How to win lane as Renekton against Yasuo · 53.11% win rate (5,131 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
E-W onto him through windwall, fury-burst before he stacks, and your early all-in beats his scaling.
Track: Yasuo's R — Last Breath (70–30s cooldown). His all-in after a knockup. While down, you win.
Read from Renekton's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yasuo.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Yasuo's Q poke hurts at level 1 but he cannot lock you down — last-hit at Q tip range and bank Fury without burning E into his minion-dash escapes. |
| Level 2 | Renekton | E-in the moment you hit level 2: empowered W is a point-and-click stun that hits him through his dash animation, giving him no minion-dash answer. |
| Level 3 | Renekton | Full kit online — E-W-Q is one of the strongest three-ability combos in the game against a melee with no hard CC, and Q heals back his passive-shield chip. |
| Levels 4-5 | Renekton | His Last Breath cooldown is your clock: it is down, you run the full pattern; it is up, you hold E and deny CS from range. |
| Level 6 | Renekton | Dominus absorbs the Last Breath burst and generates Fury fast enough for a second empowered W before R expires — you are nearly unkillable in this window. |
| First item | Renekton | Sundered Sky into Stride Breaker outpaces his first crit item: force the side-lane duel on his Last Breath timer and he cannot duel back. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Immortal Shieldbow and second crit item give Yasuo sustained DPS and shield sustain that outlast your burst pattern — end the game before this comes online. |
At level 1 you have no dash, so sit back, last-hit with Q range, and bank Fury — Yasuo's Q poke hurts but cannot out-damage your level 2 spike. The moment you hit level 2 walk up and E through him: his only escape is a minion dash that costs him CS, and your empowered W locks him in place long enough to land the full Q heal. Keep the wave near your side of the lane so he has to walk into your pattern rather than dash away through a packed wave. If he burns Last Breath on a stray caster knockup, that is your cue to commit a full trade immediately — he has no kill-threat answer until it is back up.

Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — cuts his healing. Build Eclipse (burst + early bully curve) first, then Sterak's Gage, with Plated Steelcaps.
