Thrill · Weapons Master · Lethal Ignition

Spell

Retribution

Sinergias

Mathilda

Rafaela

Yin works best with Supports that can enhance his mobility, such as Mathilda and Rafaela to help him get to the enemy and eliminate key targets.

Vantagem contra

Layla

Cecilion

Yin counters squishy heroes without Blink skills like Layla and Cecilion because they will have a hard time dodging his Golden Rings. Once they are stunned or trapped in his Ultimate, Yin can easily finish them off.

Cuidado contra

Fredrinn

Badang

Yin is countered by Fighters that can interrupt skills, such as Fredrinn and Badang, because they can easily interrupt his Ultimate during the initial delay. These heroes can also hold their own in a duel, making them risky targets for Yin's Ultimate.

ABILITIES

Leave It to Me

If there are no allied heroes within 4 units of Yin, his damage is increased to 120% and he gains 8% Spell Vamp.

Charged Punch

CD: 10

Yin gains 60% extra Movement Speed (decays over 3s). During this time, his next Basic Attack will be enhanced, dealing 25 (+100% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage . If the enhanced Basic Attack hits an enemy, Yin throws a charged punch forward, dealing 360 (+200% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in its path. Successfully throwing the charged punch reduces the skill's cooldown by 35%.

Instant Blast

Yin dashes forward, leaving a Golden Ring behind while dealing 75 (+35% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies along the way. He gains 30% extra Damage Reduction for 4s if an enemy hero is hit. After 1s, the Golden Ring will catch up with Yin, dealing 150 (+70% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies it passes through and stunning them for 1s.

My Turn

CD: 52

After a short delay, Yin locks onto an enemy hero ( cannot lock onto pets or clones ) and pulls them into a domain for up to 8s and turns into Lieh . When in the domain, the two cannot be affected by other heroes' skills. Lieh has stronger skills and 50 extra and that last 8s. The domain will end early if either of the two is killed. If Lieh successfully kills the enemy, he'll recover 20% of his Max HP, leave the domain with the cooldowns of Frenzy Strike and Instant Blast reset, and continue to fight as Lieh for 8s. If Yin fails to pull his target into the domain, the skill will enter a 3s cooldown.

LANE TIPS

General lane advice, not professional player guides. Source item and ability descriptions may be in English.

1
In the jungle, track Turtle and Lord timers and save Retribution to contest objectives.
2
In EXP Lane, manage the wave before rotating and pressure the opposite side when your team contests an objective.
3
Adapt the remaining build slots to enemy damage and healing; do not buy the same items every match.
4
Before engaging, check which enemies are visible on the minimap and wait for key crowd-control abilities to be used.
