Introduction

Hello Summoners, my name is Jakitsa, or some people may know me as "Yasuo Senpai". (Jakitsa lolking) |


Pros
|
+ Easy farming + Manaless + Extremely low cooldowns + Block with ![]() + High mobility + High skill cap + Amazing passive ![]() + Best fedora tipping |
Manaless champions always have an advantage in lane, spamming your abilities with no costs against MANA champions is just unfair, also ![]() ![]() |

Cons
|
- Useless without items - No built-in sustain - Escaping relies on units - Hard to master - Magic Resistance doesn't scale |
The weakest side of ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |


![]() |
This mastery page is heavily offensive, if you are literally playing this champion for the first time, I recommend you taking your basic 9/21 setup for ex.
![]() Why do you take Blade- and Spellweaving? "To use both Spell and Blade weaving well, a champion needs to use both autoattacks and spells to damage enemies. This is even more enhanced with champions utilizing low cooldowns to abuse the higher spell damage more often without the 5-second-timer running out." These couple sentences are just screaming ![]() ![]() ![]() |

- Intent: Critical strike chance is being doubled, but in the exhange they deal 10% reduced damage.
- Resolve:
Yasuo's resource bar is "Flow", if
Yasuo get's hit by a champion or a monster the shield activates and consumes all the flow and shields
Yasuo for the amount of Flow.



You are going to want to max this ability first, since it's


Steel Tempest has its attack speed cap at 66%
Yasuo's weakest state is when he has used his 3rd
Steel Tempest
- Try to
Steel Tempest right after AA. This is not an AA reset but you will get the most damage out faster
Steel Tempest's knock up can really screw up the enemy jungler who is trying to gank
- The circle you get around you when you have two stacks of Gathering Storm is the range of your whirlwind and the range you'd want to be to use your
Last Breath



- Active:Yasuo creates a wall of wind blocking all enemy projectiles with the exception of tower hits for 3.75 seconds
- Using
Wind Wall in the jungle's narrow paths can mess up a lot of thrown abilities
- When going 1v1 against a marksman, use the
Wind Wall between him and you, and when the enemy marksman moves himself through the
Wind Wall to get some hits on you, use
Sweeping Blade through him to rotate yourself to the other side again. Will make the enemy QQ I
Garentee
- If a fight is happening near minions, try to
Sweeping Blade trough enemies and those minions as much as possible to generate more flow and to juke more skillshots
Wind Wall can't block abilities such as
Lux's
Final Spark or
Xerath's
Arcanopulse (abilities that are not "thrown"]





- Each cast increases the next
Sweeping Blade's damage by 25% up to 50%
- You cannot dash into an enemy that has already been dashed, the circle around the enemy indicates how long the timer is. The more points you put into this ability, the lower the cooldown is for you to dash to the same target.
- Use
Sweeping Blade to catch up to an enemy if a chase is going on
- Use an AA and
Sweeping Blade right after it to maximize the trading potential



- Use it at the start of a fight to maximize your bonus armor penetration
- Combo your
Last Breath with abilities such as
Malphite's
Unstoppable Force or
Wukong's
Cyclone
- No need to save your
Last Breath for the "big fight". The cooldown will drop down to around 20 seconds in the late game.
- When the enemy is knocked up, he is going to stay there for a while... No need to rush and spam your 'R'
Last Breath to get the suppress as soon as possible, try to wait the whole airborne time and use your ultimate at the last possible millisecond.
- If you are really comfortable about your positioning and the possibility that you can hit your whirlwind. Use it after
Malphite's
Unstoppable Force and basically get the knock up suppress three times!

This is really match up dependant BUT let's just say TOP Lane:![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I have played a lot of ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() These are the most bought items on ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Also, The bonus armor penetration from using ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Choose one, but which one? I personally prefer ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Overall.

BORK
|
+ Safer option + Life steal earlier + Kite / Chase + Maxes your ![]() + Passive works with ![]() - Damage |
You are going to buy them both, but the question is which one to go first!Grants lifesteal while you're building it in laning phase, a ranged haste/slow, and maxes out ![]() ![]() In picks, ![]() ![]() ![]() |
IE
|
+ HUGE powerspike + 100% crit (if crit runes) + So much better for team fights (can delete squishies) - No Life steal - Hard to build |
Grants massive powerspike and 100% crit. Allows ![]() |


However, what happens in the LCS isn't necessarily the best for soloQ. You really need to carry yourself out of the elohell and "safe picking" isn't the way to go, you have to carry.
I personally go


Farming is important for

- You can block his
Blades of Torment
Sweeping Blade through him OR walk towards him to dodge his
Dark Flight and then use
Sweeping Blade through him again
- You can't win trades, just harass him when you can so that he has to push, freeze, then farm

- Harass her level 1-3

- Dash
Flash Frost and

- Harass;
Sweeping Blade to a minion -> AA + Q + E -> then dash back with a minion (level 2 this takes half of her HP)
- If you use
Last Breath; dash away immediately because she is going to use
Flash Frost where you landed

It's always been a really controversial lane, I personally enjoy it because YOU CAN BULLY HER. Start ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ... Some people will disagree with this match up, you need to learn it and try for yourself. Remember to be careful. |
- Build 2
Doran's Blades
Ninja Tabi is your best choice
-
Dangerous Game is mandatory
- 9x
Greater Glyph of Attack Speed
- Beware level 6 because you don't have
Wind Wall. Extremely carefully hug your turret
- Keep track of her cooldowns
- ALWAYS use EQ whirlwind combo, you can't hit the normal one
- Pray for the 10% critical strike level 1

Mercy
![]() ![]() ![]() |
A very underestimated champion who has sick burst damage and nice AOE, very overlooked and not so popular but can still be very devastating in the right hands. Early levels he doesn't deal that much damage and you have to take advantage of that, you can win trades easily. Using your ![]() ![]() ![]() You can block ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
- Start
Cloth Armor and 5x
Health Potion
- Play aggressive early.
Ninja Tabi is your best choice
- Blocking
Shadow Assault /
Rake is easy
- Play safe when you don't have
Wind Wall. This guy hits hard.
