You can go either. Match up specific, but conq will offer you much more damage. Fleet movement speed + sustain is helpful.
I'd say I learned at least one or two things coming to this build and I'm so happy I did!
You really capitalize on the importance of various runes you prefer, and I'm a believer now!
All of your item picks are smart buys and I'm starting to rethink my vision of Yasuo in my mind.
People really underplay his potential by skipping out on core damage items these days in exchange for mobility, and I think it's a total sin.
Thank you bunches for the guide!
*love the videos in the build bulk it's really fun to see what others find important to show others in their guides*

Top lane Yasuo can simply farm, out scale and get his items. Certain matchups like tryndamere, darius, urgot, rushing a frozen mallet after your zeal isn't a bad idea as it allows you to kite them by spamming your q as well as making you a lot harder to kill.

I love your Yasuo guide and I have good success with Yasuo lately. Yasuo is apparently really strong right now n patch 6.17 with a win rate of 55% in Top Lane. I think it's because of this new build people are using which is Frozen Mallet + Phantom Dancer which makes him not only do good damage but making him tanky and sticky.
My point is Riot is about to give him a set of changes to balance him in patch 6.18 and here it is,
Attack speed per level lowered to 2.5 from 3.2
Base attack speed also increased to [0.67] from [0.658].
Attack delay to -0.067 from -0.05
Last Breath (R):
Secondary affect of increased bonus armor pen now only applies to Yasuo's critical strikes rather than all attacks.
So basically his atk spd growth is lowered but compensating with higher base atk spd. Also, his ultimate armor pen only appiles to crits. What do you think about these changes and will riot add more changes to him?

Hello, and thanks for the comment. His ultimate change makes little to no difference as landing an ultimate with the critical strike build was a luxury seeing as the target would most likely die before you get the ultimate off regardless, and even then if you have a phantom dancer, 60% of your attacks will be critical strikes anyway. Overall this nerf isn't what we should focus on. if I was riot I would have made it so his regular damage would fall off by 1-20% scaling down through the game and keep his critical strike damage the same. The attack speed per level seems nerf seems a bit huge and could potentially mean his q might not reach the 1.33 cap without building a second attack speed item. The attack delay also means his damage output WILL overall be the same , however the damage will be dished out slower so in clutch situations it could result in death, as well as making csing with auto attacks a little bit harder.
