Lee Sin
Blind Monk · Protected threat · Intermediate
CalmSustain
BodyStatsLee Sin centers on building a strong unit, protecting it, and converting clean combat into battlefield control.
Playstyle
Body provides the threat and Calm keeps it alive. Lee Sin rewards players who know when to commit buffs and when to leave resources open.
Strengths
- Strong with buffs
- Good defensive tools
- Excellent at repeated fair fights
Watch Outs
- Can lose momentum if the key unit dies
- Needs careful resource timing
- May be slower than pure aggro
Game Plan
- 1Early: establish cards that support the Calm / Body identity.
- 2Midgame: set up durable turns and preserve key units while using Body cards to keep the plan stable.
- 3Late: convert the strongest battlefield position into Hold points instead of chasing every fight.
Pick Lee Sin if you enjoy protecting one important fighter and winning through disciplined combat.
