How to win lane as Lillia against Yasuo · 66.67% win rate over 24 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You're weak at level 1 with only Q, but so is melee Yasuo — last-hit at Q range and don't step into his E-dash. |
| Level 2 | Lillia | Your Q sweetspot plus stacking move speed lets you poke and skip away before he can dash-trade back. |
| Level 3 | Lillia | E-slow starts the Dream Dust burn and pins him — but bait his Windwall first so it doesn't eat the seed. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lillia | Full Q rank and the compounding DoT mean every step he takes to CS costs him HP he can't sustain. |
| Level 6 | Lillia | Your poke and burn grind him down faster than flow-shield Yasuo can heal, as long as you dodge his E-dash. |
| First item | Lillia | Liandry's/Riftmaker makes your W and Dream Dust deal real percent-HP — your skirmish power outpaces his pre-crit. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Two-item crit Yasuo with Windwall and R knockup out-DPSes your DoT and deletes you — don't duel him, play the map. |
Yasuo at level 1-2 is just a melee with a dash who has to walk into minions to last-hit — that's free Q-sweetspot poke and a Swirlseed slow to start your Dream Dust burn. Don't waste E straight at him though: a smart Yasuo holds Windwall to swallow the seed, so save it to slow him after he's committed or burned W. His only out is the E-dash through minions, so keep a wave between you and chip him every time he steps up. You concede level 1, but by 2-3 your stacking Q move speed means he can't catch you to trade back.
