple actions in the game and allows you to
faceroll your keyboard. Face-rolling is where you press all of your abilities at once without any
need to click inbetween. This saves you seconds and allows you to strike first when combat
comes around.
2 - Runes
When creating your runepage before the game, I highly suggest you use these exact runes. 9
scaling magic resist glyphs, 9 flat armor seals, 9 armor penetration marks, and 3 flat attack
damage quints.
3 The items
Specifically speaking, this is the exact buildpath you will use for any game. There is no need to
try and understand the mechanics of the items, just remember these items in this exact order or
keep this page on tab while you are playing your game.
First you will always buy a longsword in the beginning, this item builds into your money maker
called the sword of the occult. The sword of the occult works in an odd way because it has no
real stats in the beginning, but it gains stats as you kill enemy champions and you lose 1/3rd of
your total stacks whenever you die. Each kill awards 2 stacks and each assist awards 1 stack. At
20 stacks this item with further increase your movespeed making you even faster.
After you have your sword of the occult the next step you should do is to save for your beserkers
greaves. After that its really simple. Only go back to the fountain to buy whole items after that
point. Meaning wait until you have the allotted amount of gold to finish the items in their
entirety. You will do this for the ghost blade, infinity edge, and the two blood thirsters. If the
game is still going and you have maxed out your 6 item slots, you will sell your beserkers
greaves and buy the zephyr. This will give you more cdr as well as movespeed to replace the
boots with. After that all gold you have can be spent on consumable elixirs of your choice at the
fountain shop.
Highlander (R)
Passive: Champion kills and assists reduce the cooldowns of Master Yi's other abilities
by 70 %.
Active: For 10 seconds, Master Yi gains 25 / 35 / 45% movement speed and 30 / 55 /
80% attack speed and becomes immune to movement speed slows. While active, kills
and assists extend the duration by 4 seconds.
In short, your q will be a gap closer. Your R will make you fast. Your W will make you
tanking but you cant move while channeling it. And your E will kill tanky champions.
Press all four when you are sure you will commit to any kill.
Highlander and wuju style do not have definitive changes to what it looks like.
If you come from the bottom it will be the bottom bush, and if you are coming from the east then
it will be that first bush you see facing the tower. We do this in order to ensure optimal chasing
distance since the summoner spell ghost that you took will last long enough to chase them down
before you enter tower range.
Do not dive into a tower before you reach level 6. You wont be fast enough to escape the towers
attack range before you die.

Roaming
For this theres only a few guidelines to follow since you will have to follow the enemy team
around and for every match theres always a few quirks to every situation but here will be some
guidelines.
2 - if you decide to follow your team around, stay in the rear and wait for the enemy champions
to use their crowd control abilities. Not every champion will have these abilities but if they do
you need to wait out those abilities. The only ones that will hinder yi are stuns, snares, roots,
knock ups, and taunts. Master yis ultimate renders all slows useless while granting him
movespeed.
Once you have found your fight or prey, move onto the next section.

Once you have found your fight to commit to its imperative to be patient and methodical.
1 Staying back. Let someone else initiate the fight. Often the first person who throws the
first punch dies in this game. Its master yis job to clean up the fight after it starts
2 Patience. count to 3-5 seconds after the fight starts. After the fight starts for a bit this is
when the majority of crowd control abilities are used and when mages use their burst damage
abilities.
3- Its go time. After the first 5 seconds of the fight are gone its time to press every button on
our keyboard. This is known as going ham so if your teammates start going crazy remain calm,
this is what yi was built for. Press Q, F, and R. These buttons will activate your ghostblade,
ghost summoner spell, and your ultimate. You will notice a significant speed boost and it might
get hard to keep track of your character on screen. Pressing spacebar intermittently may help you
realign yourself with your champion.
4- continuing the go time. As enemy champions die your q, alpha strike, will refresh.
Use this ability to continue closing the gaps of other champions until you have decimated the
enemy team. You will have no issues being slowed or outrun by the other champions so relax
and let the kills stack. After the fight is over you will notice a significant increase to the amount
of stacks your sword of the occult will accumulate. This further increases your damage.
5. Handling the post fight. Next after you have aced the enemy team its important to
push 1 -2 towers every time you do this. The only way to win the game is to push all the towers
down then ultimately destroy the enemy nexus. Its really easy to do this after killing off the
enemy team.
Repeate these steps as the game progresses and you will eventually win the game. In-between the
steps is when you will finish your blood thirsters and infinity edge. There is no specific time to
do these actions except after a big team fight.
