How to play with Yasuo in LoL
Yasuo is in League of Legends fighter class, unlike killers who have burst power in a short time, Yasuo needs to stay longer in a fight to secure a kill.
Still, its damage power is very high, even with few items. It can give a lot of trouble to the opposing team, either by easily eliminating targets or by leading towers quickly.
- Take advantage of his passive to receive less damage: As Yasuo moves, a bar is charged below life and when full, it receives a shield to ignore some of the damage received.
- Always fight near minions. With his E (Agile Sword) ability, Yasuo can advance to enemy units (the ability only has time to recharge for units in which Yasuo has already advanced) and thus have plenty of mobility in a fight, both to confuse opponents and to go to up or escape.
- Try to start a fight always with the tornado loaded. The ability of the Q (Steel Storm) carries accumulations. With two clumps, Yasuo can deliver a hurricane that will fling enemies into the air and allow him to conjure his ultimate.
- Take maximum damage: when the enemy is raised in the air, whether by their accumulated Q-ability or another ability of an allied champion, use the ultimate on the enemy; use a basic attack and try to hit another Q. If the target attempts an escape, use the E to advance to it and continue the sequence.
Always remember to switch between a basic attack and the Steel Storm, both count as a basic attack and, on account of the passive, have the chance of a critical hit doubled.
Yasuo is a champion who needs to pick up the game to grow. If you’re still learning to play with it, prefer to grab Flash and Fire, this will help you increase your odds on a 1 × 1 exchange.
How to play against Yasuo no LoL (counter)
The beginning of Yasuo’s game tends to be more difficult, abusing this can take advantage of him, especially with the help of his team’s hunter.
Pay attention when you start a fight against Yasuo:
- Try to take the shield out of his passive before using any combo, so you take maximum damage in his life;
- Fight away from minions, that limits Yasuo’s mobility;
- Force him to use the hurricane before going up, otherwise he can use the ability to both go up and create an escape. Without the hurricane, Yasuo can not use the ultimate;
- Despite being extremely strong, Yasuo has little life: combine focus on a team fight with his team, leaving him under group controls will prevent him from doing too much.
Using items that apply Pain Wounds to Yasuo can create an advantage in the fight as he will probably do life regeneration items. Barrier or Exhaustion can help you handle some of the damage it would cause to you as well.
Jax can be a good counter, since your E can ignore basic attacks for a while
Which items are good for Yasuo (build)
Yasuo’s build may vary based on League of Legends updates. It’s always good to think about the items that work best against the enemy team. However, some that are usually chosen for Yasuo are:
- Statikk Knife: As Yasuo’s passive doubles the chance of a critical hit, the Statikk Knife is one of the champion’s starting items as it increases his chance of being critical, increasing his attack speed;
- Infinity Edge: In addition to increasing damage, with the Infinity Edge and the Statikk Knife you are already guaranteed a 100% critical chance to Yasuo;
- The Bloodthirsty: Will give the champion more damage, an additional shield, and every basic attack will heal him.
Remember: building Yasuo builds can vary for each match, depends a lot on the enemies and the type of game, sometimes it is more advantageous to build a defensive build than aggressive.
