2900Kraken Slayer TIPS: This item combines Attack Damage, Attack Speed, and mobility, enhancing sustained basic attack damage. Every third attack deals bonus physical damage that increases as the enemy loses Health. An excellent choice for marksmen and other champions who rely on frequent basic attacks and want to finish off weakened targets more effectively.

3000The Collector TIPS: This item combines Attack Damage, Armor Penetration, and Critical Strike Chance, significantly improving your ability to finish off enemies.

An excellent choice for marksmen, assassins, and other AD champions focused on quickly eliminating weakened targets.BOOTS

1200Berserker's Greaves TIPS: These boots grant a significant boost to attack speed and movement speed, while empowering your basic attacks with on‑hit life steal. — A great pick for marksmen and auto‑attack bruisers who need mobility, rapid attack cadence, and constant sustain in fights.

2000Immortal Treds TIPS: These boots combine adaptive offensive power, sustain, and increased combat effectiveness. While above 50% Health, you deal increased damage, and when below 50% Health, you benefit from stronger healing and shielding to improve your survivability. The additional Omnivamp further restores Health from all damage you deal. They are an excellent choice for fighters, AP bruisers, and champions who want to balance offensive power with sustained durability throughout extended fights.
Increases Attack Speed and Movement Speed +50% Attack Speed +45 Move Speed
+5% LifestealNoxian Gait: Attacks against enemy champions grant Movement Speed (10% for melee champions / 7% for ranged champions) decaying over 2 seconds.
Blessed Blade: Attacks restore 12 Health on hit.
2200Gunmetal Greaves TIPS: These boots significantly increase Attack Speed while also providing Movement Speed and Lifesteal, making them well suited for champions who rely on frequent basic attacks. Attacking enemy champions temporarily increases Movement Speed, making it easier to chase and reposition, while each hit also restores Health. An excellent choice for auto-attackers who need mobility and consistent sustain in combat.TIPS: Finally, for your items, you should build Kraken Slayer (Deal bonus physical damage) as your first item, followed by Gluttonous Greaves (Grants Attack Damage and Omnivamp) or Berserker's Greaves (Grants Attack Speed) depending on the situation. (sometimes it will still be better to build a boot as the first item, which significantly increases the mobility of your champion) the third key element in our build is The Collector (Execute low health champions).
Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in Immortal Treds (Deal bonus damage or gain increased healing and shielding). You may want to replace it with Gunmetal Greaves (Increases Attack Speed and Movement Speed), it all depends on your playstyle and the situation on the battlefield.
The remaining last three items are situational, of course you can use the example builds above. But for a more effective game you will need to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.

2800Randuin's Omen TIPS: This item is built to counter crit-heavy builds. It provides a large health pool and armor while reducing damage from critical strikes, making you much tougher in head-on engagements. When you are critically struck, you gain stacks that boost your movement and slow resistance, helping you hold position and control fight spacing. — Perfect for tanks and bruisers who need to stand up to high-crit auto-attackers and survive extended teamfights.

01 / JUNGLE CLEAR / PATHING
full clear with a Blue Buff start
GANK
GANKThis Master Yi Jungle Path is a full jungle clear that starts on the Blue Sentinel. The goal is to kill the Blue Sentinel with (Q) ALPHA STRIKE, unlock (E) WUJU STYLE at level two and kill the Gromp & Wolves. This gives you level three, allowing you to unlock (W) MEDITATE. Next up head over to the Red Buff's side of the jungle and clear the Raptors, Red Brambleback and Krugs. These level you up to level four, allowing you to upgrade (Q) ALPHA STRIKE. Now you're able to go to the river to kill the Rift Scuttler. Afterwards, what most players do is gank and then recall or go for the second Rift Scuttler as well.
The Master Yi Jungle Clear explained above is great because it gives you longer Red Buff uptime for ganking and dueling the enemy jungler after your initial clear.
