Kha'Zix vs Master Yi

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Kha'Zix's isolation burst and fog control to punish Master Yi's low early pressure and farming focus.
Manage river and jungle entrances to create picks before objectives, avoiding grouped fights where Yi thrives.

Jungle Plan

Path toward isolated camps and jungle entrances where you can find Master Yi alone to duel and punish his low early pressure.
Fight for first Scuttle only if your nearby lanes can move first and provide counter-gank support.
Use vision control to set up picks around dragon and Rift Herald before starting objectives, avoiding direct fights when enemy groups are tight.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights early where Master Yi can use (Q) untargetability and (W) damage reduction to survive.
Be cautious contesting objectives if lanes lack priority, as Master Yi can enter fights after CC is used and reset kills.
Watch for low-health clears where Master Yi's reset potential with (R) can turn fights against you.

Early game

Prioritize a clean first clear that leads to contesting Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early river fights without lane support to prevent being collapsed on by Master Yi or his teammates.
Use evolved (E) resets to maintain health and mobility during early jungle clears and skirmishes.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) stealth to reposition for isolated picks before Master Yi unlocks his chase reset threat.
After your first damage item, increase invade frequency to punish Master Yi's slower clear and low early dueling.
Respect Master Yi's level 6 (R) and item spikes by avoiding extended fights without vision and lane priority.

Win conditions

Convert isolation picks into objective control by securing vision and forcing Master Yi into grouped fights.
Use fog and evolved (E) resets to maintain tempo and counter-jungle Master Yi's farming path.
Deny Master Yi free farm by invading before his item spikes and snowball leads through skirmishes around dragon and Herald.
