Yasuo vs Ahri

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Yasuo is a medium agency melee skirmisher who needs minion waves for mobility and to control space against Ahri.
Deny Ahri a calm scaling lane by using Q and E aggressively to pressure her and avoid giving her safe Ahri E angles.

Trading pattern

Stack Q and dash through minions with E to engage short trades and bait Ahri's Ahri E.
Use W to block Ahri Q and Ahri W damage, especially when Ahri commits forward.
Commit on knockup threat from your second Q tornado to follow up with R if Ahri is airborne.

Danger windows

Yasuo is vulnerable when W and passive shield are down; avoid extended trades then.
Ahri's Ahri E is lethal when available; avoid stepping into its range without W ready.
When Ahri has Ahri R up, respect her ability to reposition or escape after committing.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike with Q and E to engage short trades before Ahri hits 6.
Avoid extended trades when Ahri has Ahri E available; respect her poke and hold W for key projectiles.
Control minion waves to maintain E mobility and prevent Ahri from safely landing Ahri E or poking with Ahri Q.

Power spikes

Level 2 with Q plus E mobility is a strong early spike for Yasuo trades.
Level 6 unlocks R for high-damage all-ins if you can knock Ahri up.
Respect Ahri's level 6 Ahri R for her increased mobility and pick potential.

Win conditions

Use Q and E to control space and force Ahri into unfavorable trades near minions.
Punish Ahri when she misses Ahri E or uses Ahri R defensively.
Reach level 6 and leverage R on knockups to all-in and snowball lane control.

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