HOW TO PLAY

Yin guide for Season 41

Yin is a Fighter / Assassin hero. They depend on choosing the right trades and turning a small lead into lane control. Its damage arrives in a short window.

GAME PLAN

Finish the first clear without wasting time and reach level 4 before forcing a play. A visit that earns no kill or enemy spell is a donated camp.

Play Turtle and Lord with Retribution available. Without vision or lane priority, concede or trade the objective.

Late in the game, do not reveal position too early. Wait for enemy crowd control and attack a back liner that can no longer escape.

Reference combo: S1 → S2 → AA. Practise the order, but do not force it while the target still has an escape.

BUILD
