Master Yi

Master Yi rarely seems to start a fight. He simply finishes it before it has properly begun. Years of drilling his body and sharpening his focus have shrunk the distance between deciding and doing to nearly nothing, so when violence finally arrives, it usually ends in one clean sweep of his blade instead of a long exchange. He reaches for combat only when every other option has run out, and he would rather stay still whenever stillness can get the job done.

He is among the few people still living who actively practice Wuju, the Ionian discipline that formed him. He regards that inheritance as something to guard, not something to show off. His abilities carry that discipline into battle:

1. Double Strike, his passive, causes a run of consecutive basic attacks to hit twice each, paying off the patience that Wuju asks of its students.
2. Alpha Strike sends him across the field as an untargetable blur, hitting every enemy he passes along the way.
3. Meditate heals him and lowers the damage he takes, a deliberate pause written straight into how he fights.
4. Wuju Style grants his basic attacks extra true damage, and Highlander, his ultimate, removes every slow applied to him and resets its own duration whenever he takes down a champion.

Handing that discipline to the next generation matters to him as much as wielding it. Yi is said to examine prospective disciples through the Seven Lenses of Insight, using them to judge who deserves to carry Wuju forward. He views Ionia‘s martial tradition as too precious to pass on lightly, even to a fighter as skilled as fellow Ionians Irelia or Akali. Whether any successor could ever truly satisfy him is an entirely different matter. His mana seldom stays low for long, because Meditate returns most of it once he pauses long enough to channel it.
