K'Sante vs Yasuo

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Control the lane by managing (Q) stacks and using terrain angles to threaten displacement and isolation.
Deny Yasuo the minion wave setups he needs for mobility and aggressive trades to limit his early agency and scaling.

Trading pattern

Trade only when (Q3) is ready and (W) is available to absorb burst and control space.
Punish Yasuo immediately after he uses (W) or when he lacks minions to dash through with (E).
Avoid trading without (Q) stacks or (W) as Yasuo can punish cooldown windows with his mobility and knockup threat.

Danger windows

Respect Yasuo's second (Q) tornado knockup and (R) follow-up as lethal all-in opportunities.
Be cautious when (W) is down, as Yasuo has no reliable way to dodge your crowd control and damage.
Avoid using (R) into unfavorable duels where Yasuo's mobility and burst can punish your reduced durability.

Early game

Focus on farming safely while stacking (Q) and using (W) to interrupt Yasuo's engage attempts.
Avoid extended trades without (Q3) or (W) ready to prevent being outmaneuvered by Yasuo's mobility.
Use controlled short trades around (Q) stacks to chip Yasuo before level 6.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) only when you can isolate Yasuo near terrain for a favorable duel or peel play.
After first tank item, leverage increased durability to front line and pressure Yasuo around (Q) stacks and (W).
Respect Yasuo's level 2 combo and level 6 (R) availability; avoid giving him clean all-in windows or knockup setups.

Win conditions

Use your tank form to absorb damage and control space while stacking (Q) for empowered trades.
Only commit with (R) when you can isolate Yasuo near terrain to secure a winning duel or force him out.
Deny Yasuo wave control and mobility by controlling minion positioning and punishing cooldowns to prevent his scaling and roam threat.
