Tips & Tricks
- Emblems are quite strong in this line as there is a +1 slot on Level 9 that can flexibly get played to reach 6 Brawler or 6 Marauder with an Emblem or 2 Bastion.
- Edge of Night is by far the most important item in this comp. The comp is 1 tier weaker if you can't get an Edge of Night on Master Yi. In an ideal world, you can get 2 Edge of Nights for Master Yi and Fiora respectively. It's almost always worth greeding for Edge of Night.
- After the Psionic item changes in Patch 17.4, all Psionic items are acceptable. You can safely play this line with any Psionic item as long as you have a good spot for it. The reworked Sympathetic Implant can go on Master Yi. Read the reworked items! They are more flexible now.
- Consider itemizing Urgot if you have good items for him and do not have Fiora yet. He can sometimes be a strong tertiary carry option that helps get you to 9

Economy Strategy
Fast 8
- Level to 4 if you have upgrades and a good item to place on one of those upgrades.
- Level to 5, unless on 3 loss streak.
- Level to 6 if on 4+ win streak (scout to see if necessary in high elo) or can stay above 40g.
- Level to 6, unless you would go below 30g. If you have to stay level 5 due to low gold (rare), then level to 6 on 3-5.
- Level to 7 if you can stay above 30g, otherwise stay level 6.
- Level to 7.
- Level to 8. Roll for desired comp until stable. "Stable" changes depending on rank, items, augments, composition, and patch. Melee carries and tanks get the biggest spike for 2-stars. Usually stable involves 2-star tank or carry and some other supporting 2-stars. Try not to roll below 10g.
- If you are weak (e.g., have no 2-star 4-costs), consider rolling again to 10g here. If you are stable, save gold to go 9.
- If you are low HP and haven't 2-starred your carry and tank, roll to 0g. If you have medium to high HP with an upgraded + itemized 4-cost unit and some other upgrades, save gold to go 9.
- If high HP, consider waiting until 5-5 to go level 9. If medium HP, consider going level 9 if you can roll 20g or wait until 5-5. If low HP and can afford to go 9, do so even if you have almost no gold to roll on 9. If you can't afford to go 9 this game, roll every turn for upgrades.
- Level to 9 if possible. From this point onward, look to level to 9. Acknowledge games where level 9 is not possible and roll every turn on 8 to preserve placements.
- For max cap games, you can either roll on 9 or level to 10. If you are itemizing a 5-cost carry and it is 1-starred, roll on 9. If you have all your main itemized units upgraded, level to 10.

???? high roll yi at like 3-3 off mass streak, electrocharge, group hug, giant mighty, two star everything, perfect items except psyonic item…. go 7th…. is this comp dead?
the comp is dead
had fiora via aura farming and got blasted by orn+mf abusers…all fiora did was dying.
i would not consider this to be a viable comp at all xD
evertime i played yi, all he did was dying and disappointing
build is kinda trash if you are stuck at 8 and cant get fiora
You could add Band of Thieves (A or S). Not bad early game, it’s great to be able to gear Urgot, Fiora and secondary tanks.
Living Forge and Forge in Strenght – S tier
Master Yi with Malware Matrix + HellFire Hatchet + Edge of Night, 2.95 AVP (-.48 Delta) Masters+
Can i ask why do we build striker’s if we’re not playing Akali?
Loot sub when it gives a spat can bring this comp all the way to OP, Marauder being the highest cap, FoN from Loot Sub can also just fit any 2 star 5, Shen Jhin Graves if you have items, Sona, Blitz, anything
Anima 400 Cashout into this line, Battle Bunny Crossbow pretty good on Kindred with LW or some Crit item and Guinsoos, Jinx 3 cashout is better with the items until you get Kindred 2
Without emblem its a top 4 four comp but nothing more, everything else with this patch is much stronger, even primordial reroll
ragebait
put morgana back in the main shes a better tank right now than even tahm in my opinion
Forge in Strenght and Living Forge are really good Pris for this comp, anything except the AP items are good
Good Artifacts on Master Yi/Fiora: Titatnic Hydra, Deaths Defiance, Flickerblade, Hellfire Hatchet, Evelunn Instinct, Mittens, Zhonyas(Fiora), Prowlers Claw, TriForce
Generic Tank Artifacts on Tahm
death dance item slaps on yi. just played it with edge of night and malware. he tanked upwards of 11k dmg per round it was insane
I’ve played this comp twice now with marauder emblem and in my opinion this comp caps much higher when you can have a morgana 2 holding the emblem rather than kindred
The comp felt significantly weaker without Malware Matrix or Target Lock optics.
Probably -1 tier with Biometric Preserver and -2 tier for Sympathetic implant and Drone Uplink.
Main user for implant is Maokai and Morgana
and Drone is for Morgana in level 9 or Urgot/Kindred in level 8
17.2b Stats
(Item) (avg. place)
Malware Matrix 3.84
Target Lock optics 3.93
Biometric Preserve 4.09
Drone Uplink 4.24
Sympathetic implant 4.33
the bis on yi has to be the malware matrix edge of night and evelynns instinct, i mean this item just mows them down no way its anything else.
I think marauder emblem is a bit of a bait since 6 marauder feels pretty weak, never got above a third with it since you sack stage 4 to go 9 and put in fiora
can transition from primordian to this, evelynn’s instinct should be an s tier condition for this comp
who is evelyns instinct good on?
yi and kindred are both amazing users
