Yasuo Build Guide for Wild Rift

How to play Yasuo

Yasuo is a mid-lane attack damage assassin. He is a melee champion and can struggle a lot in the early game when trying to walk up and last hit minions. Once you hit level 5 and get Last Breath, you can look to stack your Steel Tempest until you get your tornado. When your tornado is ready, you can look to knock up the enemy to try and get a solo kill or you can roam around the map with his aggressive play style. Yasuo works really well with a team that has knock-ups as you can use your Last Breath on any knock-up that your team does.

Yasuo Build Breakdown.

Berserker's Greaves

Blade of the Ruined King

Essence Reaver

Mortal Reminder

Infinity Edge

Guardian Angel

Yasuo works well with Attack Damage and Attack Speed items that give Critical Strike Chance. Thanks to his passive Way of the Wanderer, Yasuo doubles his items' Critical Strike Chance, meaning he'll get 100% Critical Strike Chance from just 2 items, and any Crit items after that will convert into bonus Attack Damage. 

For runes, we have the following:

Grasp of the Undying

Grasp of the Undying helps Yasuo win short trades by dealing bonus damage and healing for a small amount. Grasp also gives Yasuo scaling health every time you proc it, making you a bit more difficult to kill in the mid/late game.

Courage of the Colossus

With Yasuo Steel Tempest on the 3rd cast, you can knockup enemy champions. This will give you a shield to help win duels and survivability in teamfights.

Second Wind

Second Wind offers an insane amount of healing, which is doubled for melee champions and helps you when taking early trades.

Bone Plating is great when playing against burst-heavy champions that want to fully engage.

Perseverance

Perseverance reduces incoming damage when Yasuo gets hit by any crowd control, helping with his survivability.

Legend: Alacrity

Alacrity gives Yasuo attack speed. Yasuo benefits a lot from attack speed. Not only does it allow him to attack faster, but it also reduces the cooldown of Steel Tempest.

Flash

Ignite

For summoner spells, Flash is a must on most champions. It's a great spell to get out of a situation or if you are trying to go in for the killing blow. For the 2nd spell, it's best to go for Ignite. This helps Yasuo to get an early advantage in the laning phase and helps him deal extra damage.

Early Game

Yasuo struggles a bit in the early game as a melee champion. Most of the time you want to stay back and wait for the enemy champion to push the minion wave under your tower. You can walk up to minions early on when you have your Way of the Wanderer shield up and available so you don't take damage to your health. Once you hit Level 5, this is where you can potentially look for the all-in and try and kill the enemy mid-lane. If you can't find the opportunity in the mid lane, you can try to roam around the map and use your Ultimate in the side lanes.

Late Game

When you reach the mid and late game and get a few items, this is where Yasuo can start to become useful since you have quite a lot of mobility and crowd control. When you are grouped with your team and about to have a team fight, the best thing you want to do is get to their backline where you can kill the enemy carries. Always keep an eye on your teammates, especially ones that have a knock-up as you can follow it up with your Ultimate. You can also use your Wind Wall to block damage and abilities to help you and your team.

Conclusion

Overall Yasuo is a very fun and mobile champion to play with the ability to out-play the enemy team and win the fight with some insane combos and knock-ups. At times it might be difficult to play Yasuo as he has a high skill gap but once you practice him a few times you can carry.
