How to win lane as Yasuo against Neeko · 51.7% win rate over 648 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is a skill lane — Neeko's Blooming Burst poke can trade even with sloppy play. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | Level 2 tilts to you as your second point starts winning the short trades. |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | Level 3 is yours — Sweeping Blade lets you all-in a peel-less squishy mage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Levels 4-5 favour you: Wind Wall blocks her root and shuts down her burst combo. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 5 reads as skill — her clone tricks and Q-E poke peak and can punish mistakes. |
| First item | Yasuo | Level 6 is yours: Last Breath kills her whenever her Tangle-Barbs is on cooldown. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | 2+ items stay yours — crit Yasuo out-scales a squishy control mage in the sidelane. |
Level 1 is a skill matchup — Neeko's Blooming Burst can out-poke you if you facecheck her bush or eat an early Tangle-Barbs, so play the wave clean until you have Sweeping Blade. After that your kill pressure ramps fast.
