STATS

CHAMPION SPOTLIGHT

We can see from these stats that Yasuo is a High-Mobility Champion, with good AoE Damage and Slaying Potential, but he's lacking Toughness and is vulnerable to Crowd Controls.

Let's be honest, ALL of Yasuo Skins Are AWESOME.
Here We GO! First one will be the first, and IconicLegendary skin of Yasuo:

Nightbringer Yasuo

Cost:1820
Rarity:Legendary
Demonic and Sexy
The Voice Though... OH THE VOICE THOUGH...
Fire All Around
Feel Like A Winner Because It Won Dawnbringer Riven at the 2017 "VS Event"

I highly recommend you to buy and use Nightbringer Yasuo , It's just PERFECT <3

High Noon Yasuo

Cost:975
Rarity: Standard
Cool And Awesome Cowboy Design With A GunSword
Tempests Of Sand :3
Nice And Unique Music From The Dance Emote

BADASS HERO OF THE WEST
Skin :)

PROJECT: Yasuo

Cost:1350
Rarity:Epic
Mechanic Basic Attack Animation
Voice Got Some Mechanical Effects From The Future

Of Technology

This Skin is pretty good, If you are a fan of the PROJECT series, go for it! :)

Blood Moon Yasuo

Cost:975
Rarity: Standard
Red Designed Abilities
Badass Sweet Recall
Tempest Is Harder To See Since It's Darker
Splash Art Is Amazing

That was my first skin for Yasuo actually, I played it a lot and had tons of fun. this skin feels very natural to play and not too heavy and messy. Just a fresh feeling to use it.

Odyssey Yasuo

Cost:1350
Rarity:Epic
Space Design
Little Pet On Your Shoulder
Tempest Looks Thinner So You Can Confuse Enemies
Very Nice Lore :) His Sword Is Called "Song" In This Skin

I love that skin and his badass trailer. Odyssey is a great concept of a space pirate team that trying to protect the "ORA" from Odyssey Kayn and Galaxy Slayer Zed .

Battle Boss Yasuo

Cost:1350
Rarity:Epic
Edgy Design With Nice Chroma Options
Nice & Satisfying SFX
Cute Pixled Poro On Recall
This Skin (Especially The Last Chroma) Makes Him Look Much Younger And HOT DAMN HOT

Very cool skin. His trailer is 2D-Anime style, I recommend watching it. And Again - HOOOOOOOT!!!

True Damage Yasuo

Cost:1350
Rarity:Epic
Musical Skin
Nice Moves From Leaving The Base
Your Dance Emote & Recall Are Playing Some Parts Of "True Damage - GIANTS"
This Mask On His Face Is A BOSS

Everyone likes music! This skin is fresh, deep and awesome. True Damage is living in the same lore of K/DA while True Damage Yasuo takes his place as the Manager, the DJ and the Official Beatmaker of True Damage.

True Damage Yasuo Prestige Edition

Cost:100
Rarity:Mythic
You're Wearing AAPE Original Clothes
Golden Skin
Exclusive For 2020-2021 And Will Be Unavailable In The Future
Cool Hairstyle

The Prestige Edition of True Damage Yasuo where he is managing K/DA ALL OUT after the great success of True Damage - GIANTS. It will be an Exclusive and Unavailable Skin at the end of 2021 August (Maybe They Will Change It). If you are a collector that wants some Unique Skins or Golden and Fancy Skins, this is a one for you.

Spirit Blossom Yasuo

Cost:1350
Rarity:Epic
Pefect Design, BEYOND PERFECT
Peaceful SFX & VFX
His Is The Best Version Of It In My Opinion
Matches With His Lore Perfectly

I think this is my favorite one, but don't let the other skins to know about this! It's theme suits Yasuo perfectly with all of these flowers and colors. It looks like he finally became in peace with himself after he got his justice back and additionaly met his brother, Yone, again. He also got a skin of this line called Spirit Blossom Yone . If you and your Yone friend wants to match skins, make sure to buy these two!

Truth Dragon Yasuo

Dream Dragon Yasuo

Cost:1820
Rarity:Legendary
DRAGONSSSSS!!!
Brand new Voice Lines for each one of the skins
The Animation of Last Breath is REALLY Unique
New Flute Song which can be played while using Recall too
A Spiritual Dragon that follows you and your emotes

I love the fact Riot combined the 2 things I love the most - Samurai & Dragons and even made it Legendary TWICE! Both skins are amazing and so unique and clean! You should just pick one by your taste of colors, they have many different voice lines.

Sea Dog Yasuo

Cost:1350
Rarity:Epic
A Super Wet Design with Golden Armor and Mask for Bilgewater fans
Represents the Ruined King game along with Gangplank the Betrayer
3rd Q Becomes Twisted As Hell
Splash of Water when you slam down an opponent with

This skin is neat. Yasuo getting a power up from the Buhru ( Illaoi's Language) and got blessed by a Tentacle Hentai God that calls himself Nagakabouros (WTF?!?!) to defeat the Ruined King Viego?! That's a better way to end the story of the Ruined King game. Get this skin if you played this RPG on Steam/Epic Games, it will remind you how cool it was!

Inkshadow Yasuo

Cost:1350
Rarity:Epic
Super Cool Hairstyle and Tattoos
Top-Tier Ink Effects
Holding a green blade just like Master Yi
Can be played alongside Inkshadow Yone

Badass, Massive, Probably My Most Favorite By Now.

Prestige Inkshadow Yasuo

Cost: Unavailable (Inkshadow Pass)
Rarity:Mythic
Sparkling Effects
Gigachad Energy Splash Art
Never Seen Before Colors
A Very Rare Prestige Edition Skin

Broooo My Boi looks like he got the whole club thirsty for more.

Foreseen Yasuo

Cost:1350
Rarity:Epic
Boomer
His Recall Equips Sensei's Wu ORIGINAL HAT FROM NINJAGO
One of the only skins in the entire game to time skip or change age
Appears in a cinematic named "Still Here"

Truly one of the most unique skins out there. Yeah, it's not always a good feeling to see my boy so old and weak, on the verge of death in his final day in life. But as we all know, all good things come to an end even when Legends Never Die. Also, it's a non-canon future, and fictional characters live forever so don't be so sad guys, buy this skin and enjoy it till the end!

Battle Wolf Yasuo

Cost:1350
Rarity:Epic
You Can Use This Skin In The Swarm Game Mode
First Ultra Ego Yasuo Skin
Drippy Suit
The Closest Skin to Yasuo wearing a Cosplay

I mean... ugh... I'm not a furry but if you are, you're welcome. It's matchable with Ahri I guess? Wolf and Fox? I don't know I think this one is quite a miss...

--Legends of Runeterra Only--

Cosmic Zephyr Yasuo

Cost:1290
Rarity: Epic
Amazing Level Up Animation
Two Beautiful Artworks

I wonder if this skin will hit League of Legends or Wild Rift too

I'll Update This Chapter Whenever A New Skin Will Be Released!

For MID Yasuo I recommend stacking your with Raptors of Your / Enemy Jungle through the wall and surprise your matchup with a half-way ready Whirlwind. I recommend Warding the Enemy's Red Buff path above/under the River like this:

For TOP and MID both, you can use your to freeze without taking damage from Caster Minions. This won't go pretty well on ADC / SUPP Yasuo since you need to save it to protect yourself and your duo from skillshots or basic attacks of the enemy ADC and SUPP 's Hard CC Abilites (Like or for an example).

For JUNGLE Yasuo you can start with Red Buff , then Raptors and go to Blue Buff side and clear all of the Neutral Monsters there. You can use your to block Gromp 's basic attacks in the correct distance, and later use it to get vision on Krugs and Wall-Jump it with . Help other lanes by using their wave for mobility and Gathering Storm stacks with + and then go to Dragon with an ally or alone at Level 5 at least and Block it's attacks with

You should max Q first so you will deal the most damage you can with it, and then E because it will short the duration of the E disable on targets you already dashed into. W is the last to low the high cd of it. There are some matches I level up the E at level 4 or 5 once more just for a little bit "Swifter" Laning Phase.

Note That Combo Is Easier To Land Using Navori Flickerblade Since It Resets Cooldown A Little Bit.

Impossible

Deadly Tempest Strike

This Is The Strongest Yasuo Combo Possible That I Know. It Maximizes The Stacks Of Damage, Increasing It's Base Damage By 50%, Dealing Nice Magical Damage Because Of The Ability Power Of Hextech Rocketbelt And It's Active Damage , Uses 4 Times Quickly And All Of It Touches The Enemy Champion(s) One Of The Most Impossible Combos To Make And I Saw Only Yasuicide Making It True. Today There's an alternative version with Galeforce
