Master Yi

Few champions convert basic attacks into damage as efficiently as Master Yi. Rated 10 out of 10 in attack, this melee fighter-assassin is built around one idea: keep swinging until everything dies. His passive, Double Strike, makes every few consecutive attacks land twice, rewarding uninterrupted attack sequences and attack speed itemization. Officially listed for top and mid, he is equally famous as a jungler, where farming camps lets him scale safely into the mid game.

Alpha Strike defines his defensive play despite being his main damage spell: Yi teleports across the battlefield, striking multiple units while untargetable, so a well-timed Q dodges key enemy abilities entirely. Meditate complements this by restoring health and reducing incoming damage while still stacking Double Strike and pausing the durations of Wuju Style and Highlander, so defensive pauses cost him no offensive uptime.

The Highlander snowball

Wuju Style adds bonus true damage to his attacks, cutting straight through armor, while Highlander grants massive move and attack speed and slow immunity. Crucially, kills and assists extend Highlander’s duration, turning won fights into resets as he chains from target to target — which is why Yi cleans up chaotic fights better than he starts them.

At difficulty 4, Master Yi suits players who want a straightforward hypercarry fantasy: weak early, patient farming, explosive late game. His clear weakness is hard crowd control — with 4 defense and only Alpha Strike for evasion, one stun at the wrong moment can end the snowball before it starts.
