Read from Yasuo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Aurora.
This is Yasuo's own plan; across 4,187 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yasuo | Level 1 is yours: you out-range her and her Q bounce is dodgeable with a dash. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays yours as she leans on her E dash for safety and can't punish you. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is yours because you punish her whenever Across the Veil (W) is down. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Levels 4-5 remain yours: her clean escape is Across the Veil on 22s, and you track it. |
| Level 6 | Yasuo | Level 6 stays yours: Between Worlds zones but can't stop a committed dash all-in. |
| First item | Yasuo | First item is yours: crit Q's out-trade her poke and Wind Wall denies the spirit marks. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | With 2+ items you dominate: dash-knockup lands the moment her E is down and Wind Wall kills her kite. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: your Q out-ranges her and her Twofold Hex is a dodgeable bounce you sidestep with a dash on the wave. She's reliant on her E dash for safety, so once you bait it out she has no way to escape your gap-close and you threaten every step-up. Track Across the Veil: 22s at rank 1, 18s at rank 5 — the leap into invisibility, and she is killable only while it is down.
