Master Yi Build

The way to build Master Yi Wild Rift is equipment that increases attack speed, physical damage, resistance and lifesteal.

The first item you will gain is "Blade of the Ruined King". The passive that deals extra damage on basic attacks matches well with Master Yi's attack style. Besides, it also gives 10% lifesteal to help Master Yi be persistent to slash multiple enemies consecutively.

"Wit's End" also deals bonus damage on basic attacks and heals Master Yi. With only 2 equipment your attack speed has increased to 80%. Just choosing the right time to join the fight Master Yi can cut the entire enemy squad.

The rest of the equipment you will depend on is usually armor-piercing equipment to ensure Master Yi deals enough damage to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible.

Focus on farming the gold target and leveling up as fast as you can. At this time, Master Yi cannot gank because Master Yi is very weak at the beginning of the game and does not have the ability to control the game.

Mid game

Once equipped, Master Yi can find a chance to gank. But the goal should be limited to still farming jungle monsters and controlling big goals.

Late game

This is the time when Master Yi is very strong. Can solo 1vs1 can push turrets. Attack the enemy's backline and destroy the gunners.

Master Yi pros and cons

Pros

Push the pillar fast.

The ultimate is very powerful when combined with "Alpha Great Skill" will dodge CC.

Cons

Not much early game effect.

Master Yi counters

"Meditate" will stand still. At this time, it is very easy to be interrupted by the enemy with CC. If you see Master Yi turn on "Highlander" just run.

Conclusion

Master Yi Wild Rift is not the right champion to start a fight, you have to wait for the enemy team to be partially poked. To ensure the most kills, the fastest cooldown every time "Highlander" is turned on. Master Yi's build requires massive damage in a short amount of time. Because Master Yi is not a poke champion.
