Master Yi

Jungle Pure meme

AP Master Yi (the legendary one!)

How to play this build

Iconic meme build: Alpha Strike (Q) scales with AP, makes you briefly untargetable and resets on kills. With Guinsoo + Nashor + Lich Bane you're a blender in Highlander (R). Clear jungle fast and snowball with ganks into unwarded lanes.

Strengths

Alpha Strike (Q) scales with AP, makes you untargetable during the animation (dodging CC and turrets) and resets on kill.
With R you're a blender: huge attack and move speed to chain kills.
Chained resets: a good fight can end in a pentakill.

Weaknesses

CC destroys you: one stun outside your Q and you're dead.
Weak early: before items and R you're easy to invade.
You depend on resets; if you don't kill, you're left on cooldown and exposed.

Key combos

Activate R → Q to dash in untargetable onto the carry → autoattacks → Q again when it resets on the kill.

Matchups

You beat

Low-CC teams where your Q and R let you run wild.
Grouped squishies: you chain resets.

Trouble vs

Any team with stuns/anchors (Amumu, Leona) that lock you down.
Exhaust or heavy armor that shut off your DPS.

Game plan

Farm and avoid fights until you have R and a couple of items; you're a mid-late champion. Pick your fights: enter with Q on the weakest target and, once it opens up, chain resets. Never engage first — let them spend their CC.

Quick tips

Use Alpha Strike to dodge key spells (ults, turrets), not just for damage.
If the enemy has lots of CC, wait for them to blow it before jumping in.

Skill order

Max priority:

Q Golpe Alfa → E Estilo Wuju → W Meditar

The ultimate (R) is always leveled at 6, 11 and 16.

Level	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18
Q	Q			Q	Q		Q	Q
W			W											W	W		W	W
E		E							E	E		E	E
R						R					R					R

Why this order: Alpha Strike (Q) for AP damage and kill resets; Wuju (E) second. W (Meditate) at 1 point for jungle sustain.

Items and what they do

Guinsoo's Rageblade Hybrid AD/AP that stacks attack speed and power the longer you fight.
Nashor's Tooth AP, CDR and attack speed, plus magic on-hit. For AP champs that auto-attack.
Lich Bane AP, mana and move speed; attack after a spell deals huge magic damage scaling with AP. Key for AP auto builds.
Wit's End Attack speed and MR; magic on-hit that also steals the target's MR.
Sorcerer's Shoes Boots with magic penetration.

Runes

In classic LoL, runes were a system SEPARATE from masteries: bought with IP (Influence Points) and slotted into 4 tiers — Marks (red), Seals (yellow), Glyphs (blue) and Quintessences (purple, the strongest). They gave flat stats: damage, armor, penetration, etc.

Marks (red) Hybrid penetration ×9

Seals (yellow) Armor ×9

Glyphs (blue) Magic resist per level ×9

Quintessences (purple) Attack speed ×3

Magic pen, armor, hybrid AP quints

Masteries: how they work

In classic LoL you have up to 30 points (at level 30) to split across three trees: Offense (damage), Defense (durability) and Utility (mana, cooldown reduction and mobility). The notation 21/0/9 means 21 points in Offense, 0 in Defense and 9 in Utility.

Masteries: 21/9/0 — Offense
Why this page: 21/9/0 gives damage with durability to survive while spamming Alpha.
