Read from Yasuo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Jayce.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jayce | Jayce's Cannon Q poke and Acceleration Gate bully you out of range at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 his ranged harass and speed still keep you from ever trading back. |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | Through level 3 his poke plus Hammer E knockback shut down your engages and chip you down. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Levels 4-5 stay his — sustained Cannon Q damage keeps you low and cautious. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At level 6 neither of you gains a real ult spike, so the lane levels to a skill check. |
| First item | Yasuo | At first item Wind Wall negates his poke and your E-R all-in cracks his squishy body. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Late game is firmly yours as the falloff bully loses to your crit-and-R scaling. |
Jayce dominates levels 1-5: Cannon form pokes from a screen away and Acceleration Gate lets him kite your every approach. Shock Blast is 16s at rank 1 — that gap is your only window. Focus on last-hitting, and note Wind Wall answers Cannon form only; his Hammer abilities pass straight through it.
