Yasuo vs Aurora

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Yasuo is a mobile melee skirmisher who needs minion waves to maintain his E mobility and engage safely.
Pressure Aurora early to deny her scaling by punishing her low range and dodging her long Aurora E animation.

Trading pattern

Stack Q and dash through minions with E to engage and control space for short trades.
Use W to block key projectiles but be ready to disengage if Aurora uses W invisibility to reposition.
Punish Aurora after she uses W or if she misses Aurora E, as these are her main escape and damage tools.

Danger windows

When W is down, Yasuo is vulnerable to Aurora's burst damage and repositioning.
Yasuo is at risk if caught without minion waves for E mobility.
Be cautious during Aurora's level 6 burst window and when her W is available for escape.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike with Q plus E to trade aggressively before Aurora can safely reposition.
Avoid extended trades when W is down to minimize risk from Aurora's burst.
Maintain wave control to ensure mobility and prevent Aurora from farming safely.

Power spikes

Level 2 with Q and E unlocks Yasuo's main trading pattern and mobility.
Level 6 R is a major spike when you can capitalize on knockups for all-ins.
Aurora's level 6 ultimate and first AP item spike require respect and more cautious play.

Win conditions

Use Q and E to control space and force short trades near minions to maintain mobility and pressure.
Punish Aurora's W cooldown and long Aurora E animation to deny her farm and picks.
Secure knockups to enable R all-ins and snowball lane dominance.

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