How to win lane as Yasuo against Veigar · 49.73% win rate over 2,783 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yasuo | Level 1 is yours since Veigar is a helpless stacker with only a slow Q. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | Level 2 stays Yasuo-favoured as you deny his Baleful Strike farm and out-trade him. |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | Level 3 is yours because Sweeping Blade dodges Dark Matter and closes his range. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Levels 4-5 favour you: his only peel is Event Horizon, which your E and W beat. |
| Level 6 | Yasuo | Level 6 is yours because his R only lands if he first hits the cage you can dodge. |
| First item | Yasuo | First item keeps you ahead once denied stacks leave his burst under-tuned. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Full build you still win by dodging or blocking the cage, since without it he has no combo. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: Veigar is a defenceless stacker early with only a slow skillshot Q, so walk up and Q-auto him whenever he steps to last-hit and refuse to let him CS for free. Every denied Baleful Strike is AP he never gets, and your ranged Q plus movement make his Dark Matter almost impossible to land on you.
