Shen Long, Mei Feng, McCabe and Lynch are the best masters, or they have the tools to deal with most crews at their disposal.
Misaki is decent. But she is very easy to counter with anti melee crews (Like Hamelin) or models like Hannah and Nurse Heartsbane.
Yan Lo isn't good. He just isn't. I've never played a game with him, where I wouldn't have done better with the exact same crew and literally any other master in TT. He's low damage. Chi is hard to come by and it's needed for almost everything he needs to do. Lightning dance is alright as is the spirit thing he can do, but when you add it all up, he's just not up to par.
I haven't tried Brewmaster yet.
