Playing as Master Yi
Tips to maximize your impact
- Dodge with Alpha Strike
Cast Alpha Strike (Q) to dodge a spell or a burst: you're untargetable during the strike, and your autos lower its cooldown.
- Meditate to tank damage
Cast Meditate (W) to tank a burst mid-teamfight: you take less damage, heal more at low health, and the time left on Highlander (R) is paused.
- Activate Highlander to chase
Activate Highlander (R) to chase: you gain move speed and attack speed, and slows no longer affect you.
- Chain your kills
Chain kills in teamfights: each takedown lowers the remaining cooldown of your basic spells, and extends Highlander (R) if it's active.
Playing against Fiora
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Short trades
Take short trades: each Vital she hits with Duelist's Dance (passive) heals her and speeds her up.
- Wait for her Riposte before your CC
If you have CC, wait until Riposte (W) is used: if it parries an immobilizing effect, her stab stuns you instead of slowing you.
- Trade after her Lunge
Take a trade when Lunge (Q) has just whiffed: without an enemy hit, its cooldown isn't reduced, and it's her only dash.
- Send two to answer her split
Answer her split push with two players rather than alone: in a duel, Grand Challenge (R) reveals four Vitals and speeds her up near her target.
