Tank Master Yi build with runes and items. Tank Master Yi guide offers in-depth how-to play, skill order and tips. Play Tank Master Yi build in League of Legends Patch 25.13!
You start with Guardian's Horn. Your #1 rush should be item that counters enemy team most (MR or Armor item). Get Jak'Sho as #2 item. Then adapt.
Triumph is better overall (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of the Mind.
Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for very long time (or even have it as 6th item).
You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
Tips and Tricks
Champion
Use Alpha Strike (Q) to poke enemies standing near minions — the ability will bounce to nearby targets, letting you harass safely from a distance. Works with your Wuju Style (E) as well as with On-Hit items!
By using Q on a dying minion — if the minion dies mid-cast - you won't teleport. This can be useful to baiting enemies as well as dishing out some poke with Q.
Alpha Strike (Q) can be used to escape by targeting nearby minions or enemies — you're untargetable during the cast, which can help dodge key skill shots or buy time for cooldowns and allies.
Riot
If you're in a lane against ranged players, leveling up Meditate can allow you to stay in the lane longer and gain levels faster than they will.
Wuju Style is very strong early for last hitting minions.
Try using Alpha Strike on a minion in front of an enemy champion so you are placed at a safe distance at the end of the spell.
