Master Yi Wild Rift Best Build Guide

Carry build for resets and chase: Master Yi does not only want to kill one target, he wants the first kill to make the rest unplayable for the enemy. The build must therefore serve access, auto-attack continuity, and enough margin to reach that first reset without exploding.

The detailed guide below dates from patch 7.0e and is being rewritten — for the current meta, rely on the variants above.

Master Yi wins through sustained DPS and resets, not burst. Build must maximize attack speed, on-hit effects and survivability during first kill.
