Lore

Yi Sun-shin is the leader of the City of the Dragon fleet and he is dedicated to his duties. But the ruler of the City of the Dragon believed the false accusations and demoted Yi Sun-shin to a commoner. The fleet, without a leader, was hit hard by pirates. At this moment of crisis, Yi Sun-shin stepped forward and led the reformed fleet to defend this area of the sea and successfully defeated the strong pirates with the remaining naval force.

Counters

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.

Countered by

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.
