Summary
Master Yi has tempered his body and sharpened his mind, so that thought and action have become almost as one. Though he chooses to enter into violence only as a last resort, the grace and speed of his blade ensures resolution is always swift. As one of the last living practitioners of the Ionian art of Wuju, Yi has devoted his life to continuing the legacy of his people—scrutinizing potential new disciples with the Seven Lenses of Insight to identify the most worthy among them.
One of the first concepts, Yi was held by PROJECT for extensive experimentation, and then finally freed by the G/NETIC rebels. His psyche may still contain some glitches, but his experimental hyperlight “alpha” blade serves the resistance with its precision blade.
Gliding effortlessly from star to star, Yi flashes through the night sky with celestial grace, his blade arcing with crystalline precision through the fabric of the universe itself.

Yi has been described as never attacking until landing a strike on his opponent was absolutely guaranteed.)
Weaknesses: None notable
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Double Strike: Master Yi gains a stack of Double Strike for every basic attack on-hit within 4 seconds of each other. At 3 stacks, Master Yi's next basic attack on-attack within 4 seconds consumes the stacks to strike twice, the second strike dealing bonus physical damage. The second strike applies on-attack and on-hit effects at full effect. If Master Yi's primary target is killed before the second strike, he automatically attacks another enemy within range.
- Alpha Strike: Master Yi teleports to a target and then to the nearest visible un-marked enemy within a few meters, recurring up to 3 times. Upon completion, or if there're no other enemies in range, he re-appears in front of his target and deals physical damage to all marked enemies. If his target dies during the delay, he will reappear at the cast location instead. If there are no other un-marked enemies in range, he may strike the same enemies again, dealing bonus damage instantly.
- Meditate: Master Yi channels for up to 4 seconds, healing himself every 0.5 seconds. While channeling, Master Yi reduces incoming damage pauses Wuju Style's and Highlander's duration, and grants one stack of Double Strike per second.
- Wuju Style: Master Yi's basic attacks deal bonus true damage for 5 seconds.
- Highlander: For 7 seconds Master Yi gains bonus attack speed and bonus movement speed and becomes immune to slows. While active, takedowns extend the duration of Highlander by 7 seconds.
- Seven Lenses of Insight: A techmaturgical device gifted to Yi by the Wuju master craftsman Doran. Master Yi first used these goggles when defending his homeland from Noxian invaders. The goggles are fitted specifically for Master Yi; while someone else may wear them, they won't receive anywhere near the same benefit as he does himself. These one-of-a-kind goggles allow Master Yi to see across a wider range of the spectrum than normal people see, as well as view life forces and see into the Spirit World. They also give him abilities not dissimilar to that of real world binoculars and telescopes. The goggles are synced to Yi's own magical resonance, allowing him to adjust settings without the use of his hands. He simply thinks what he needs, and the goggles act accordingly.
- Hyperlight "Alpha" Blade: PROJECT Master Yi's weapon, the 098X Fusion Edge Hyperlight core provides precision balance and lossless energy distribution, making it highly compatible with multi-target combat. The Black RR "Solid Smoke" Blade Casing is forged out of 2250R-100 Aero-Carbon compound that provides lightweight fitting for 098X Fusion Edge and is adaptable to unique molecular states.
