Evelynn vs Master Yi

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Evelynn should avoid early fights and focus on clean full clears to reach level 6 safely before contesting.
Use stealth and post-6 camouflage to punish overextended lanes and create picks around objectives.
This is a scale vs scale jungle matchup where Evelynn's pick pressure post-6 is key to controlling objectives and denying Master Yi's tempo.

Jungle Plan

Full clear camps safely and avoid predictable paths to reduce invade risk before level 6.
Contest Scuttle only when your lanes can move first and provide vision control for safe river access.
After level 6, use camouflage to cross-map and flank pushed or isolated enemy lanes to force picks before objectives.

Danger windows

Early game low-health clears and river fights are dangerous; avoid these unless supported by lane priority.
Forced smite fights on Dragon or Rift Herald before level 6 favor Master Yi if you lack CC or vision.
Post-level 6, be cautious when (R) is up and enemy CC is down, as he can clean up skirmishes quickly.

Early game

Prioritize a full clear route that avoids low-health river paths vulnerable to invades.
Skip early Scuttle fights unless nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Track Master Yi's position to avoid early counter-invades and preserve your clear tempo.

Power spikes

At level 6, Evelynn's stealth and charm enable high-impact picks; use (W) charm to initiate and (R) to escape or finish.
(R) unlocks reset potential; respect his chase threat and avoid fights when his (R) is active.
Master Yi's first item spike increases his sustained damage; maintain jungle tempo to deny him clean farm and force fights before this point.

Win conditions

Survive early invade pressure by prioritizing safe full clears and avoiding risky river paths.
Use post-6 camouflage to create picks on overextended or isolated targets, converting kills into Dragon and Rift Herald control.
Deny Master Yi's scaling by tracking his jungle path and counter-jungling when he overextends or resets.
