Who Wins
- You dominate pre-6 with superior range, sustain, and consistent poke through Q and E.
- Post-6 you win all-ins with R combo unless Yasuo perfectly times W to block your ultimate or has minions for multiple E dashes.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading is E on minions near Yasuo for bounce damage, followed by Q when he goes for CS.
- Space properly to avoid his E gap-close range while maintaining consistent poke pressure with your superior range.
Wave Control
- Maintain slow pushes to build large waves that deny Yasuo minions for E mobility, then crash and recall safely.
- Avoid hard shoving without vision as it gives him free E dashes through your minion line.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste R when his W is available - bait it out with Q first or wait for him to use it defensively.
- Getting caught in extended trades without your passive shield or when low on mana results in losing favorable matchups.
