Who Wins
- Vel'Koz + Leona wins pre-6 through superior range and poke damage, making your engage attempts risky.
- Post-6 you can win if you land W on both enemies and Yasuo follows up with R on your knockup.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for W engage when Vel'Koz steps up for poke or when Leona uses E aggressively on Yasuo.
- Follow your W with E to extend CC duration and allow Yasuo to position for Q3 tornado or R.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam after successful recalls or when Yasuo can safely farm under tower around levels 4-6.
- Target mid lane ganks when your W is available and the enemy mid is pushed up.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't W engage without vision of enemy jungler or when significantly behind in health.
- Never use W just to gap close - you need to hit meaningful targets to justify the long cooldown and vulnerability.
