At a glance

Nothing in your kit is a projectile he can wall — root the dash-chain, tomb the knockup attempt, and shatter the windwall-shaped hole in his plan.

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

Do

  • W-root him mid dash-chain
  • Self-R his EQ3 knockup window
  • Q through minions — the shatter ignores his wall

Don't

  • Extend trades past your root duration
  • Fight inside his wave at even HP
  • Claw in when he has the gap-closer banked

How to beat Yasuo as Lissandra: the early game

The early game is a Wind Wall skill dance. Yasuo blocks Ice Shard with one well-timed Wall — it is the only projectile you own, so don't feed your poke into it; throw it on the downtime and remember 4 seconds of cover costs him 25. Your E dash can't be blocked, so it's your tool to keep pressure and bait the Wall out.
