| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Yasuo's combo threat is still live and punishing careless soldier placement heading into Level 6. |
| Level 6 | Azir | Azir's Level 6 ultimate finally gives a wall to deny Yasuo's dash engage, flipping the lane in Azir's favor. |
| First item | Azir | Azir's item spike and zone control widen the gap further, denying Yasuo easy engage angles. |

Yasuo is genuinely dangerous pre-6 — Sweeping Blade lets him dash through any soldier or minion to close the gap instantly, and if he lands a tornado knockup he can combo you down with autos before you can react. Be careful about leaving isolated soldiers near you, and use your dash defensively rather than aggressively until you have your own ultimate to answer his engage.
