Playing as Yone

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Charge Mortal Steel on minions

    Hit twice with Mortal Steel (Q), minions included, to charge the next one: it makes you dash forward and knocks the enemies hit into the air.

  2. Cleave several champions at once

    Cast Spirit Cleave (W) on several champions at once: it deals damage based on their max health, and your shield grows with the number of champions hit.

  3. Engage in spirit form

    Cast Soul Unbound (E) to engage: when it ends, you snap back to the body you left behind, and part of the damage you dealt to champions is repeated.

  4. Line them up for your ult

    Cast Fate Sealed (R) through several enemies: everyone in the line is hit and knocked into the air toward you, and you reappear behind the last champion hit.

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.
