Guide to Countering Master Yi as Shyvana

Tips for Playing as Shyvana against Master Yi

It can be valuable to purchase one of the items that can slow enemies: Frozen Mallet, Dead Man's Plate, or Entropy.

Shyvana's abilities all benefit from attacking units. As a result, Attack Speed items are more valuable on her than most champions.

Burnout is an ideal choice for jungling. Monsters will be hit by the full duration, and the speed boost improves her ganking potential.

Flame Breath is great to level-up against difficult lane opponents.

Advice to Win Against Master Yi

If Master Yi tries to farm with Alpha Strike, hit him a few times so he has to use mana with Meditate to heal.

Although Master Yi cannot be slowed while using Highlander, other disables can stop him in his tracks.

Meditate is an effective method of healing damage over time, but Master Yi is susceptible to coordinated team ganks early in the game.
