I'm low elo so this entire guide is focused around my experience with Yasuo in low elo.
This build works great if you're gold elo or below, Are you anything above that you should search for a high elo guide.
I am a flex player so i dont have as much time in Yasuo as a Yasuo one-trick would have.
I still achieve a pretty high winrate and KDA with Yasuo so i think i'm doing it right and understand Yasuo fairly well.







Yasuo hurts like hell.
His auto-attack damage is high due to his 100% crit chance with only 2 items.
In low elo noone knows how to counter him and already tilt when they see Yasuo in champ select.
Time spent on this champ is almost Always worth it due to his really high skill ceiling while he isn't too hard to start playing.
Yasuo is one of the easiest champs to farm with in the game, His Steel Tempest cooldown is super low and Yasuo being able to combo Steel Tempest with Sweeping Blade makes waveclearing a breeze.

+ Amazing aa damage

+ Amazing mobility if near minions

+ 100% crit chance

+ 50% armor pen after ulty

+ Great late game scaling

+ Low skill floor but really high skill ceiling

- Very item dependant

- Bad early game damage

- High risk high reward (could be a pro)



So overall the pros far outweigh the cons and the cons can often be negated if you're a good player.






Can combo with a lot of your abilities and is essential for almost every champ…


Yasuo can splitpush pretty well if you go into super lategame. If you hit super lategame you will need this.


If you're good with your recall timing and you finish quick this is better than Teleport.







This is the best starter item if you're up against a hard matchup.


This is the best starter item if you're up against a medium or easy matchup.


Buy this item along with your Doran's Blade or Doran's Shield and on your first few backs. It gives you a lot more sustain.


Dont forget to ward. Warding is forgotten alot in low-elo and loses a lot of games for teams.


Either buy this on your first back if you have the gold for it, or if you're 200 gold short buy Berserker's Greaves


Always complete this item as fast as you can,
It gives you your first big power spike and you should never all-in before you have this item.


A good cash dump if you buy Zeal and have 300 gold left.


Complete this item after you've completed both Phantom Dancer and Berserker's Greaves.
It will give you a gigantic powerspike and after you buy this item you will be able to 1v1 almost everyone in your game.


I rarely buy this item but it can be a pretty good option if you get kited a lot and need a bit more tank stats.


Take these if you're against a team with heavy AD.


Take these against a team with heavy CC and AP.


Buy this item for the late game life steal.
You'll need it...


I tend to buy this item after Infinity Edge. It provides you with a lot of extra AD and you will be invincible because of the lifesteal. When you get this item you'll be able to teamfight pretty well.


Great final buy. It gives you tons of damage while at the same time providing you with a lot of tankiness.


Only buy this item if you're up against extreme crowd control.


If you're good at positioning this item is a great option, If you're not this item is a waste of gold.


I've never had to buy this item on Yasuo. But it seems like an ok option.


Buy this if you need more lifesteal. Make sure you also buy Bloodthirster and Blade of the Ruined King if you buy this item.




This gives you good poke and is your bread and butter damage in fights.
Make sure to basic attack as much as you can instead of only using this spell.
Steel Tempest can critically strike so it scales well with your build.


You max this second, It gives you lots of mobility and works in conjunction with your Sweeping Blade.


You max this third, Try to block any heavy cc ability or ulty with Wind Wall. The cooldown is long so dont use it to block random abilities.


What makes this ultimate really strong is its low cooldown. Watch out when using it because it can put you in locations you dont wanna be in.





Yasuo has extremely low base damage so refrain from going for trades until you've bought Phantom Dancer.
Until you've bought Phantom Dancer try to farm as much as you can, Yasuo can outfarm almost any opponent easily so you can get a pretty good lead if you just farm early.
When you buy Infinity Edge the fun starts, You can now 1v1 anyone if theyre not super fed and enemies never see your powerspike coming in low elo.
If you push out your mid or toplane opponent try to gank other lanes so you can extend your lead to your teammates.
After you've bought Infinity Edge you will most likely be close to ending laning phase so buying a Bloodthirster is advised.
You will die a lot less fast because of the lifesteal which will cause you to clutch 2v1ns and sometimes even 3v1ns.
You dont have to worry about hitting late game because Yasuo doesn't really fall off late game.
Try to look for oppurtunities to end, I can't really help you with that because it differs from game to game.
