| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yasuo | Level 1 is yours — Nautilus is a slow tank with one blockable hook and no trade pattern. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | Level 2 is his: Titan's Wrath shields the trade and Riptide slows you out. |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | Level 3 is his — Riptide every 7s plus his passive root out-trades your poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Levels 4-5 are his: he stat-checks any trade and Riptide keeps you slowed. |
| Level 6 | Yasuo | Level 6 is his: Depth Charge knocks you up and chains into the hook. |
| First item | Yasuo | First item is a skill fight: crit out-damages him, but a landed hook still kills you. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | 2+ items stay yours in lane; just respect his CC chain when the game groups up. |
Levels 1-2 he out-stats you: his passive roots on first hit and Titan's Wrath absorbs your burst. Wind Wall blocks Dredge Line, or sidestep it with Sweeping Blade, then punish the missed hook.
