Playing as Evelynn

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Wait 2.5 seconds to charm

    Mark your target with Allure (W) and wait 2.5 seconds before hitting: the mark then charms them and lowers their magic resist for your combo.

  2. Save your R to finish

    Save Last Caress (R) to finish: its damage increases against enemies below 30% health, and you blink backward, untargetable.

  3. Approach in camouflage

    Approach your target unseen once you hit level 6: from then on, Demon Shade (passive) camouflages you out of combat.

  4. Farm before level 6

    Farm before level 6 rather than forcing ganks: Demon Shade (passive) only camouflages you from that level on.

Playing against Master Yi

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't run alone from his R

    Against Highlander (R), don't run alone: regroup with your team, because he gains speed and ignores slows.

  2. CC him after his Alpha Strike

    If you have CC other than a slow, land it right after Alpha Strike (Q): during the strike, he's untargetable, and Highlander (R) ignores slows.

  3. Interrupt his Meditate

    If you have CC, interrupt Meditate (W): he channels it to heal, more at low health, and to reduce the damage he takes.

  4. Pressure his jungle early

    Put pressure on his jungle early on: Master Yi is strongest once he has his items, and each stolen camp delays him.
