Yasuo vs Kassadin

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Yasuo is a medium early agency melee skirmisher who wants to pressure Kassadin's low early lane presence.
Deny Kassadin safe farm and scaling by using Q and E to control space and force short trades.

Trading pattern

Stack Q and dash through minions to engage short trades before Kassadin hits 6.
Use W to block Kassadin's Kassadin Q poke and Kassadin E slow projectiles.
Punish Kassadin when his Kassadin Q shield or Kassadin R is down by committing to knockup and R all-in.

Danger windows

Kassadin is dangerous post-6 when he can use Kassadin R for burst and escape.
When Yasuo's W is down, he is vulnerable to Kassadin's poke and burst.
Yasuo is at risk if he lacks minion waves for E mobility, making him easy to punish.

Early game

Use level 2 Q plus E mobility to pressure Kassadin before he hits 6.
Abuse Kassadin's weak wave control by pushing and forcing him under tower.
Avoid extended trades when Kassadin has Kassadin Q shield or Kassadin R available.

Power spikes

Yasuo's level 2 Q plus E mobility enables early pressure and short trades.
Yasuo's level 6 R is a major spike if you can knock Kassadin airborne.
Kassadin's level 6 Kassadin R grants him burst and mobility that must be respected.

Win conditions

Use Q and E to control space and prevent Kassadin from farming safely.
Force Kassadin into short trades before level 6 to deny scaling.
Capitalize on knockup combos to execute R all-ins when Kassadin's Kassadin R is on cooldown.

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