Yasuo vs Azir

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Yasuo is a melee skirmisher who must use Q and E to control space and pressure Azir's mid-range soldier zone.
Deny Azir a calm, controlled farming lane by forcing fights before his DPS and R defensive power spike.

Trading pattern

Stack Q and dash through minions to engage and threaten knockup combos.
Use W to block Azir Q poke and soldier damage when committing.
Punish Azir when his E is down or used aggressively, as his escape and shield are then weaker.

Danger windows

Yasuo is vulnerable when W and passive shield are down; avoid trades then.
Respect Azir R as it can isolate or push Yasuo away during all-ins.
Be cautious when minion waves are absent, limiting E mobility and escape options.

Early game

Use level 2 Q plus E mobility to engage short trades before Azir sets up soldiers.
Pressure Azir early to disrupt his stable wave and soldier placement.
Avoid extended fights until you have minion waves for mobility and W for key projectile defense.

Power spikes

Yasuo spikes at level 2 with Q plus E mobility and at level 6 with R if knockup is available.
Respect Azir's level 6 Azir R R for disengage and displacement.
Azir's first completed item powers his soldier DPS, increasing his threat in extended trades.

Win conditions

Use Q and E to control space and force Azir into unfavorable trades before he scales.
Exploit windows when Azir's E or R are on cooldown to all-in or pressure heavily.
Deny Azir safe farming by disrupting soldier placement and maintaining lane pressure.

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