The dash from this ability is a fixed distance so if you use this ability while close to your target, you will dash away from it. Use 1st, Steel Tempest then dash back to your side.

Maximum bonus damage is reached after the second bounce.Ī common strategy to harass your lane opponent is to dash to one melee minion then to a range minion to reach your opponent. Sweeping Blade’s damage increases after each successive bounce. For that reason, during the laning phase, it is inadvisable to stray away from the minion waves because you are vulnerable to ganks without a way to dash out a fight. Sweeping Blade is Yasuo’s main source of mobility but it can only be used if there is are enemies around. Marked enemies cannot be targeted using Sweeping Blade again for its duration. Sweeping Blade is a targeted dash with a very short cooldown but has a separate cooldown for each champion hit with this ability that is shown as a timer around marked enemies. Windwall reveals the area where it is placed so it can be used to wall jump in combination with 3rd, Sweeping Blade. Windwall blocks projectiles on both of its sides.

Notably, Lux’s ultimate cannot be blocked because its damage procs simultaneously across its AoE. Fizz’s Chum of the Waters – In this case, the bait is only blocked and the shark still pops up after its timer expires.It renders even the most powerful abilities in Wind Rift useless. It summons a wall of wind that absorbs or blocks most skill-shot projectile. Windwall is Yasuo’s main defensive ability and outplay tool. Steel Tempest can proc a modified critical strike that deals less bonus damage than a normal crit.Ĭasting 2nd, Windwall, before releasing the tornado can fool your enemy and make it easier to knock them up.Īll stages of Steel Tempest, including the circular ones, can be buffered or repositioned using Flash. If you fail to land the ability during that duration, the charges reset back to none. After the first cast of Steel Tempest, a timer runs where you have to land another Steel Tempest in order to gain another charge. Steel Tempest’s cooldown is not affected by ability haste but is reduced by attack speed. The change in the ability goes for all three casts of Steel Tempest but the third charge will knock up all enemies hit in the circular AoE. Steel Tempest can be activated during the animation of 3rd, Sweeping Blade, and it will transform it into a circular AoE damaging ability. The third cast of Steel Tempest is a long-range tornado that damages and knocks up all enemies in a straight line. The first enemy hit is dealt on-hit effects and can aggro minions. The first two casts of Steel Tempest is a short-range skill shot where Yasuo lunges and damages enemies in a straight line. Steel Tempest is a physical damage skill shot that has a charge system that changes the ability’s effect on the third cast. This is extremely strong when combined with his Last Breathe’s buff which grants armor penetration on all critical strikes after a successful cast. The second part is Intent which doubles the critical strike chance of Yasuo but decreases his critical damage output. You will win most of the time because of the shield. Play aggressively when your Flow bar is full and force trades. The first part is Resolve which grants Yasuo a shield whenever he is damaged when he has full Flow. Flow is Yasuo’s resource that is restored through moving and is also automatically filled up when he uses his ultimate, Last Breathe. Mortal Reminder – Punish those who build and stack armor items against you with this item which grants the highest amount of armor penetration and it applies Grievous Wounds as well.Death’s Dance – Increases the time you can fight head-on against enemies thanks to its physical vamp and Cauterize passive that converts a portion of burst damage into DPS.Guardian Angel – Protect yourself from shutdowns and allow yourself more room for aggressive plays using the resurrect passive of this item.Infinity Edge – Grants you a huge damage boost and its Infinity passive counteracts the critical strike damage penalty from your Intent innate passive.Although, almost any of the other upgrade options work well with Yasuo. Upgrade with the Teleport Enchant if you want to play as a split pusher or upgrade with the Quicksilver Enchant because you are weak against CC’s. Gluttonous Greaves – this boots grants physical vamp.Immortal Shieldbow – Grants physical vamp and bonus critical rate that boosts Yasuo’s damage overall, while also having survivability whenever his HP drops to 35%, thanks to the shield that it provides.This item build can grant him the hypercarry status when well and ahead, This is the standard build for Yasuo Wild Rift which is a balance between offensive and defensive capabilities.
