How to win lane as Tryndamere against Yasuo · 56.52% win rate (2,801 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Spin past the windwall, crit through his block, and your R denies his all-in — out-scale his early.
Track: Yasuo's R — Last Breath (70–30s cooldown). His all-in after a knockup. R survives it.
Read from Tryndamere's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yasuo.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tryndamere | Level 1 is yours because your Q-stacked autos and shove beat his weak early flow-shield before his combo comes online. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even skill since he gets a second ability but neither of you has a real all-in yet. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even as his full Q-tornado and Sweeping Blade dash let him kite, offsetting your E gap-close. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Levels 4-5 tilt to Yasuo because his tornado, Windwall, and dash uptime let him control spacing before your crit spike. |
| Level 6 | Tryndamere | Level 6 flips to you: Undying Rage lets you commit through his ult knockup, survive, and heal back with Q. |
| First item | Tryndamere | At first item you out-scale him, shredding him before his tornado and Windwall reset. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | With 2+ items your R plus crit uptime win nearly every straight duel against him. |
Levels 1-2 favour you: you shove and trade with Q stacks and autos while his passive shield and E dash aren't enough to punish you yet, and Windwall can't stop melee hits. Play for pressure and deny his early flow-shield resets.
