Born from the balance of Yin and Yang,Mobile Legends: Bang Banghero Luo Yi wields the ancient power of geomancy to shape the battlefield and restore harmony.
Known as the Yin-Yang Geomancer, she is a versatile mage with a unique skill set. The most interesting part of her kit is her ultimate, Diversion. Different from Arrival, it teleports all allies within the circle to a location of her choosing.
With her mastery over the dual forces of Yin and Yang, Luo Yi brings both control and chaos to her enemies, making her a formidable presence in any match.
In this ONE Esports guide, we dive deeper into her abilities, strategies, and the best build to maximize her potential in the game.
Luo Yi’s skills in Mobile Legends
Passive – Duality
Luo Yi’s skills can create Sigils of Yin/Yang on the battlefield. Each Sigil lasts up to several seconds. Sigils of opposite attributes will trigger Yin-Yang Reaction when they are within a certain distance, dealing magic damage to the marked enemies, stunning them for a second, and pulling them toward each other.
Each time she applies a new Sigil to a marked enemy, she gains a shield and extra movement speed that decays in a few seconds.
First skill – Dispersion
Luo Yi casts the energy of Yin/Yang in the target direction, dealing magic damage to the first enemy hit and those behind them in a fan-shaped area. Enemy heroes hit are marked with a Sigil of Yin/Yang.
She stores up to four Dispersion charges and gains a charge every eight seconds. She also immediately gains a charge each time Yin-Yang Reaction is triggered.
The state of this skill changes on each cast.
Second skill – Rotation
Luo Yi summons Fire of Yang/Aqua of Yin at the target location, dealing magic damage to enemies hit and slowing them for a moment.
Fire of Yan/Aqua of Yin then remains at the location for several seconds, dealing magic damage to nearby enemies. It can also trigger Yin-Yang Reaction with Sigils of opposite attributes.
Ultimate – Diversion
Luo Yi creates a Teleport Circle around herself and marks the target location as its destination. After a delay, allied heroes (including herself) within the Circle will be teleported to the location.
A comprehensive guide on how to play Luo Yi in Mobile Legends
Recommended battle spell
Flicker provides enhanced mobility, allowing you to reposition during fights, escape from assassins, or engage strategically to land your Yin-Yang Reaction combos.
As a low-HP hero vulnerable to burst damage, Flicker is invaluable for survival and making impactful plays in team fights.
On the other hand, Flameshot offers additional burst damage and utility, complementing Luo Yi’s long-range playstyle.
The spell’s knockback effect can disrupt diving enemies or push targets into your Yin-Yang Reaction for added control. Flameshot also gives her the ability to poke enemies from afar or secure kills on low-health targets, especially in the early and mid-game.
Recommended emblem
The most optimal choice is the Mage emblem. It grants significant Magic Power and Magic Penetration.
Additionally, since Luo Yi’s main damage relies on combos, you can greatly benefit from the emblem’s cooldown reduction.
Take Rupture in the first tier for additional penetration, and Bargain Hunter in the second tier to reduce equipment cost, allowing you to quickly acquire your core items.
Alternatively, you may choose Weapons Master if you want to gain extra magic power from your emblem and items.
Complete your emblem setup with Lethal Ignition. This allows you to inflict scorch damage when you deal damage to enemy heroes multiple times.
Luo Yi best build
Enchanted Talisman is a core item for Luo Yi, as it grants immense cooldown reduction and mana regeneration. Alternatively, you can purchase Clock of Destiny for additional mana and magic power.
A mage who doesn’t do upfront burst damage, purchase Blood Wings and Glowing Wand to ensure every spell counts.
Finish your build with more magic items, such asDivine Glaiveand Holy Crystal. These items boost your Magic Penetration and Magic Power, enhancing your kill potential in the late game.
The best build for Luo Yi in Mobile Legends
Easy combos to learn
Manipulating Yin Yang, triggering Duality consistently and working around her AoE spells are the true marks of a good Luo Yi player.
Therefore, before going into a fight, prepare your Dispersion and Rotation spells so that you have one dark and one light. It’s better to start with Dispersion as it has charges, giving you some room for error.
As a low-HP hero, assassins who possess abilities that can dodge your spells will halt your Yin/Yang combo.
Even if assassins get stunned for a second, they can still continue to jump on Luo Yi for the kill. Having a tank who knows how to peel for her is paramount against divers.
To really take advantage of Luo Yi’s trademark, Diversion, it is highly recommended that you play and communicate with friends together in a team to impact the map, for it is difficult to maximize this skill when playing alone.
