How to win lane as Fiora against Yasuo · 51.2% win rate (1,166 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Riposte his knockup — proc vitals and out-duel him.
Track: Yasuo's R — Last Breath (70–30s cooldown). His all-in after a knockup. While down, you win.
Read from Fiora's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yasuo.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Fiora | Yasuo is shieldless and squishy at Level 1 with no flow, and Windwall cannot block your melee Q, autos or Vitals. |
| Level 2 | Fiora | Your Q-Vital poke chips a Yasuo who can only build his shield by moving, so he can't trade back without giving up flow. |
| Level 3 | Fiora | Your E-Bladework combo — a guaranteed slow into a guaranteed crit on a fresh Vital — out-bursts a pre-shield Yasuo. |
| Levels 4-5 | Fiora | Chained low-cooldown Lunges off Vital procs keep him pinned before his first crit item comes online. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | It is even at 6: his R knockup is a huge Riposte target, but eat it unparried and his all-in flips onto you. |
| First item | Even / skill | Ravenous Hydra and Vital chunking keep you lane-dominant, but his first crit item starts closing the duel gap. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | A two-item Yasuo with IE and Shieldbow out-crits and lifesteals through your Vitals and owns fights with his R. |
Lane phase is yours — Yasuo is fragile and shieldless until he builds flow by moving around, and his Windwall does nothing to you because all your damage is melee: Q dash, autos and Vitals sail right past it. Throw Q at the far Vital to chip him, and at Levels 2-3 land the full E-Bladework combo (the first auto's guaranteed slow into the second's guaranteed crit) onto a fresh Vital for a big chunk. Don't waste Riposte on his Q tornado poke — save it for his engage.
