Sejuani vs Master Yi

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Sejuani controls early jungle tempo by mixing full clears with ganks around melee lane priority to deny Master Yi early tempo.
Focus on grouped fights and objective control to leverage Sejuani's strong engage and CC against Master Yi's scaling carry style.

Jungle Plan

Secure river control by contesting Scuttle when lane priority favors Sejuani and team can collapse for grouped fights.
Invade Master Yi's jungle only when lanes can move first or he is visible on the opposite side to capitalize on his weaker early dueling.
Prioritize objective setups like dragon and Rift Herald by establishing vision and using (R) to start fights before Master Yi can engage.

Danger windows

Master Yi's level 6 with (R) active creates high risk in isolated river or jungle fights without team backup.
Avoid fights after using mobility, Smite, or key defensive cooldowns to prevent being punished by Master Yi's resets.
Losing lane priority around Scuttle, dragon, or Herald forces cautious play as Master Yi can exploit vision gaps for resets.

Early game

Start pathing toward lanes with melee allies who can follow up on (E) to maximize early gank threat before Master Yi hits level 3.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority and can collapse quickly to avoid isolated fights.
Avoid direct early invades unless Master Yi is tracked on the opposite side or lanes can assist immediately.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for long-range engage, enabling Sejuani to initiate fights and objective control without overextending.
First completed tank item boosts durability and clear speed, allowing Sejuani to front line objective fights and absorb cooldowns.
Two completed items solidify Sejuani's frontline presence, making it safer to force grouped fights and deny Master Yi's isolated picks.

Win conditions

Translate jungle tempo into controlling dragon, Rift Herald, and vision around river to force grouped fights where Sejuani excels.
Deny Master Yi free farm and scaling by invading camps when lanes have priority and forcing him into unfavorable fights.
Use reliable CC chains with melee allies to create picks and secure objectives before Master Yi reaches item spikes.
