Yin
Yin, the Martial Genius, is a fighter who plays in the Jungle.
Also known as Martial Genius
Lore
Among the four renowned members of Forsaken Light, one young man from the East stands out. Known as Yin, this simple and righteous martial artist sometimes exudes a sinister aura, creating a stark contrast that leaves many wary of him. Few know that his wild and violent behaviour stems from the Evil God, Lieh, dwelling within him. He is the reason Yin left his home in the Cadia Riverlands—to hone himself in the Land of Dawn and find a way to defeat Lieh. But Yin's struggles in this foreign land have had the opposite effect; as a being that thrives on chaos, the more Yin fights, the faster Lieh can recover his power. Thus, Lieh began to impart his power to Yin, watching him sink deeper into madness with each act of righteousness and chivalry, and leading him toward the self-destruction Lieh desires. However, even knowing the risks, Yin continues to wield this power—because for him, abandoning his code and ignoring the suffering of others would make him no better than Lieh. Yin never backs down from a challenge, god or no god.

Yin gains 60% extra Movement Speed (decays over 3s). During this time, his next Basic Attack will be enhanced, dealing 25 (+100% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage. If the enhanced Basic Attack hits an enemy, Yin throws a charged punch forward, dealing 360 (+200% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in its path. Successfully throwing the charged punch reduces the skill's cooldown by 35%.
Lieh
Frenzy Strike
Burst
Lieh smashes enemies forward 9 times. During this time, he is immune to control effects, and his smashing speed gradually increases. Each smash deals 120 (+100% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage and slows enemies by 75% for 0.2s. After 0.8s, Lieh can move or cast skills to cancel the skill early.

CD 52
My Turn
CCBuff
After a short delay, Yin locks onto an enemy hero (cannot lock onto pets or clones) and pulls them into a domain for up to 8s and turns into Lieh. When in the domain, the two cannot be affected by other heroes' skills. Lieh has stronger skills and 50 extra and that last 8s. The domain will end early if either of the two is killed. If Lieh successfully kills the enemy, he'll recover 20% of his Max HP, leave the domain with the cooldowns of Frenzy Strike and Instant Blast reset, and continue to fight as Lieh for 8s. If Yin fails to pull his target into the domain, the skill will enter a 3s cooldown.
Counter / cooperate relationship
Matchups
Counters
Yin counters squishy heroes without Blink skills like Layla and Cecilion because they will have a hard time dodging his Golden Rings. Once they are stunned or trapped in his Ultimate, Yin can easily finish them off.
Layla
CecilionCountered by
Yin is countered by Fighters that can interrupt skills, such as Fredrinn and Badang, because they can easily interrupt his Ultimate during the initial delay. These heroes can also hold their own in a duel, making them risky targets for Yin's Ultimate.

LANING COMBOS
In the laning phase, Yin should use his 1st Skill to gain Movement Speed, then use his 2nd Skill to dash behind the enemy so the Golden Rings will stun them on their return, and end with his enhanced Basic Attack.
