Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Yasuo's superior sustained damage and mobility, but can start winning post-6 when you steal his R for massive burst potential.
- Your level 3 spike with full combo is notable but still not enough to overcome his early game advantage.
How to Trade
- Look for E1-W-E2-Q combos when Yasuo wastes his E dash aggressively or when his passive shield is down.
- You need to land your E2 to guarantee the W heal and damage, making short burst trades more favorable than extended fights.
Wave Control
- Push early waves to prevent Yasuo from building up Q stacks on minions, then look to freeze or slow push when you have mana advantage.
- You want to avoid long lanes where he can chase you down with E resets through minions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match Yasuo's sustained damage in extended trades, especially when he has Q3 tornado ready.
- Avoid fighting in large minion waves where he can dash freely and reset his E cooldown multiple times.
