Vex vs Yasuo

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Vex is a high agency anti-dash burst mage who aims to control Yasuo's mobility with her passive fear.
Apply lane pressure early to deny Yasuo safe scaling and punish his reliance on minion waves for mobility.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing your passive fear, then follow up with Q and E for burst damage.
Punish Yasuo when his Yasuo W (Yasuo W) is down by casting key abilities.
Avoid trading when Yasuo's second Q tornado knockup is available, as it enables his all-in with R.

Danger windows

Yasuo is dangerous when his second Q tornado knockup is ready and he can follow up with R.
Respect Yasuo W cooldown; when it's down, you can safely engage with abilities.
Yasuo is vulnerable when lacking minion waves to dash through or when Yasuo W and passive shield are down.

Early game

Use your passive fear to start trades and proc electrocute before Yasuo can stack his Q.
Avoid extended fights without your R reset, as you lack mobility outside it.
Keep Yasuo off minion waves to limit his E mobility and reduce his all-in threat.

Power spikes

Vex's major spikes are level 6 with R and first completed AP burst item.
Yasuo's major spikes are level 2 with Q plus E mobility and level 6 with R if knockup access exists.

Win conditions

Win by using your passive fear to disrupt Yasuo's dashes and burst him before he can engage.
Deny Yasuo minion wave access to limit his E mobility and all-in potential.
Use R to engage or reset trades, maximizing your burst and lane pressure to snowball the lane.

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