Track: Yasuo's W — Wind Wall (25–17s cooldown). Blocks every projectile for its duration — hold your poke until it is spent.

Do

  • Q him while his dash chain is on cooldown
  • E-slow his run-down angle
  • Save R for the EQ-knockup window

Don't

  • Stand and channel into his dash range
  • Spend W to poke when it is your escape
  • Fight inside his minion wave

How to beat Yasuo as Aurelion Sol: the early game

Yasuo's mobility lets him close the gap on your ranged kit — Sweeping Blade dashes 475 through any minion and comes back in half a second — and once he lands a Steel Tempest knockup his all-in punishes your lack of early burst, so play defensively and never overextend through laning. Track Wind Wall is 25s at rank 1, 17s at rank 5, and blocks nothing you cast — spend your poke through it.
