How to Play

AP Master Yi is a scaling mid laner who excels at farming and looking for opportunities to burst down enemies. Focus on safely farming with Alpha Strike (Q) while poking your opponent whenever they misposition. Avoid taking unnecessary early fights, as you'll become much stronger once you complete a few core AP items.

After reaching level 6, Highlander (R) gives you excellent roaming and cleanup potential, allowing you to chase down enemies and chain kills with its resets. In teamfights, wait for key enemy abilities to be used before diving in and cleaning up low health targets.

Runes Explained

For AP Master Yi's runes, you'll want to maximize the damage of your abilities while picking up enough defense to survive the laning phase. Ability Power Marks and Ability Power Quintessences significantly increase the damage of Alpha Strike (Q) and your overall burst.

Armor Seals help reduce damage from AD champions during the early game, while Magic Resist Glyphs provide valuable protection against AP threats throughout the game.

Masteries Explained

When playing AP Master Yi, you should prioritize the Offense tree to maximize your burst damage and scaling. The bonus Ability Power and Magic Penetration greatly increase the damage of Alpha Strike (Q), making it much easier to burst down enemies and clear waves.

For your secondary tree, Utility is the best choice. The extra Movement Speed and reduced Summoner Spell cooldowns help you roam more effectively, reposition in fights, and create more opportunities to pick off enemy champions.
