Master Yi
View on Wiki
Excellent (8.5/10)
Low Investment
Epic Relics
Master Yi is a high-performance champion capable of achieving infinite scaling and early-game victories with minimal star investment. While his reliance on specific Epic relics to reach his absolute ceiling is a factor, his baseline effectiveness at 3 stars is remarkably high compared to the rest of the roster.
The Wuju Infinite
Essential for saturating the deck with champion copies and providing the initial cost reduction needed to transition champion spells to zero mana.
Multiplies the stat bonuses from every spell cast, resulting in exponential power growth during a single turn.
Provides vital keywords like Overwhelm and Challenger, ensuring that stat growth is translated into immediate lethal damage.
Strategy
This configuration focuses on the interaction between Wuju Style and Hero's Horn. By reducing the cost of the champion spell to zero through relics and adventure powers (such as Spellslinger or Wild Inspiration), Master Yi can repeatedly draw himself and buff his board until lethal damage is achieved.
Tempo & Mana Management
Ensures an immediate mana refill upon play, allowing for a flurry of spells the moment the champion hits the board.
Grants the entire board Overwhelm, which is necessary to prevent the enemy from stalling with low-health blockers.
Provides a consistent source of champion spells every round, aiding in Flow triggers and deck thinning.
Strategy
A more accessible build that prioritizes consistent spell mana and board-wide pressure. It utilizes Flow triggers to outscale opponents mid-game without requiring specific infinite-loop components.
Other Relic Options
Clears the way for a game-ending swing by neutralizing the enemy board upon leveling up.
Provides long-term sustainability for spellcasting in adventures that require multiple rounds to conclude.
Constellation
Master Yi is considered a complete champion at three stars. His kit is highly cohesive and does not suffer from the power-gating often found in newer champions. His primary strength lies in his champion spell's ability to draw additional copies of himself, which remains effective regardless of future constellation expansions.

Gameplay Tips
- Hero's Horn Synergy
Wuju Style is pre-equipped with Hero's Horn in the starting deck. This allows every cast to draw another copy of the champion. Prioritize spell cost reduction in adventures to facilitate infinite loops.
- Managing Hand Space
During high-volume spell turns, hand space can become a significant bottleneck. Ensure you play units or discard less useful cards to avoid burning drawn champion copies during an infinite cycle.
- Flow Prioritization
Triggering Flow every round is the engine of the deck's scaling. Plan your spell casts to ensure at least two spells are played per round to maximize the cost reduction and stat growth passives.
- Optimal Support Selection
Seek support champions that provide cheap, targeted spells or additional spell mana. Champions that generate low-cost targeting effects can help bridge the gap before the main win condition is established.
- Mulligan Strategy
Always search for Master Yi and your lowest-cost spell generators in the opening hand. The deck's efficacy is directly tied to how early the champion can begin discounting the hand through his passive effects.
