Yin works best with Supports that can enhance his mobility, such as Mathilda and Rafaela to help him get to the enemy and eliminate key targets.
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.

Instant Blast
Leave It to Me
Charged Punch
A young martial artist on a journey to defeat the Evil God that dwells within him.
If there are no allied heroes within 4 units of Yin, his damage is increased to 120% and he gains 8% Spell Vamp.
Yin gains 60% extra Movement Speed (decays over 3s). Yin can launch an enhanced Basic Attack that deals 25 (+100% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage within the duration. Upon hitting an enemy with the enhanced Basic Attack, Yin will throw another charged punch forward, dealing 360 (+200% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in the path. Successfully throwing the charged punch reduces the skill's cooldown by 35%.
Yin dashes forward, leaving a Golden Ring behind while dealing 75 (+35% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies along the way. He gains 30% extra Damage Reduction for 4s if an enemy hero is hit. After 1s, the Golden Ring will catch up with Yin, dealing 150 (+70% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies it passes through and stunning them for 1s.
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 Physical & Magic Defense 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.
If there are no allied heroes within 4 units of Yin, his damage is increased to 120% and he gains 8% Spell Vamp.
Lieh smashes an area ahead up to 9 times, each smash dealing 130 (+110% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies hit and slowing them by 75% for 0.2s. Lieh is immune to control effects for the duration, while the smashing speed will gradually increase. The first half of the attacks will automatically lock onto nearby enemies, while the latter half cannot change directions. Lieh can move or cast other skills during the latter half to cancel the skill early.
Lieh strikes a flying kick forward, leaving a Golden Ring behind while dealing 75 (+35% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies along the way. Enemies hit will also be knocked back slightly. He gains 30% extra Damage Reduction for 4s if an enemy hero is hit. After 1s, the Golden Ring will catch up with Lieh, dealing 150 (+70% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies it passes through and stunning them for 1s.

Yin should use his 1st Skill to gain Movement Speed and then his 2nd Skill to get close to a key enemy and hit them with his enhanced Basic Attack before trapping them in his Ultimate. In Lieh form, use his 2nd Skill to stun the enemy and finish them off with his 1st Skill.

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.

Blade of Despair
I chose this build to maximize both damage output and survivability for an assassin who needs to quickly eliminate enemies and stay mobile during fights. Magic Boots Because These boots give additional movement speed and magic resistance, helping you move around the map faster while reducing magic damage taken. Blade of the Heptaseas Because This item provides physical attack, cooldown reduction, and a passive that deals extra damage on the first basic attack after using a skill, boosting your burst damage. Malefic Roar Because This item increases physical penetration, allowing you to deal more damage to enemies with high armor, which is crucial for taking down tanky opponents. Hunter Strike Because This item gives physical attack, cooldown reduction, and a unique passive that grants extra movement speed after hitting enemies, enhancing your chase and escape potential. Sea Halberd because This item applies a healing reduction debuff on enemies, making it effective against heroes who rely on lifesteal or regeneration, increasing your kill potential. Blade of Despair because One of the highest physical attack items in the game, it significantly boosts your damage, especially against enemies with low health, perfect for finishing off targets quickly. Together, these items balance burst damage, armor penetration, cooldown reduction, and survivability, making your assassin build effective in both chasing down enemies and surviving team fights.
Flicker · Mobility
Thrill
Master Assassin
Lethal Ignition
I chose the Assassin Emblem set because it perfectly enhances my playstyle as a high-damage, fast-moving assassin. Thrill gives me extra benefits when I engage in fights, helping me stay aggressive and capitalize on kills. Master Assassin boosts my damage output, allowing me to eliminate enemies quickly and efficiently. Lethal Ignition adds extra burst damage, maximizing my ability to take down opponents in a short time. Together, these talents increase my burst damage, mobility, and effectiveness in fights, making me a deadly and efficient assassin who can pressure enemies constantly.

Using this emblem could help you chase down enemies and using killing spree might also help you in harsh situations like usually when you ult someone from the enemy team the usual thing they do is wait for you is to wait outside and ******** but thats not the problem when you kill he enemy which you had in your ult you can either fight more to get more hp back or run away because of the movement speed buff of killing spree
Feel free try to try for yourself and dominate everyone game
