[2.1a] The Only Detailed Yasuo Guide [Plat- Gold Elo]

Passive Skill

Way Of The Wanderer : Yasuo 's Critical Strike Chance is increased. Additionally, Yasuo builds toward a shield whenever he is moving. The shield triggers when he takes damage from a champion or monster.

Steel Tempest : Thrusts forward, damaging all enemies in a line. On hit, grants a stack of Gathering Storm for a few seconds. At 2 stacks, Steel Tempest fires a whirlwind that knocks Airborne. Steel Tempest is treated as a basic attack and scales with all the same things.

Wind Wall : Creates a moving wall that blocks all enemy projectiles for 4 seconds

Sweeping Blade : Dashes through target enemy, dealing magic damage. Each cast increases your next dash's base Damage, up to a max amount. Cannot be re-cast on the same enemy for a few seconds. If Steel Tempest is cast while dashing, it will strike as a circle. 

Last Breath : Blinks to an Airborne enemy champion, dealing physical damage and holding all Airborne enemies in the area in the air. Grants maximum Flow but resets all stacks of Gathering Storm. For a moderate time afterwards, Yasuo 's critical strikes gain significant Bonus Armor Penetration Blinks to an Airborne enemy champion, dealing physical damage and holding all Airborne enemies in the area in the air.

Beyblade : Sweeping Blade > Steel Tempest > [Flash]

• Must do in quick succession. The moment you press Sweeping Blade straight away Press [Flash] and Steel Tempest together. 
• When you get the third stack of Steel Tempest you can use this combo. 
• If the combo succeed, the enemy will be airborne and you can Last Breath away

Airblade : Steel Tempest > Sweeping Blade > Steel Tempest > Last Breath  

• This combo needs your 3rd stack of Steel Tempest when it's 1.5 sec left. Basically 75% left on the stack timer. 
• It's almost the same as beyblade but, you will apply the 2nd form of Steel Tempest when Last Breath  
• By the end of the combo, you will have your Steel Tempest ready. It's super deadly and you can 1V1 any ADC or APC (Mid carry)

Keyblade : Steel Tempest > Sweeping Blade > Steel Tempest > Flash > Sweeping Blade > Steel Tempest > Last Breath  

• Your first skill must be stacked. At the 3rd stack, you start off with Beyblade Sweeping Blade > Steel Tempest > Flash
• But you must make sure your Steel Tempest is on 1.5s left before the stack dies.
• After beyblade, you can do use your Sweeping Blade and Steel Tempest before they land and you Last Breath straight away.
• This combo is super advanced, those with enough mastery and understanding of Yasuo 's kit can and should be able to do this combo. It's super clean and very deadly. 

You can already know if the game is in your favor at the champ select

1. Assess the situation : know what items to pick up. If the enemy team have a lot of tanks, you want to pickup Mortal Reminder , Death's Dance and Guardian Angel . If the enemy team has a lot of Squishies. You can go All Crit with Bloodthirster  
2. Is it a split pushing game or skirmishes game? : Decide what kind of game you want to play, if the enemy team have a lot of roamer, you might want to splitpush so that you can pickoff 1v1 or 2v2. Don't go OVERCONFIDENT EVEN IF YOU HAVE CORE ITEMS AND FED. Always assess the situation first. 
3. Synergy : Malphite has the best synergy with Yasuo . Any champ that can knock up the enemy team is  Yasuo 's friend. 
4. Fighting near DRAKE : Try to fight near DRAKE and minions, so that you can stack up your Steel Tempest and do your combos. MAKE SURE YOUR FLASH IS UP

These warding spots are exclusively for Yasuo Mid. And the reason why the picture above is High Noon Yasuo because of the SFX the skins have. The Steel Tempest gives out a gunshot SFX, it might seem miniscule, but it can affect the enemy midlaner's mentality. 

So let's get down to it

There are a lot of warding spots that you can learn. But i think you should know a few warding spots to improve your game. 

 • Enemy blue sentinel (Start of the game)

 • Scuttle crab view (each time you push the wave into enemy tower)

 Dragon lane side (scuttle 🦀)

Baron lane side (scuttle 🦀)

• Drake/Baron exit (After you got your Statikk Shiv so you can 1v1

 Drake exit

Baron exit

• Mid lane side bush (laning phase)

Always ward near turret(enemy turret)

 Your turret

• Enemy Raptors/Raptors exit (every time you want to push enemy turret)

 Raptors exit

Raptors

• Enemy Red Sentinel (After enemy turret destroyed), before is also plausible.

Vision to Red camp

Gives vision to Red camp and Raptors camp

• Drake (Scuttle Crab ward), Helping your jungler gain momentum

 • Blue sentinel exit (Protecting your ADC, Sp and Tank from getting ganked)

You can either ward near enemy Blue camp or Drake. Either way it's their blue exit

Ward either near your blue camp or Baron. It will protect your Jungler's momentum and path

These wardings will determine how you will play throughout the game. Is it aggresive or defensive? 

• Notes : This warding spots is throughout Early - Mid Game. Try to help your jungler invade the enemy camp. 
• For example, if the enemy jungler is at Red camp, try to take their Blue camp. That will disrupt their momentum and you will gain momentum. 
• REMEMBER! : each little victory will snowball into total victory. 

By this phase you should be able to get Statikk Shiv .

You are a lot stronger and can 1V1 the enemy midlaner and ADC. You can also do the Beyblade combo

Try to gank other lanes and get objectives. Compete for scuttle 🦀 

Always try to land your Last Breath   

Please. Always. You have massive amount of power to push the wave. Which gives you ample time to gank and kill.

The best you can do is Sweeping Blade and Steel Tempest at this phase. Do a lot of Airblade.

Try to poke the enemy midlaner and push. Try to 'gank' other lanes and ward their jungle. 

If the enemy midlaner is a hard matchup, just farm under turret

During this phase, you are the strongest. You can 1v3 or 1v5 if you're strong enough. 

But don't make a mistake. It's very crucial for you to not die. If not it's game over. Try to land Airblade and Keyblade. The 4th and 5th item is very situational. Like I mention before. Assess the situation first. 

• Sweeping Blade almost has no cool down. It's almost instant. But the moment you dash on to a target. There's a 2s cool down which you can see at their feet. A circle that indicates the cool down. 
• Steel Tempest can be reset when it's 0.5s left on the cool down by Sweeping Blade to any monster or minion or enemy champion.
