Playing as Yasuo
Tips to maximize your impact
- Charge your whirlwind on minions
Hit twice with Steel Tempest (Q), on minions if needed, to charge the whirlwind. Cast it during Sweeping Blade (E): the strike becomes a circle.
- Move to charge your shield
Keep moving before taking a trade: Way of the Wanderer (passive) builds your shield while you move, and it triggers on the first hit you take.
- Dash from minion to minion
Chain Sweeping Blade (E) on different targets to reposition or dodge: each target has its own cooldown, so the spell comes back almost instantly.
- Save Wind Wall for what matters
Save Wind Wall (W) for a projectile that decides the teamfight, like Jinx's ult, rather than for poke: it blocks for 4 seconds, on a 25 to 17 second cooldown.
- Use your allies' knock-ups
Watch for your allies' knock-ups: Last Breath (R) can be cast on any airborne champion, whether the knock-up comes from your whirlwind or Malphite's ult.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Breath of Light (Q) hits the first enemy in its path, and only the seconds spent on a champion give him Stardust.
- Play hard early
Play hard early and don't let the game drag on: with Cosmic Creator (passive), each of Aurelion Sol's abilities grows permanently stronger through Stardust.
- Get out of the black hole fast
Leave Singularity (E) quickly: it pulls you toward its center, where it executes enemies below a health threshold, and each second inside gives him Stardust.
