How to win lane as Yasuo against Lucian · 51.26% win rate over 3,227 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lucian | Lucian's passive double-shot and Piercing Light poke bully your level 1. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | At level 2 your E-Q gap-close lets you dash through his poke and trade. |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | By level 3 you consistently force melee range where Lucian is weakest. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | At 4-5 it's a skill fight around his E dash timing and your dash windows. |
| Level 6 | Yasuo | At level 6 your Wind Wall negates The Culling and your R punishes his dash. |
| First item | Yasuo | Your first crit item out-trades and out-sustains his falling-off lane burst. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Late-game side lane favors your E range over his Relentless Pursuit escape. |
Lucian wins the level 1-2 poke war with his passive double-shot and Piercing Light (Q), so play back and soak the wave rather than trading into his burst.
