How to win lane as Master Yi against Kassadin · 53.09% win rate over 194 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Kassadin | Kassadin's Null Sphere silence edges the level-1 trade. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | By 2 it evens as his weak pre-6 kit shows. |
| Level 3 | Master Yi | Your Wuju true damage crushes his level-3 lane. |
| Levels 4-5 | Master Yi | At 4-5 you out-DPS him hard before Riftwalk scales. |
| Level 6 | Master Yi | Even at 6 his early Riftwalk can't out-trade your R. |
| First item | Master Yi | Your first-item spike lands before his AP scaling. |
| Two+ items | Kassadin | Late, stacked Riftwalk lets Kassadin kite your Highlander. |
Level 1 Kassadin can still trade with Null Sphere's silence, but from level 2-3 onward you crush him; his pre-6 laning is famously the weakest window in the game.
