Master Yi is a Jungle carry fighter in Wild Rift, a wuju master specializing in extreme sustained DPS and teamfight clean-ups through ability resets. His kit exploits true damage via Wuju Style, a temporary invulnerability meditation, and a Highlander ultimate negating slow effects and enabling unlimited resets. He excels in compositions offering mass CC that leave weakened targets for him to clean up. In Wild Rift, his Alpha Strike resets on kills allow chaining eliminations at a speed exceeding the response capacity of unprepared compositions.
Master Yi excels in compositions offering speed or attack buffs that amplify his clean-up phase. He benefits from allies who handle initial engagements and leave him only weakened targets. Reverse peel compositions — that protect Yi rather than initiate — maximize his carry potential.
Master Yi is heavily countered by chained CC compositions that interrupt his meditate and prevent him from advancing. Champions who can repeatedly slow or immobilize him neutralize his ultimate. Good vision and grouped play drastically reduce his pick opportunities.
With Master Yi, wait for enemy CC to be used before engaging — entering too early is the most common mistake. Use Alpha Strike to pass through obstacles and make repositioning unpredictable. In teamfights, your target is the most exposed carry, not the first visible enemy.
Play eco and avoid unfavorable duels; track enemy junglers and counter-ganke immobile lanes.
Two items = go time: look for picks on the sides and convert them into objectives.
Split if the opponent's compo has too many peels, otherwise flank and cleanup when the final defenders have fallen.

You should almost never be the first to enter. Wait for enemy CC to be used, then enter to secure a quick kill and trigger Highlander.
Because you engage too early. Yi is extremely vulnerable on direct entry. You need to wait for enemy mistakes, not force them.
He is a finisher. He cleans up fights once enemy resources are spent.
Very rarely. Engaging with Yi is usually a mistake unless in very specific situations.
