Spells:
Smite
Exhaust
Ability Order
Double Strike (PASSIVE)
Master Yi Passive Ability
Introduction







Build 1:
Wriggle's Lantern
Mercury's Treads
Trinity Force
Warmog's Armor
Atma's Impaler
Infinity Edge
Bloodthirster
Explanation:
Mercury's Treads
- The MR and Tenacity is more useful then the small amount of AS that you get from Berzerker's Greaves as
Master Yi is usually the First person to get targetted in a team fight.
Wriggle's Lantern
- This is self explanatory as your jungling and the Madred's Razors Passive is useful for jungling. This is
Master Yi's main Lifesteal item for the majority of the game till you switch this for
Bloodthirster
Trinity Force
- This is an all round good item for
Master Yi as he uses alot of his abilities in and before a fight. As any decent master yi player would know you
Alpha Strike to the Hero your trying to kill giving you a Double damage hit. Also proc'ing
Wuju Style gives you another Tri Force proc giving you another double damage hit and if you kill that hero while
Highlander is up, you get all your cooldowns back and repeat.
Warmog's Armor
- This is what makes
Master Yi Tanky DPS. Gives a solid chunk of health making him more useful in team fights and easier to play as he will survive for longer. Simple Really
Atma's Impaler
- Because of the health increase from
Trinity Force and
Warmog's Armor this is a quick way to increase you AD. Also the Armor given from this makes him more Tanky and the Crit Chance increase is always helpful
Infinity Edge
- After Your
Warmog's Armor and
Atma's Impaler you don't need any more tanky items so you focus on AD.
Infinity Edge is the highest AD item in the game as well as the Extra 50% crit damage this item will let you tear another ******* into any squishy champion that you should already be raping.
Bloodthirster
- Late game Wriggle's lantern is ****

The Black Cleaver
This can be used to replace infinity edge if you have high stacking armor tanks on the team like:




Madred's Bloodrazor
For high health stacking champions replace



Frozen Mallet
This can be used to replace



Quicksilver Sash
This item is under used in lol. This is an improved cleanse and a decent amount of MR for a very low price. This item has saved my life quite a few times and suprised the other team when their perfect plan of CC'ing me to **** and killing me, fails and i run off laughing :)
The Masteries i've chosen for
Master Yi are 21 Offence, 9 Defence.
Offence:
Summoner's Wrath
because of
Exhaust
Butcher
for extra damage to creeps for faster Jungling
Brute Force
and
Havoc
For extra AD
Alacrity
for Extra AS = More Crits = More Damage
Lethality and
Deadliness
for Critical Strike = More Damage
Vampirism
Lifesteal for surviving the Jungle
Sunder
and
Weapon Expertise
Armor penetration = More Damage
Executioner
Because you would be an idiot if you didnt get the last mastery in a tree
as well as its beast 6% Damage increase when the Enemy is below 40% health. Not that anyone gets away when you in
Highlander anyway :)
Defence:
Summoner's Resolve
10 extra gold on Smite is helpful to get your full build
Hardiness
6 extra armor
Tough Skin
Reduced damage to minion for surviving the Jungle
Durabilitiy Extra health is always useful
Vigor
Health Regen is always useful
Bladed Armor
helps Yi get through the Jungle faster by incresing his DPS

Offence:

9x
9x
9x Greater Mark of Desolation
3x
Explanation:
Greater Glyph of Attack Speed
- Attack Speed is useful for getting more procs of your
Double Strike and making
Wuju Style more efficient
Greater Seal of Health
- Because
Master Yi is naturally squishy without items these help him survive through the start of the jungle and generally throughout the whole game.
Greater Mark of Desolation
- Because Yi's build is completely Devoid of a
Black Cleaver ,
Last Whisper or a
Youmuu's Ghostblade these help him get more damage out from auto attacks
Greater Quintessence of Health
- The same as
Greater Seal of Health

Here's the way to do it.
1. Pop

and


2. Pop another


Proc on two of the Wraiths and just autoattack them down.
3. Pop another

4. Only attack Blue Buff if you have 3/4 Health left. If so Pop a

pop a


5. By now you should be able to Gank top lane. Tell top lane that you are coming in to gank and sit in the bush till the other team has pushed to your tower. Ping target and


6. B then get your Madred's Razor and

Master Yi has a cool set of skills making him an awesome AD hero.
- Nice Damage that stay constant through each target. Also has a 20% chance to do extra damage to creeps making it really good for Farming and Jungling.
- Gives at max level 300 armor and magic resistance making it easy to soak up bursty champions combo's and then retaliate with a good dose of Sword and ***. Also gives a decent regen even with no AP in your build. Useful to take against
Karthus to survive his cross map ult.
- A great amount of AD especially early game and on activation gives double the amount of the passive. Also if you kill someone in
Highlander with
Wuju Style activiated its gives you triple the Passive damage.
- In my opinion one of the most useful, fun and annoying ults in LOL. Gives a massive MS and AS boost as well as making him immune to any slow effects meaning he is able to run through alot of team fights and kill the casters. Careful though this skill can make you very cocky and can make you do stupid things. Use wisely to great effect.
For Jungling I pick
Wuju Style instead of
Alpha Strike because the effectiveness is more useful when your attacking Wraiths at level 2 when you get your first level.
While Ganking after my
Trinity Force:
-
Alpha Strike,
Trinity Force,
Wuju Style,
Trinity Force,
Highlander,
Trinity Force = Kill. then repeat :)

Hopefully this build will help you find a better way of playing Yi. In my opinion Flat DPS Yi is over-played and is devoid of skill and HP ;). Hopefully Tanky-DPS yi will help people to realise that yi is actually a good and useful addition to a team. Feel free to comment feedback on how i should change this guide as this is my first time :) Enjoy.
