Yin-yang GeomancerLuo Yi alternates Yin and Yang sigils, triggering Duality when opposite marks meet. Rotation and Dispersion can pull and damage several enemies, while Diversion relocates the entire team when everyone commits to the plan.
DATA REVIEWED 13.10.2026 · PATCH 2.2.16
HOW TO PLAY
Apply opposite colours to the wave and enemy hero to trigger Duality from range. Change Dispersion's order so opponents cannot always predict the next sigil.
Prepare Rotation at Turtle entrances and communicate Diversion before channelling. A dramatic teleport used only by Luo Yi usually becomes a free kill.
Around Lord, keep Diversion for a side switch, a surprise defence or an extraction. Do not turn it into a blind engage while Natalia or Hanzo are missing.

Luo Yi's skills apply Yin and Yang Sigils that last for up to 6 seconds. When heroes with opposite Sigils come close to each other, Yin-Yang Reaction deals 365 Magic Damage, stuns them for 1 second, and pulls them together. Applying a new Sigil to an already marked hero grants Luo Yi a shield, up to 3 stacks, and 30% Movement Speed that decays over 2 seconds.
Luo Yi fires Yin or Yang energy in the target direction, dealing 210–410 Magic Damage to the first enemy hit and enemies behind them in a cone. Enemy heroes are marked with the corresponding Sigil. Luo Yi stores up to 4 charges, gains one every 8 seconds, and recovers another whenever Yin-Yang Reaction triggers. The skill alternates between Yin and Yang after each cast.
Luo Yi summons Fire of Yang or Aqua of Yin at the target location, dealing 250–350 Magic Damage to enemies hit and slowing them by 60% for 0.5 seconds. The field remains for 6 seconds and deals 50–70 Magic Damage every 0.7 seconds. It can also trigger Yin-Yang Reaction when it touches an enemy carrying the opposite mark. The state of this skill changes after each cast.
Active: Luo Yi creates a Teleport Circle around herself and marks target location (within 20 units) as its destination. After a 3-second delay, allied heroes (including herself) within the Circle will be teleported to the location. Passive: Luo Yi’s Cooldown Reduction is increased by 6%–10%.

QUICK ANSWERS
Luo Yi is currently played mainly in Mid Lane. The guide separates the recommended builds by lane or job, so choose that tab before copying the six items.
Start with «Mid CDR Burn Control». The other options, «Penetration Burst» and «Anti-Dive Safety», are there for a different lane or match-up; they are not cosmetic variations.
Natalia, Benedetta and Helcurt are the first counters to consider. Marcel can disrupt the space Luo Yi needs, while Natalia reaches her before the sigils are prepared.
