Master Yi Build Guide by flanforthree

My take on Yi

It's fun messing around with Master Yi builds as it's hard to do him wrong, but he doesn't necessarily have to be the right-click-and-win champion.

With this build it's very viable to take on most all mid champions (cassiopia and others like tristana and caitlyn are very troublesome. If you do decide to mid proc alpha strike and meditate first so you can outfarm and outlane. (its very easy to outfarm as yi)

To engage, lets say, an ashe build up your double-strike passive. Wait for them to come close, alpha onto them and double strike. With the armor pen runes you should be doing true damage, and this one atk (after landing the double strike) will leave them at half health or less. Repeat the process or wait to level 6 and destroy them with wuju and your atk speed.

This little trick is more painful with sheen seeing as the alpha will activate the bonus and make your double strike even scarier.

I like trinity force even though it is expensive, and it makes playing as yi more fun. Obviously if you know how to use actives put Yomuu's in slot one and you can wuju activate to get a secondary yi like ult to take down towers or annoying champions.

Overall its a very sturdy build allowing for slightly better health, a lot of burst, hella strong auto atks, and the ability to run away if necessary.
