YSS Meta Counter

As we know, this assassin/marksman is perfectly suited to the jungler role. He possesses very comprehensive and effective mechanics.

From high mobility, anti-crowd control (CC), speed farming, map awareness, physical burst, to stuns—he's got it all! It's no wonder he's still so popular.

Of all the mechanics mentioned above, VCGamers at least suggests that Land of Dawn players can counter them through three available options, namely:

1. Reduce/avoid his physical burst damage;
2. Avoiding his CC stun;
3. Locking the movement.

Based on these three points, VCGamers has formulated the following recommendations for the best spells, items, and heroes to counter this hero from the land of ginseng:

YSS Counter Spell

Moving on to spells, there are two options you can use to reduce the jungler's effectiveness. Feel free to choose one that suits your playstyle:

• Aegis: The shield (white blood) produced can provide additional sustain for damager heroes with low HP;
• Flicker: If you can get the timing right, you can easily avoid YSS's ultimate burst and stun;
• Purify: For those who have enough sustain and high mobility, Purify can be the right choice to escape the stun effect of YSS's ultimate.

YSS Counter Items

Based on the meta discussion above, there are several items that are quite effective for countering YSS. So, try to purchase them as soon as possible:

• Damage Reduction: With a damage output type like YSS, you can reduce it by using items like the Antique Cuirass. However, if it doesn't snowball in the early game, simply buy the material (Dreadnaught Armor).;
• Sustain booster: If you've moved towards the mid/late game, you can also use sustain booster items, either those that provide active skills (Wind of Nature and/or Winter Truncheon), or passive ones (Blood Wings, Immortality, and/or Queen's Wings).

Hero Counter YSS

Now, let's get straight to the most anticipated part: YSS counter heroes. Here's a complete list of all the lanes in the Land of Dawn:

Roamers:

1. Franco: His ultimate can provide surpress and is a counter for many assassin heroes;
2. Kaja: Not only Franco, Kaja's ultimate can also provide a suppress effect;
3. Kalea: Same as the two heroes above but with a much more terrifying impact!;
4. Saber: As long as the level gap isn't too far, Saber can immediately pick off YSS with one combo!

EXP Lane:

1. Chou: His ultimate can hold back YSS's movements;
2. Freya: Because he's overpowered, if it were a fist fight, YSS would definitely lose;
3. Guinevere: If it is lifted, YSS can immediately be helpless;
4. Masha: Her thick blood is difficult for YSS to gank.

Midlane:

1. Aurora: With tons of CC, she can lock down YSS's movements;
2. Valir: His ultimate skill can become a free Purify if he is stunned by YSS;
3. Zhask: To keep the war safe, Zhask could be the right choice.

Goldlane

1. Hanabi: With anti CC mechanics, she can avoid YSS stuns;
2. Ixia: Ixia's ultimate can only be blocked by large CC – YSS's stun isn't enough;
3. Miya: Her ultimate can prevent her from being ganked by YSS.

Jungler:

1. Gusion: As long as the combo is right, YSS can be defeated immediately;
2. Joy: With its mobility and magic damage, it's a natural counter to YSS;
3. Yin: As long as his ultimate and skill combos hit, Yin will win decisively against YSS;
