How to Beat Yin — Strategy

Yin is a fighter. The same strategic principles that beat fighters in general apply to Yin specifically:

1. Kite them with ranged heroes — most fighters are short-range.
2. Build defensive items in mid-game (Blade Armor, Radiant Armor depending on damage type).
3. Don't fight in narrow choke points — fighters thrive there.
4. Anti-heal if they have lifesteal-based sustain (Yu Zhong, X.Borg, Alucard).
