How to win lane as Veigar against Yasuo · 55.1% win rate over 2,724 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yasuo | Yasuo's E-dash, Wind Wall, and Q poke overwhelm your immobile level-1 kit. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | At 2 he closes through minions and threatens trades you can't answer. |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | Level 3 his stacked Steel Tempest and tornado add a knockup all-in you can't kite. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Through 4 his dash mobility and Wind Wall keep him the aggressor while you scrape farm. |
| Level 6 | Veigar | At 6 it turns — deny the knockup so his R has no target, and a landed cage kills him. |
| First item | Veigar | First item and E rank mean one landed Event Horizon combos him down through his shield. |
| Two+ items | Veigar | With 2+ items your stacked burst and cage shut off his dash-resets and end him on any engage. |
Levels 1-4 belong to Yasuo: his E-dash uses your own minion wave to gap-close, his Wind Wall blocks your Baleful Strike (Q) and even your ult, and his Steel Tempest poke plus tornado threaten a knockup all-in you can't kite. Play from the back of the wave, do not Q into a raised Wind Wall, and keep Event Horizon (E) purely defensive. Concede aggressive CS if it keeps you out of dash range — you're behind here and just need to survive to 6.
