How to win lane as Vex against Yasuo · 56.67% win rate over 4,362 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vex | You punish Yasuo's every dash — Gloom arms and charged Q interrupts his engage. |
| Level 2 | Vex | Charged Q keeps interrupting his tornado stacks and denies his level-2 all-in. |
| Level 3 | Vex | At 3 your E fear and W burst beat his squishy pre-item dueling. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vex | Levels 4-5 you hold the anti-dash lock and win trades before his crit spike. |
| Level 6 | Vex | Shadow Surge fears him mid-combo, giving you the pre-item kill window at 6. |
| First item | Yasuo | His first crit item lets him ride out your burst and Wind Wall your poke, flipping the lane. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Two items in his crit DPS and knockup chains out-duel you, so his scaling wins late. |
Levels 1-2 you punish his dashes — Gloom auto-arms when he E's through minions and charged Q interrupts him, so poke and deny his tornado stacks.
