Track: Yasuo's W — Wind Wall (25–17s cooldown). Blocks every projectile for its duration — hold your poke until it is spent.
Read from Sejuani's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yasuo.
This is Sejuani's own plan; across 618 pooled games the lane is leaning Sejuani.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Both kits are weak at Level 1 — take W, last-hit, and let Frost Armor rebuild between Steel Tempest prods, out of combat. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | Your Q is a dash, so Wind Wall cannot refuse it — but the knock-up is Airborne, and that is what Last Breath needs. |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | 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 | Yasuo | Frost stacks persist and your passive armor keeps rebuilding — every trade costs him more HP than it costs you. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | 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 | Yasuo | 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.
