How to win lane as Neeko against Yasuo · 56.58% win rate over 281 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | Yasuo must walk up to farm at level 1, exposing him to your E-Q trade. |
| Level 2 | Neeko | Level 2 stays yours as his Wind Wall is on a long early cooldown to bait out. |
| Level 3 | Neeko | Your E root strips his E-dash mobility and locks him for a full Q burst. |
| Levels 4-5 | Neeko | Levels 4-5 remain yours: Wind Wall stops only one cast and you angle E around it. |
| Level 6 | Neeko | At 6 Yasuo can't reliably ult you solo, so your R all-in wins the duel. |
| First item | Neeko | One-item Neeko out-bursts a Yasuo still building toward crit relevance. |
| Two+ items | Neeko | Late, a clone bait plus E-root cancels his dashes and deletes him despite crit scaling. |
Levels 1-2 favour you: Yasuo has to walk up and last-hit with Q or auto, exposing him to your E-Q trade, and his Wind Wall is on a long cooldown early so you can bait or wait it out. Shove and deny his farm while he's forced to melee-range risk.
