Track: Cassiopeia's W — Miasma (24–16s cooldown). Grounds you — dashes and movement abilities are disabled inside it.
Read from Yasuo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Cassiopeia.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Cassiopeia | Cassiopeia's Q and Miasma grounding zone your farm and disable your E. |
| Level 2 | Cassiopeia | Level 2 still favours Cassiopeia — her poke and W ground keep you out. |
| Level 3 | Cassiopeia | At 3 her full zone control locks you off engage and CS. |
| Levels 4-5 | Cassiopeia | Levels 4-5 Miasma grounding keeps you unable to close while she DPS's you. |
| Level 6 | Cassiopeia | Petrifying Gaze at 6 stuns you for a free combo if you face her. |
| First item | Cassiopeia | Her first AP item keeps her ahead as she DPS's you down while grounded. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Late, full crit and a wall that eats Twin Fang let Yasuo burst her down. |
Levels 1-3 favour Cassiopeia — her Q and Miasma zone your farm and the grounding pool disables your E engage entirely. Don't step in W, farm from max range, and hold Wind Wall for a real commit rather than her poke.
