Read from Master Yi's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ornn.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ornn | Ornn's Brittle trades and tank base stats beat a level-1 Yi. |
| Level 2 | Ornn | Searing Charge knock-ups and Bellows Breath keep the early trades his. |
| Level 3 | Ornn | His armour and Brittle amplification hold lane control at 3. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | By levels 4-5 it becomes skill-based as your true damage cuts his armour. |
| Level 6 | Master Yi | At 6 your true-damage all-in beats him if you dodge his double knock-up, tipping it to you. |
| First item | Master Yi | Your first item lets Wuju Style out-DPS his tank scaling. |
| Two+ items | Master Yi | Highlander and true damage out-scale full-tank Ornn while you split away from his ult. |
Ornn wins the opening levels: Bellows Breath makes you Brittle so his follow-up hits harder, and Searing Charge knocks you up on any terrain — including the pillar his own Q leaves — so stay off walls and farm.
