PsyOps Master Yi turns the Wuju swordsman into a covert psychic agent with a sleek black tactical suit, white plating, red wiring, and a glowing multi-lens visor, replacing his base cloth and simple sword with a cyber-enhanced blade that looks sharp and metallic. In-game, the skin reads darker and more high-tech than the base, with clean materials, crisp edge highlights, and subtle red lights that sell the covert-ops look without clutter. His abilities switch from warm gold to a tri-color psionic palette, using chromatic aberration, glitch trails, scanlines, and neon edges so Alpha Strike, Meditate, and Highlander feel fast, synthetic, and slightly unstable, matching the sci-fi theme.
The sound design supports the look with processed swishes, digital hums, and a radio-psionic filter on his voice, so the kit has a colder and more surgical tone than the base. The recall leans into the operation vibe with a short display of psionic energy and tech UI flair, and the overall feel is clean, punchy, and easy to read in fights. PsyOps launched during the PsyOps event and references classic espionage sci-fi with glitch motifs, scanlines, and psychic warfare aesthetics rather than fantasy Wuju. The skin has 8 chromas—Emerald, Hunter, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sandstone, Sapphire, Tanzanite, and Turquoise—so you can shift the armor panels and glow colors to taste.
Release date: September 3, 2020, as part of the PsyOps event drop. Master Yi also received a broader visual update back in Patch 3.10 (2013) that refreshed his base model, textures, VFX/SFX, lore, voiceover, and animations; some later polish to SFX/VFX volumes and clarity may have landed across patches, but exact notes vary on community wikis.
PsyOps is a paramilitary, psychic-espionage thematic that blends black-ops hardware with mind-bending psionics and crystalline hard-light effects. Set decades after Arctic Ops, covert units clash over an alien “gate,” fielding operatives whose abilities weaponize thought itself.
PsyOps Master Yi is not rare; it’s a standard 1350 RP store skin, so it’s categorized as Common, though accounts with a full PsyOps set may appeal to collectors; if you want an account that already has it, check out Buy LoL Skin Accounts.
Yes, you can get it from Hextech Crafting by upgrading a skin shard or through Mystery Gifts because it isn’t Legacy, and you can also find accounts with the skin already unlocked on LoL Accounts, Buy LoL Accounts.
PsyOps is a strong modern pick with clean VFX and a sharp tactical style, but many players still prefer PROJECT: Yi for its legendary-level model and voice treatment or Cosmic Blade Yi for its elegant blue-gold fantasy look; compare them on All Master Yi Skins.
Legacy skins are still obtainable thanks to our high end account store which features League of Legends accounts with the rarest skins at the best prices.
