Master Yi vs Evelynn

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Master Yi is a scaling carry jungler who must avoid early fights and focus on farming to reach key item spikes.
Evelynn is a stealth assassin with low early invade resistance and limited pre-6 pressure, making early river fights risky for Master Yi.
Prioritize safe clears and cross-map camp trades to maintain tempo and avoid Evelynn's early invade attempts.

Jungle Plan

Execute full clears and trade camps cross-map to maintain item tempo and avoid early duels.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first and provide counter-gank support.
Use vision control to deny Evelynn safe post-6 flank routes and secure early dragons and Rift Herald when tempo allows.

Danger windows

Avoid early river fights before level 6 when Evelynn's invade resistance is low but she can be punished with counter-ganks.
Be cautious during low-health clears and forced smite fights where Evelynn can exploit charm (W) to lock down and burst.
Respect Evelynn's post-6 camouflage and charm (W) for flank attempts around objectives and isolated skirmishes.

Early game

Start with a full clear to hit safe reset timing and item progress before contesting river.
Avoid early Scuttle fights unless nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Track Evelynn's pathing carefully and avoid predictable low-health river paths to reduce risk of being counter-invaded.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to chase resets after Evelynn commits her charm (W) or other CC.
First item spike boosts sustained damage and objective speed; maintain camp tempo to reach this efficiently.
Respect Evelynn's stealth and charm (W) post-6, avoiding fights where she can flank or pick isolated targets.

Win conditions

Use efficient full clears and cross-map camp trades to reach item spikes faster than Evelynn.
Punish Evelynn's early jungle pathing mistakes by invading when lanes have priority and counter-gank her first pressure.
Leverage (R) reset potential to clean up low-health fights after enemy CC is used and secure objectives with superior damage output.
