// MATCHUP STRATEGY

vs Garen — TOP

vs Garen — bruiser threat. Outplay with mobility — they sustain too much for stat-check. Pick fights at full HP.

EARLY · 1-6
Laning phase

Yasuo early lane is short-trade duelist. Start Doran's Shield + 2 pots. Look for level 2 spike with Q + W or Q + E combo.

Freeze near tower if matched into a heavy CC top. Track jungler — skirmishers die to gank pressure. Use mobility to dodge CC skillshots.

MID · 7-13
Roam & trade

Divine Sunderer + Plated Steelcaps is your spike. Mobility kit = roam mid post-6 or flank objective fights. Death's Dance 2nd item = 1v2 sidelane threat.

Divine Sunderer % max-HP damage shreds tanks. Conqueror + Lethal Tempo stacking gives sustain in extended trades.

LATE · 14+
Teamfights

Backline diver. Yasuo dashes through frontline to kill ADC. Sterak's Gage tenacity + GA second life = guaranteed pickoff.

Build Death's Dance vs AD comp. Maw of Malmortius vs AP comp. Avoid fighting in melee range with team — dive carry only.
