Master Yi Build Guide

Master Yi remains a jungler built around snowballing, posting a 50.93% winrate and 6.16% pickrate on patch 16.13.1 according to ranked figures. He also shows up in the top lane now and then. Hail of Blades fits his fast auto-attack rhythm, pushing damage up front so he can win skirmishes and 1v1s quickly.

Start with Kraken Slayer for steady on-hit bonus damage, then add Guinsoo’s Rageblade to build attack speed even higher. Experimental Hexplate finishes the core with extra mobility and burst. Level Q first, followed by E, then W, and treat Alpha Strike as both his main damage source and his reset tool. The guide below covers items, runes, and matchups in full.
