How to win lane as Heimerdinger against Yasuo · 53.67% win rate over 436 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You have one turret and no stun at level 1 while Yasuo can E in and trade — concede the contact window and bank a charge. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | Your second H-28G plus the slowing electron beam build a zone Yasuo's dash only feeds him into — he can't enter on cooldown for free. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | With three turret charges down, any Yasuo dash-in eats stacked beam DPS before he reaches you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | CH-3X center-stun plus a full nest makes his dash-in suicidal — rooted by the grenade and melted by three turrets at once. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | UPGRADE!!! gives a wider, longer-stunning grenade that catches his dash so the nest finishes the kill even through flow shield. |
| First item | Yasuo | He out-scales here: flow stacks and early crit let Windwall blank your beams while he trades back through the cooldown gaps in your nest. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | At full crit he wins outright — Windwall eats your projectiles, IE DPS bursts turrets, and his R knockup one-shots the immobile yordle. |
Level 1 is your one soft spot — a single turret and no stun, so respect an aggressive Yasuo start and just bank a charge. By 2-3 it flips hard: a second H-28G plus the periodic slowing electron beam turn your zone into a wall he has to dash through, and his E onto a minion only feeds him into stacked turret DPS. Don't waste W rockets into his Windwall — bait it, then poke. CH-3X isn't online yet, so don't over-commit; farm safely behind the nest and deny his flow stacks.
