Yi Sun-shin – Counters

Weak against (counters)

Yi Sun-shin is countered by heroes with CC skills, such as Franco and Kaja who can lock him down and stop him from freely swapping weapons.

Strong against

Yi Sun-shin counters heroes that lack CC like Uranus and Terizla who are at the mercy of his ability to jump in and out of melee range using his 2 weapons.

Best partners

Yi Sun-shin works best with Fighters who can initiate, such as Alpha and Khaleed, so he can follow up and unleash his full damage after they have CC'd the enemy.
