StandardMaster Yi Mid by 25shots — updated Jul 29, 2026
Alpha Strike goes boom(I'm open for suggestions)
Item Build
Starting Items
you start with 475g
You can start without potion if you know what u doin'
Core Build
Sounds like a wierd but Mana Jug is a great item for reset+ 20CDR(Do not underestimate cdr on Q) if they have 1 or 2 ap is already solid good. You get 60 AP, 40 Magic Resist, 20% Cooldown Reduction, and the missing mana regen scaling. It also gives you an restoration of health and mana. This stops you from being bursted down between your Alpha Strike animations.
If they have full Ad or 4 ad I do not recommend the item as a second. Insted buy Zhonyas or go Rabadon
Rabadon makes your Q explosive, With the Void Staff it becomes Nuclear.
Flex Items
Lich Bane is bait if you don't build it correclty. What do i mean by saying this? Unless they have 5 squishy OR you really REALLY need the Q+Auto to burst your target you end up losing a better item a Rabadon(for example). However, it scales really well mid/late game.
Observation: IF you're goin for Lich Bane you can get E at level 5 or 4.
Correct Lich Bane usage: In mid trade/fight after using Q land an auto wait for the Lich Bane reset and then press E, Auto and wait for the reset, press R then auto again. Wait for Q and get another proc. You can do any variations with this item. Don't forget to use DFG for max output damage.
Observation²: You can use your W to get a Lich Bane proc. However, W is not an Auto Reset instead is a fully functional defensive ability. So if you use it be sure that it is a guaranteed score
Zhonyas is really solid but i recommend if; you're getting perma CC. vs Heavy AD comp or if you are the one who is gonna start the Team Fight
Guardian Angel can be a MASSIVE item because you can jump without fear and if you die you got a second chance, i recomend as 5 or last item
Never tested : VS 5 AD you can try Iceborn 30 AP 70 Armor 500Mana(Oof more Q's and R's and W) And a slow
Feeling lucky?
On-hit Ap(Never tested before) 4fun
Who's gonna be the brave one?
Summoner Spells
Exhaust Is really good and you chop off 10 mr and armor from the target with the upgraded version.
Ignite is agressive and solid for kills and anti-heal, the +5 AP with the upgraded version while on Cdr is solid, don't be afraid to use it.
Surge is a really interesting one, 40% Attack Speed and 11-86 AP for 12 seconds. With the upgrade it increases the AP bonus by 10% and the attack speed by 5%
Skill Order
(Q)›(W)›(E)| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q | Q | Q | Q | Q | |||||||||||||
| W | W | W | W | W | |||||||||||||
| E | E | E | E | E | |||||||||||||
| R | R | R |
If you're goin for lich bane you can get E at level 5 or 4.

Introduction
What can i say is, pay attention to your mana you Q at level 5 is 100 Mana Your R is also 100 mana. You need a minimum of 250 to press Both of them in extreme scenarios and use a W.
Pay attention to minion wave and don't go gambling everytime with the thought: "I hope i get a bounce" you won't and you will get punished.
Farm the 3 melee minions and then press Q on the 3 caster minions left to get a 100% bounce on enemy champion in lane. The less minions the more the chance of a bounce
Can be played at Top too, but i suggest going AD if you are Top
Oh yes. Ban Gragas if you're Mid
Note: This isn't at any form a definitive guide. League Classic can be played in many ways. + I'm open for suggestions feedback etc feel free to comment and share thoughts.
Jungle Ap
If you decided to go AP YI Jungle you are clueless a.f.
You're gonna need Madred's Razor or else you fall behind and won't be able to farm any camp properly. His playstile while going AP in Jungle in basically like Evelynn/Elise. In other words perma gank. Focus on get some early kills and getting Level 6. Then gank more, perma gank and stay inside bush. Be sure to make enemy waste spells and come back to kill them (Yes annoying gameplay) USE DFG
Open for corrections on grammar etc..
If i forgot something i'll come back
Support
This is for those on opioids. Start with Tome into Lucky Pick. And try to get kills. Exhaust Flash
