You should all be familiar with how Yasuo works, this guide is just to enforce some points that may not be as well covered in other guides.

Skilling Order - Max Steel Tempest vs melee, Max Sweeping Blade vs ranged. Pretty self-explanatory, you want Q for poke or E to gap close. When maxing Q, build Phantom Dancer and then another attack speed item (to lower q CD). When maxing E, build Phantom Dancer and then a damage item.

Summoner Spells - Flash is the best summoner for Yasuo, it can allow you to instantly gapclose, catching enemies by surprise. Exhaust and Ignite are both viable choices. I personally have found exhaust to be superior - it acts as both an offensive and defensive spell. It allows Yasuo to neutralise high-priority targets while being largely immune to their damage. Ignite simply doesn't offer than kind of utility.

Masteries - Fresh Blood is the better alternative than Feast. 20hp/30seconds is pretty laughable, it's less than 1hp a second, it's much better to have stronger poke.

Bounty Hunter lategame, it gives you an extra 7.5% damage. Very strong, you should have killed all enemy champions at least once before hitting that stage. Besides, you only need 4 stacks of it before it becomes better than its counterparts.

Fervor of Battle Yasuo lacks a strong early game, this gives him very strong damage early game. Enemies will be scared to get into long trades because this will stack up very quickly and do a lot of damage.

The Utility Tree is pretty unorthodox, let me explain my reasoning.

Recovery Gives you 2hp/5seconds. In 1 minute, you will have healed 24hp. Or, you could get Unyielding . 5% armour isn't a lot early game, but coupled with Fearless , it will reduce a lot more than 24 damage coming your way. Not only that, but Fearless makes short trades go into your favour too, which means enemies are at a disadvantage in both instances of trading.


ITEMS - This is the gem of this guide. As yasuo, you do a lot of damage to squishies, but his weakness is being kited. Not here though. Frozen Mallet, Bork active and Phage passive means their carries are going no where. You slow them, steal their movement speed and gain movement speed, all this coupled with insane mobility with your e.

Not only do squishies have a hard time dealing with you, but so do tanks. You have bork and cleaver, you will be able to shred tanks very very quickly since you basically have a second autoattack every 1.33 seconds ( Sweeping Blade).

Lastly, Yasuo's weaknesses to burst/focus are basically gone. Yasuo has 1000hp from items plus exhaust means anyone jumping on you will have a hard time getting out alive.


*** Yes, this is a very badly made guide, I have no pictures and it is badly formatted. If you want me to, I can improve it to resemble more or less the standard of top mobafire guides. This would require a lot of time, so I want to make sure there will be an audience for it.
