Playing as Yasuo

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

Playing against Aurora

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after her W

    Take a trade once Across the Veil (W) is used: it's her spell to vanish, on a 22 to 18 second cooldown unless she takes part in a kill.

  2. Short trades

    Take short trades: every spell or auto that hits you releases a spirit that heals her, through Spirit Abjuration (passive).

  3. Don't fight in her zone

    Don't fight inside Between Worlds (R): she teleports from edge to edge, and crossing the edge slows you. Get out early, with a dash if you have one.
