| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Volibear | Q Thundering Smash's stun and Maul healing out-trade him from level 1. |
| Level 2 | Volibear | At 2 your empowered autos and sustain still beat his Meditate. |
| Level 3 | Volibear | Level 3 your run-down and healing keep him off the wave before items. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even - both of you scaling with no clean kill threat yet. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 Stormbringer's shield lets you force all-ins before his spike, but Highlander kiting keeps it a skill fight. |
| First item | Master Yi | His first item and Wuju true damage shred you through your healing. |
| Two+ items | Master Yi | Two-plus items give him true-damage melt and resets that out-scale you. |
Levels 1-3 you own the lane: Q Thundering Smash's stun opens every trade, Relentless Storm's empowered claws out-damage his itemless autos, and W Frenzied Maul's second bite heals more than his Meditate saves - keep the pressure on and tax him for every minion he approaches.
