build for Yi Sunshin

Assassin Emblem
Yi Sun-shin uses the Assassin Emblem for extra physical attack, movement speed, and penetration, helping him deal high burst damage and chase enemies more effectively.
Battle Spell
Yi Sun-shin uses **Retribution** to clear jungle faster, secure objectives, and gain an early game advantage as a core hero.
Early to Late Game
Yi Sun-shin excels from early to late game — he farms quickly in the early stage, dominates objectives in mid game, and delivers high burst damage to finish enemies in the late game.
Best With Floryn
100% co-op win rate
Floryn is compatible with Yi Sun-shin because her global healing and shield keep him alive during fights, letting him stay aggressive and continue dealing high burst damage without needing to retreat.
Watch Out For Chou
100% counter win rate
Chou is a perfect counter to Yi Sun-shin because his strong crowd control and mobility make it easy to catch and disable YSS before he can react.
