Double Strike

Double Strike

Innate: Master Yi's basic attacks on-hit grant a stack of Double Strike for 4 seconds, stacking up to 3 times, with the duration refreshing on subsequent attacks. At 3 stacks, Master Yi's next basic attack on-hit consumes the stacks to strike twice, the second strike dealing 50% AD physical damage.

The second strike applies on-hit and on-attack effects at 100% effectiveness and is affected by critical strike modifiers.

If Master Yi's primary target is killed before the second strike, he automatically attacks another enemy within 300 range.

The second strike can critically strike structures.

• Since Double Strike resets the counter on-attack and the second strike applies on-hit effects, the second strike is able to add a stack for the next Double Strike activation.
• If Double Strike's target becomes untargetable shortly after the triggering attack, it will still occur and deal its effects as usual.

Alpha Strike

Alpha Strike
TARGET RANGE:	600
EFFECT RADIUS:	600
CAST TIME:	none
COST:	50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 Mana
COOLDOWN:	18 / 17.5 / 17 / 16.5 / 16

Active: Master Yi vanishes and becomes unable to act and, after 0.231 seconds, marks the target enemy and then moves to mark the nearest visible un-marked enemy within 600 units, recurring up to 3 times, once every 0.231 seconds.

Upon finishing marking, or if there are no longer any targetable enemies, he reappears and becomes able to act again 「 after 0.165 seconds 」「 1.087 seconds after the start of the cast with 4 bounces 」in front of the target and deals physical damage to all marked enemies, increased against monsters. If the target dies or gets too far away during the delay, he will reappear at the cast location instead.

Physical Damage: 25 / 60 / 95 / 130 / 165 (+ 90% AD) Monster Damage: 100 / 160 / 220 / 280 / 340 (+ 90% AD) Monster Bonus Damage: 75 / 100 / 125 / 150 / 175

If there are no other un-marked enemies in range, he may strike the same enemies again, dealing 25% damage instantly.

Reduced Damage: 6.25 / 15 / 23.75 / 32.5 / 41.25 (+ 22.5% AD) Reduced Monster Damage: 25 / 40 / 55 / 70 / 85 (+ 22.5% AD) Maximum Single-Target Damage: 43.75 / 105 / 166.25 / 227.5 / 288.75 (+ 157.5% AD) Max Monster Single-Target Damage: 175 / 280 / 385 / 490 / 595 (+ 157.5% AD)

Alpha Strike's primary and lesser damage can critically strike for (54% +  18.9%) AD bonus physical damage and (13.5% +  4.725%) AD bonus physical damage respectively.

Basic attacks on-hit reduce Alpha Strike's  cooldown by 1 second.

• Alpha Strike's primary damage applies after Master Yi reappears.
• Alpha Strike's  cooldown reduction applies on structures but not when Master Yi is blinded.
• When Master Yi bounces from a unit it will grant vision in a 600 radius around it for up-until 0.627 seconds after Alpha Strike ends, including across terrain, though not into brushes. It will always grant vision around the primary target even if he doesn't bounce off it.
• Alpha Strike's damage is calculated the moment the mark is placed. Because of this it is possible to inflict differing amounts of damage if Master Yi changes his AD in the middle of Alpha Strike.
• Master Yi will follow all his primary target's movements.
  • Alpha Strike can only follow up-to 2000 units; If the target teleports a very long distance, it will not be followed.
• If the primary target becomes untargetable and there are no other nearby valid targets, Alpha Strike will end prematurely and will not deal the damage occurring after Master Yi's reappearance.
• If the primary target is a champion Master Yi will automatically attack it once Alpha Strike ends, and thus Master Yi will not be able to buffer other abilities.^(bug)
• Spell shield will only block a single instance of damage.
• If Master Yi dies during Alpha Strike and he is only focusing one target, the ability will only deal the reduced damage strikes and not the final tick of damage from reappearing.
  • If he is striking multiple targets the damage will be dealt immediately when dying, and if he dies before the bounce from the last target, Alpha Strike will deal reduced damage only to all units he already bounced from.^(bug)
• If Master Yi enters resurrection during Alpha Strike and he is only focusing one target, the ability will deal the reduced damage strikes as normal and the final tick of damage after being resurrected.
  • If he is striking multiple targets, Alpha Strike will sometimes deal the reduced damage from repeated bounces and the main damage after being resurrected, and sometimes only the reduced damage, unrelated to the number of targets available.^(bug)

Meditate

Meditate
CAST TIME:	none
COST:	50 Mana
COOLDOWN:	28

Active: Master Yi channels for up to 4 seconds, healing himself every 0.5 seconds, increased by 0% − 100% (based on missing health).

Minimum Healing Per Half Second: 15 / 25 / 35 / 45 / 55 (+ 12.5% AP) Maximum Healing Per Half Second: 30 / 50 / 70 / 90 / 110 (+ 25% AP) Minimum Total Healing: 120 / 200 / 280 / 360 / 440 (+ 100% AP) Maximum Total Healing: 240 / 400 / 560 / 720 / 880 (+ 200% AP)

While channeling, Master Yi gains damage reduction, halved against turrets, pauses Wuju Style's and Highlander's duration, and gains one stack of Double Strike per second.

Damage Reduction: 60 / 62.5 / 65 / 67.5 / 70% Turret Damage Reduction: 30 / 31.25 / 32.5 / 33.75 / 35%

If the channel is cancelled, Master Yi reduces incoming damage for another 0.25 seconds, with lesser effectiveness against non-turret damage but greater effectiveness vs turret damage. ^(bug)

Post-Channel Damage Reduction: 40 / 37.5 / 35 / 32.5 / 30% Post-Channel Turret Damage Reduction: 70 / 68.75 / 67.5 / 66.25 / 65%
