How to win lane as Yasuo against Zac · 52.31% win rate over 713 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yasuo | Wind Wall blocks Zac's Stretching Strike, leaving him no way to trade at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | Level 2 stays yours as his slow-arming Q can't answer your auto-Q poke. |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | At 3 you keep punishing his cooldown windows while he wants only to farm. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Levels 4-5 remain yours — his engage telegraphs long enough to Wind Wall or dodge. |
| Level 6 | Yasuo | At 6 you hold Wind Wall for his engage and still dictate every trade. |
| First item | Yasuo | First item crit shreds his armorless build and widens your lead. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Late you keep the 1v1 with Wind Wall and E kiting despite his tank scaling. |
You own levels 1-2 — Zac's only tool is his slow-arming Q, and Wind Wall blocks it outright, so he has no way to trade with you. Push up and CS freely, punishing any missed Q. Don't let him poke free while your Wind Wall is down, but otherwise this is your lane from the first minion.
