How to win lane as Sejuani against Yasuo · 55.67% win rate over 203 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Both kits are weak at Level 1 — take W, last-hit, and let Permafrost passive stack resistances between his Q tornados. |
| Level 2 | Sejuani | Your Q charge is a dash, not a projectile — Windwall does not stop it, and Yasuo has no escape from a Level 2 knockup. |
| Level 3 | Sejuani | Full Q-W-W-E combo lands two Frost stacks before the stun triggers — no minion dash rescues him from inside that chain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sejuani | Frost stacks persist and your passive armor keeps rebuilding — every trade costs him more HP than it costs you. |
| Level 6 | Sejuani | Glacial Prison online: open with Q to bait or burn Windwall, then throw R once it is down for a guaranteed blizzard stun. |
| First item | Sejuani | Sunfire Aegis contact damage plus Permafrost stun uptime makes you untradeable — he cannot burst through your tank stats pre-crit. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Full crit Yasuo dashes through Permafrost windows faster than your stun resets — peel your team rather than chasing the 1v1. |
At Level 1 both of you are weak — take W, hit the wave, and let your passive Permafrost armor stack between his Q tornado prods. The moment you hit Level 2 the matchup flips: your Q charge is not a projectile so Windwall does nothing to stop it, and Yasuo has no real escape from a 600-range knockup on a champ still building his dash stacks. At Level 3 you have the full CC chain — charge him with Q to knock him up, land both W strikes to apply full Frost, then E-stun before he can dash to a new minion. He is immobile inside that window and will lose the trade badly.
