Nunu & Willump vs Master Yi

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use early jungle pressure and superior clear speed to deny Master Yi free farm and delay his scaling.
Control river vision and scuttle crabs to limit Master Yi's safe pathing and reduce his gank threat.
Focus on objective control and coordinated ganks to leverage your crowd control and utility against Master Yi's weaker early dueling.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize invading and contesting camps when Master Yi shows on the opposite side or after successful ganks.
Fight for first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority and can assist in skirmishes.
Use (W) angles from fog to gank lanes repeatedly and convert kills into early dragon or Rift Herald starts.

Danger windows

Beware Master Yi's post-level 6 all-in potential when (R) is available and he can reset fights.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision as Master Yi can punish with quick engages and resets.
Respect forced smite fights near objectives if you lack lane priority, backup, or your key cooldowns.

Early game

Start with a fast clear path targeting early scuttle to secure vision and deny Master Yi river access.
Avoid isolated 1v1 fights unless Master Yi's mobility cooldowns are down or he is out of position.
Counter-invade when Master Yi commits to one side, using your stronger early presence and lane priority to back you up.

Power spikes

Exploit your (Q) plus Smite power spike at first dragon or Herald spawn by forcing early objectives when lanes have priority.
Use level 6 (R) to zone and burst enemies caught in your CC chain, especially in objective fights.
Respect Master Yi's level 6 and first item spikes by avoiding extended fights and disengaging when his ultimate is active.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo into repeated invades to starve Master Yi and deny his scaling.
Control vision around dragons and Rift Herald to set up fights where your CC can lock down Master Yi.
Coordinate ganks and objective pressure to collapse on Master Yi during his cooldown windows and snowball leads.
