Matchup tips

From Riot Games

Playing against Yasuo

  • Steel Tempest is very narrow. Dodge laterally if possible.
  • When Yasuo lands two Steel Tempests in a row, his next will fire a tornado. Watch and listen for the associated sound to prepare to dodge.
  • Yasuo is at his weakest just after he has launched a whirlwind. Engage at that point.
  • Yasuo's shield from Resolve lasts only 2 seconds. Dealing damage to him will trigger it. Wait it out, then engage.

Playing as Yasuo

  • Dash through a minion to have Sweeping Blade available to chase your opponent should they flee; Dash directly to your opponent to preserve a minion as your escape route.
  • At level 18, Yasuo's Steel Tempest reaches its Attack Speed cap with 55% Attack Speed from items.
  • Last Breath can be cast on any target that is knocked Airborne, even by one of your allies.
