Overview

Use Rek'Sai's very high early game pressure to disrupt Master Yi's farming tempo.
Leverage fast clears and high invade resistance to control river scuttle and early objectives.
Force fights before Master Yi hits key item and level 6 power spikes to deny scaling.

Control dragon and Rift Herald vision to force Master Yi into contested fights where your CC excels.

Start with a three-camp clear then look for early invade or counter-invade at level 3.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky isolated fights.

Exploit Rek'Sai's level 3 power spike with knockup and tunnels to secure kills or summoners.

Use Rek'Sai's early item power to contest objectives and duel before Master Yi completes his first major item.

Convert early tunnel ganks and invades into dragon and Rift Herald control to snowball lead.
