How to win the jungle race as Master Yi against Warwick · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Master Yi's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Warwick.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Danger — Avoid Warwick | Hard no-contest for Master Yi at level 1: Eternal Hunger sustain means they win any fight where both sides arrive off full camps, and Q sustain and Blood Hunt frenzy out-heal your damage the moment you drop below half. Never fight him while low — his W tracks your blood trail; disengage above 50%. Path opposite, ward your entrances, and let the clock carry you to your own spike. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Danger — Avoid Warwick | Q sustain and Blood Hunt frenzy out-heal your damage the moment you drop below half. Blood Hunt (W) attack speed plus Q healing out-sustains every trade pattern on top of that, so level 2 is a straight stat check Master Yi loses — never fight him while low — his W tracks your blood trail; disengage above 50%, and give the river vision-line respect. |
| Level 3 Route | Danger — Avoid Warwick | Warwick out-classes you at the opening scuttle — Eternal Hunger sustain means they win any fight where both sides arrive off full camps, and Q sustain and Blood Hunt frenzy out-heal your damage the moment you drop below half. Give up the level-3 river fight, full-clear away from them, and trade map pressure instead of health. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Respect Warwick — Path Opposite | Levels 4-5 still belong to Warwick in a straight fight — farm the opposite side, answer their ganks cross-map, and wait for your spike. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Highlander Favoured | Highlander's slow immunity plus Alpha resets snowball any post-6 cleanup, while Infinite Duress suppression plus Blood Hunt frenzy ends any duel that starts below full. You win the breakpoint against Warwick, not the whole game — cash it on the first objective after both sides hit six. |
| 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. Warwick's first item is where the healing stops being sustain and starts being more than your damage can out-pace. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Master Yi Favoured — Wins Late | Warwick falls off relative to you — from two items on you win the raw stat check, even though he suppresses a carry for the length of the fight and out-heals your answer. 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. Warwick clears fast and heals through everything off Eternal Hunger, so he is at full health at every crossing.
