How to win lane as Yasuo against Viktor · 47.23% win rate over 7,407 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yasuo | Level 1 is yours since early Viktor is a weak laner with only a dodgeable Death Ray. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | Level 2 stays Yasuo-favoured as you Q-trade him off his last-hits. |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | Level 3 is yours because Sweeping Blade closes his range and dodges his slow-arming W. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Levels 4-5 favour you: Wind Wall blanks his laser poke and you all-in on his stun cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Yasuo | Level 6 is still yours as Chaos Storm is a slow zone you dash out of while committing. |
| First item | Yasuo | First item keeps you ahead: Shieldbow out-sustains his poke and one combo kills pre-scaling. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Two items you still win if you force fights on cooldowns before his full augment kite arrives. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: early Viktor is a weak laner who wants to hit level 6 and upgrade augments, so walk up and Q-auto him whenever he steps to CS. His Death Ray is a dodgeable line and his Gravity Field arms slowly, so trade on his last-hits and deny the free farm that his whole scaling plan depends on.
