How to win lane as Hwei against Yasuo · 52.87% win rate over 3,531 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Hwei's poke range dominates Yasuo's short dash threat from level 1, before he can ever close the gap |
| Level 2 | Hwei | Combo poke keeps outpacing Yasuo's melee-reliant Steel Tempest stacking through early lane |
| Level 3 | Hwei | Damage lead holds as Yasuo still lacks the crit item power spike to punish back |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Even skill matchup since Last Breath needs an airborne target Yasuo can't reliably create solo |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Hwei's burst item punishes any risky dash-in attempt before Yasuo's crit items complete |
| First item | Hwei | Hwei's range keeps denying Yasuo a safe engage angle into the late skirmish phase |
| Two+ items | Hwei | Full-build Hwei's poke and spacing force Yasuo to rely on outside setup rather than winning 1v1 |
Levels 1-2 favor you clearly: Hwei's range and combo poke punish Yasuo's short dash-in range before he can ever reach you, and Wind Wall only stops one spell out of your whole kit.
