Naafiri vs Yasuo

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Naafiri wants to control the lane with Q poke and punish Yasuo after his mobility or Yasuo W cooldowns are down.
Pressure Yasuo to avoid giving him calm scaling and mobility advantages from minion waves.

Trading pattern

Start trades with Q poke to apply bleed and create health advantage.
Commit W and E only when Yasuo W is down and he lacks minions to dash through.
Avoid engaging when Q misses or Yasuo W is available to block your damage.

Danger windows

Yasuo is most dangerous when his second Yasuo Q tornado knockup is ready for R follow-up.
Avoid committing W when Yasuo W is up or his passive shield is active.
Be cautious when Yasuo has minions nearby to dash through with Yasuo E for mobility and engages.

Early game

Use Q to poke Yasuo early and force him to waste Yasuo W or passive shield.
Avoid committing W until Yasuo W or mobility cooldowns are spent.
Keep the wave in a state that denies Yasuo easy E dashes through minions.

Power spikes

Level 6 R greatly enhances Naafiri's chase and burst potential.
First lethality item spikes Naafiri's damage and poke threat.
Yasuo's level 2 Q plus E mobility allows him to trade aggressively; respect this early power spike.

Win conditions

Win by chipping Yasuo with Q and punishing isolated or low-health targets with R-enhanced all-ins.
Deny Yasuo's mobility by controlling minion waves and timing W engages after his Yasuo W cooldown.
Snowball kills by exploiting Yasuo's lack of crowd control to block your W engage.

Tip: For Naafiri vs Yasuo, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
