Out-sustain him — R-lock his dashes, avoid his knockup.
Track: Yasuo's R — Last Breath (70–30s cooldown). His all-in after a knockup. While down, you win.
Read from Warwick's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yasuo.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Warwick | Warwick-favoured: Q Jaws healing shrugs off Yasuo's level-1 Steel Tempest poke. |
| Level 2 | Warwick | Warwick-favoured: W Blood Hunt lets you punish him the moment his E dash is down. |
| Level 3 | Warwick | Warwick-favoured: point-blank R Infinite Duress ignores his Wind Wall so short trades are yours. |
| Levels 4-5 | Warwick | Warwick-favoured: your sustain keeps refilling faster than his tornado poke chips you. |
| Level 6 | Warwick | Warwick-favoured: at 6 your R still cleanly beats his kit 1v1 before crit comes online. |
| First item | Yasuo | Yasuo-favoured: his first crit item pushes auto DPS past your Q heal in all-ins. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Yasuo-favoured: stacked crit plus Wind Wall and R Last Breath outscale you in extended fights. |
You dominate levels 1-3: Yasuo's early Q Steel Tempest and E Sweeping Blade poke does little against Q Jaws of the Beast healing, and once W Blood Hunt marks him you win any short trade. Don't let him free-farm with E dashes on the wave — step up whenever his dash is down.
