Master Yi

The Wuju Bladesman

Blink rushdown with a counting puzzleResource: HighlanderDifficulty

A fast sword who blinks through your buttons and strikes twice on every fourth basic attack. His three Unique forms each land that Double Strike in a different shape (knockdown, bounce, or float), so where you land the double decides the route. Pick him if you like fast movement, crossup blinks, and combos you steer by counting.

Combo notes

Count first. Before each form, know your stack count: after 5L 5M (two stacks), 5U makes four, so the next basic is the double.
Bounce route (meterless one-leg best): 5L 5M 5U 6U 5L 5M 5H 2H jc j.M j.U j.H. The leap's double bounces, the chain restarts, and the next double on 2H refreshes Alpha for j.U.
Float: 5L 5U 2U jc j.L j.M j.U j.H. Three stacks make the slip the double, and it floats into the air chain.
Knockdown and pickup: 5L 5M 5H 5U lands the double as a hard knockdown. Add 6U 2U 2H jc j.M j.U j.H for a second leg.
Legs: the bounce is once per combo, so later legs use 5L 5M 5U 6U 2H (the leap double hands to the launcher) and end on 5L 5M 5U 236H.
Wuju first: routes that open a Wuju window early (6U, 623) deal more, because every later hit adds true damage.
Meter: his meter pays most when spent early. At 50, open with 5L 5M 5H 236EX 6U. At 100, open with 5L 5M 5H 236M Awakening jc.
Corner: 236H and Skybound wallstick.
