How to play 마스터 이
마스터 이 is a 4-cost 초능력 and 습격자 champion that usually plays as a frontline tank. Its main job is to stabilize the frontline and complete traits, so avoid leaving it as the only first target. 마스터 이 appears in NOVA YI and Contract Killer lines, so keep copies when those boards are open.

When to play 마스터 이
Consider playing around 마스터 이 when you can level cleanly and find key copies on the rolldown. For items, 스테락의 도전 and 수은 are strong signals that 마스터 이 can stay on the board. For team direction, it fits naturally when you are already moving toward NOVA YI and Contract Killer. If it stays one-star, the traits do not activate, or the items point elsewhere, treat it as a transition unit instead of forcing the line.

Why these items work
스테락의 도전, 수은 and 정의의 손길 are recommended. 스테락의 도전 gives a health spike so the unit survives the first focus window, 수은 protects the carry from early crowd control and 정의의 손길 gives flexible damage and healing. The point of the setup is to keep it alive long enough to cast and hold the frontline.

Item alternatives
When the perfect setup is not available, use 워모그의 갑옷, 거인의 결의, 굳건한 심장 and 밤의 끝자락 as substitutes. For frontline substitutes, prioritize durability, sustain, and opening damage reduction without stealing every carry item. If 마스터 이 is only a trait slot, one useful item is enough and the premium items should go to your real carry or main tank.
timeline
Early, mid, and late game
Early: play strongest board while keeping components that fit 마스터 이. Mid game: level toward the rolldown that can find a two-star copy. Late game: build around 초능력 and 습격자 and add either frontline, control, or secondary damage so the board is not one-dimensional.

Positioning tips
Place 마스터 이 in the first row on a side, or in the second row when it needs protection. It should enter combat quickly without eating every enemy attack at once. It starts with some mana, making the first cast timing important.
