Yasuo has quite a bit of combos that he can do which is what makes him a somewhat difficult champion to use, so in this section I'll give you a brief look into some of Yasuo's combos
Combos:
E+Q: This is the most basic Yasuo combo there is, simply activate your Steel Tempest when you're in mid dash of your Sweeping Blade and it can have the potential for an aoe knockupE+E+E+Q: This is basically the exact same as the first one but it involves charging up your e so you deal more damage on your dash
Q+E+AA: When doing this combo you want to first make sure your passive Way of the Wanderer is up. You q them dash through them than auto attack them 3-4 times than dash away. Tip: it's best to do this when enemy skills are on cooldown
E+Q+R: For this combo you should only use it when the enemy laner is at about 1/3 health. First stack up your Steel Tempest than you want to try and bait the enemy laner in to get cs, if they take the bait Flash and pull off this combo than Ignite to finish them off and get a kill

Alright, you should probably be wondering right now "Hey moo why did you go Banshee's Veil instead of Last Whisper? You need some armor pen" OK so here's my reasoning behind this item. First let's take a look at what a standard Yasuo build would be.
Now I am not saying that this build isn't viable I used to use it for a while myself and it worked well, but the main problem I had with this build is that it's a glass cannon if you don't have your Guardian Angel up. So I started looking around and trying different items like Spirit Visage or Randuin's Omen but I found the best item that worked with yasuo was the Banshee's Veil
Why it Works
- Health: One of the key things that was missing with Yasuo was tankyness. If you've played Yasuo before you know what I mean, even without your Last Whisper you still deal a ton of damage but can get easily burst down by cc
- Magic Resist: As I briefed on in the Pros and Cons section of this guide Yasuo doesn't have any MR scaling, meaning that even late game if you have MR glyphs you can still be burst down by a mage like Fizz or Katarina a Banshee's Veil adds a nice amount of mr to your build to stop you from getting burst as hard
- Passive: There's a lot of things that Banshee's Veil is good for whether it's to shutdown a combo or to block some hard cc this item is extremely good
- Your Ult Gives Armor Pen: Once you use your ultimate, Last Breath for 15 seconds you gain a buff that gives you 50% ARMOUR PEN TO BONUES ARMOUR. Average teamfights in league last around 10-15 seconds so that's more than enough time for you to deal your damage.
Laning:
Yasuos laning phase is very underrated, the main reasons why I think it's better than it's put out to be is because you have your passive Way of the Wanderer to out trade the enemy laner, you have Sweeping Blade every half second to avoid skill shots and you have Wind Wall to block anything you can't avoid.Teamfights:
As Yasuo your main objective in teamfights is to either initiate with a 3-4 man knockup with your third stack of Steel Tempest or follow up on an engage by a teammate like Wukong or Malphite. Once you get your ult off what you want to do is to use your Sweeping Blade to dash through units to get to squishy targets, for example the enemy adc. By the time you're full build your crits will be dealing around 600-700 damage that's enough to 4-5 shot the adc or ap mid depending on how much armor they chose to getOne of the main tips that I have to mention is that when you are playing Yasuo try to use your ultimate as late as possible. Like when you knock them up try to land an auto attack or 2 before using Last Breath. Keep in mind that Yasuo takes a lot of practice to get used to and can be a hard champion to use, so don't get frustrated if you don't do well for your firs couple games
If you actually managed to read this far Thanks :D, this is my first guide that I have made, so as you can tell I'm a bit new to bbcoding and besides the main guide from the wiki this guide (linked below) helped me out a lot while making this. If you have any other questions about Yasuo feel free to add me if you are on NA. As well as if you ever see me in one of your games don't be afraid to say hi.
