How to win the jungle race as Master Yi against Lillia · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Master Yi's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Lillia.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Even Skirmish | Even at the first buff, for a concrete reason — the Blooming Blows true-damage edge clears fast, while Alpha Strike speeds your clear, but raw duels are losers — farm, don't fight. Commit only with hard CC or a gap-closer in hand — a raw chase is a lost race, and let the camp timers choose the fight for you. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Even Skirmish | Dead-even on the second camp: Wuju Style helps the clear more than the duel; keep choosing camps over combat, while Watch Out! Eep! center-hits plus passive speed kite melee kits apart. Whoever arrives with more HP and cooldowns wins, so track their clear and pick the moment. |
| Level 3 Route | Respect Lillia | Perma-kiting with passive move speed and the true-damage Q edge means melee never touch her — Master Yi has no answer to that at level 3. Dream-dust uptime plus W nukes out-pace anything without a dash on their half of the map too, so give up the level-3 river fight and answer the pressure cross-map. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Even — Farm & Track | Levels 4-5 are a stalemate vs Lillia — match their clear speed, keep river vision, and bank gold for the level-6 window instead of coin-flipping. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Highlander Favoured | Highlander's slow immunity plus Alpha resets snowball any post-6 cleanup. A multi-target Lullaby sleep hands her side a free opening volley — respect that one window, but the six-spike comparison favors you: take the post-6 duel whenever HP bars start even. |
| First Item Spike | Kraken Slayer Spike | Completing your core item triggers a massive physical damage, attack speed, and on-hit multiplier that completely overpowers traditional brawlers or isolated targets. Lillia's first item is when the passing damage becomes real — she stops chipping and starts out-pacing health bars. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Master Yi Favoured — Wins Late | Lillia falls off relative to you — from two items on you win the raw stat check, even though she is untouchable dream damage on a permanent kite, and the sleep decides fights. Drag the game long and force the 1v1s. |
Start your clear at the Red Buff camp to maximize early health sustain and red buff true damage. Lillia clears fast and safely, kiting camps with Blooming Blows, and takes very little damage getting to three.
