How to win lane as Kassadin against Master Yi · 46.91% win rate (194 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Kassadin's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Master Yi.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Kassadin | Your Null Sphere out-ranges Alpha Strike 650 to 600 and returns twice as fast. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | By 2 it evens out as your weak pre-6 kit starts to show. |
| Level 3 | Master Yi | Wuju Style's true damage crushes your level 3. |
| Levels 4-5 | Master Yi | At 4-5 he out-DPSes you, and Meditate heals back whatever you land. |
| Level 6 | Master Yi | Even at 6, Riftwalk cannot out-trade a slow-immune Highlander. |
| First item | Master Yi | His first-item spike lands well before your AP scaling does. |
| Two+ items | Kassadin | Late, stacked Riftwalk blinks past Highlander — slows won't, blinks do. |
Take the level-1 trade — Null Sphere reaches 650 to Alpha Strike's 600 and returns in 9s to his 20 — then swallow your pride, because from 3 on Wuju Style's true damage ignores every resistance you own. Farm at max range, ward early, and treat any extended trade from 3 to 5 as volunteered.
