Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1YasuoYasuo's Steel Tempest stacks freely at level 1 with no Fling to deter him — walk under tower or hug the wave rather than contesting the minion line.
Level 2YasuoHis Sweeping Blade dashes let him trade and disengage before you can return anything meaningful; survive this window and do not blow Flash chasing a dash.
Level 3Even / skillFling comes online and creates a brief parity — if he dashes to you, hurl him behind and run Poison Trail through him, but his mobility still lets him escape a full combo.
Levels 4-5SingedYour proxy pattern makes Poison Trail a resource-denial tool; he must leave the minion wave or watch it die under his tower, and chasing you into the cloud is a losing trade.
Level 6SingedInsanity Potion's stat dump — armor, magic resist, movement speed, and regeneration all at once — means he can no longer burst you in a short trade window and Poison Trail sustains the extended fight.
First itemSingedRylai's slow on every Poison Trail tick means Yasuo cannot dash away freely once caught in the cloud; Mega Adhesive roots him at the exit and Fling replants him inside it.
Two+ itemsYasuoInfinity Edge and a third crit item give Yasuo a Last Breath burst window that exceeds your regeneration — avoid extended 1v1s in the open and side-lane where he cannot easily group for the ult setup.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Yasuo owns levels 1-2 cleanly — his Steel Tempest stacks into a knock-up and Sweeping Blade lets him dash through minions to stay in your face, and you have no answer yet since Fling requires him to close to melee range first. Do not try to run at him early; his dash gives him the same mobility your passive gives you and he can trade on his terms. Hug the wave, let him push, and concede the CS pressure rather than standing in his Steel Tempest corridor. The moment he over-extends past your third minion line, that is your Fling window — hurl him behind you and immediately trail back through him with Poison Trail before he can Sweeping Blade away.
