Yasuo vs Aurelion Sol

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Yasuo is a melee skirmisher who must use Q and E to control space and pressure Aurelion Sol early.
Deny Aurelion Sol a passive lane by using your mobility to force short trades and punish his weak early game.

Trading pattern

Stack Q and dash through minions to engage short trades, using W to block key Aurelion Sol Q poke.
Punish Aurelion Sol when he misses Q or W as he relies on them for damage and waveclear.
Commit to all-ins only after landing your Q tornado knockup to enable R follow-up.

Danger windows

When your W is down, avoid trades since you cannot block Aurelion Sol's poke effectively.
Without minion waves, your E mobility is limited, making you vulnerable to poke and controlled wave states.
Respect Aurelion Sol's upgraded R and item spikes in mid-late game to avoid getting caught in his roaming or teamfight control.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike with Q and E to all-in before Aurelion Sol has his full kit.
Keep minion waves close to maintain E mobility and avoid getting poked by Aurelion Sol's Q and E.
Avoid extended trades when your W is down as you lose your main projectile block.

Power spikes

Level 2 with Q and E grants strong all-in threat before Aurelion Sol scales.
Level 6 R unlocks powerful kill potential if you can knock Aurelion Sol airborne.
First completed item increases your dueling power and survivability in trades.

Win conditions

Use early level 2 all-ins and mobility to deny Aurelion Sol farm and force him behind.
Maintain wave control to preserve E mobility and create knockup opportunities for your R.
Punish Aurelion Sol's reliance on Q and W by dodging and engaging when they are on cooldown to snowball lane advantage.
