Optional Summoner Spells

Exhaust

Exhaust

Defensive option. Exhaust for peeling against enemy divers and assassins and protecting yourself.

Heal

Heal

Classic ADC option. Gives you and a teammate a burst of movement speed and health in clutch moments.

Cleanse

Cleanse

Underrated, not super easy to use, requires skill and getting used to it, but very good option. It is blessing if you pick it blindly against heavy CC comps. Frees you from disables and exhaust to keep you dealing damage.

How it works

  1. You build 100% crit, lots of AD, and attack speed to melt the enemy team.
  2. ADC Master Yi is a late-game scaling powerhouse.
  3. Your goal is to become the primary carry for your team.

How to play

Getting started

  1. Play carefully early on until you get some core items.
  2. Usually a good rush item is The Collector.
  3. Don't rush Infinity Edge. It scales off of your other crit items, so usually go for it as your #2 or #3 item.

Adapting

  1. Adapt to the enemy team. If they have lots of tanks or start stacking Armor, prioritize Lord Dominik's Regards early.
  2. If you are facing heavy AP burst or assassins, items like Immortal Shieldbow or Maw of Malmortius can save your life.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

Alpha Strike (Q)

  1. You can dodge a lot of skillshots with Alpha Strike (Q). Even global ultimates, if you time it properly. Activate it just as the ability is about to hit you.
  2. You can use Alpha Strike (Q) to drop turret's aggro. That's very important during dives!
  3. 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!
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

Wuju Style (E)

  1. If you are sure you are gonna hit someone with Q, you can activate Wuju Style (E) mid-flight for additional poke damage.

Riot

  1. 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.
  2. Wuju Style is very strong early for last hitting minions.
  3. 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.
