Overview

Prioritize controlled first clears and avoid early river fights without lane priority to survive Master Yi's early dueling attempts.
Focus on using your strong crowd control and teamfight lockdown to force grouped fights around objectives later in the game.

Jungle Plan

Execute full clears to maintain steady tempo and only contest Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky fights.
Look for counter-gank opportunities by tracking Master Yi's pathing and coordinate with lanes that can follow your (Q) engage.
Use your (R) area lockdown to secure dragons and Rift Herald when Master Yi is forced off or after key enemy crowd control is used.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before you have tank stats and teammates nearby, as Master Yi can punish early dueling weaknesses.
Be cautious around forced smite fights and objective setups where Master Yi's resets can turn fights if your crowd control is used prematurely.
Respect moments when Master Yi activates (R) and targets low-health allies to start reset chains; avoid engaging without backup.

Early game

Start with a full clear or three-camp path toward a lane that can follow your (Q) engage for early ganks.
Use defensive wards on jungle entrances to protect your first clear from Master Yi's early invades.
Avoid fighting Master Yi early in the river unless your lanes have clear priority and can back you up.

Power spikes

At level 6, use your (Q) and (R) combo to initiate and force grouped fights, denying Master Yi's reset potential.
Respect Master Yi's level 6 (R) spike as he gains chase and reset threat; engage only after key enemy crowd control is committed.
Keep camp tempo high to deny Master Yi his first item spike and reduce his ability to clean up fights.

Win conditions

Survive early jungle pressure by protecting your first clear and avoiding unfavorable fights.
Convert level 6 into objective control by using (Q) and (R) to lock down enemies in dragon, Rift Herald, or Void Grubs fights.
Use your crowd control to enable teammates' follow-up and deny Master Yi free scaling by contesting camps and objectives effectively.
