Master Yi

Double Strike P

Double Strike

Innate: Master Yi's basic attacks on-hit generate a stack of Double Strike for 4 seconds, refreshing on subsequent hits and stacking up to 3 times. At 3 stacks, Master Yi's next basic attack on-attack is empowered to consume the stacks on-hit and strike twice, the second strike dealing 50% AD physical damage.
The second strike applies on-hit effects, triggers on-attack effects, and is affected by critical strike modifiers.
If Master Yi's primary target is killed before the second strike, he automatically attacks another enemy within 300 range.
The second strike can critically strike against structures.

Playing the matchup

Playing as Master Yi

  • If you're in a lane against ranged players, leveling up Meditate can allow you to stay in the lane longer and gain levels faster than they will.
  • Wuju Style is very strong early for last hitting minions.
  • Try using Alpha Strike on a minion in front of an enemy champion so you are placed at a safe distance at the end of the spell.

Playing against Master Yi

  • Meditate is an effective method of healing damage over time, but Master Yi is susceptible to coordinated team ganks early in the game.
  • If Master Yi tries to farm with Alpha Strike, hit him a few times so he has to use mana with Meditate to heal.
  • Although Master Yi cannot be slowed while using Highlander, other disables can stop him in his tracks.
