Yasuo vs Lucian

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) and (E) to maneuver through minions and close distance for knockup setups.
Avoid extended trades without (W) shield as Lucian's burst punishes immobility.
Deny Lucian's short-range burst by forcing fights near minions to leverage mobility.

Trading pattern

Stack (Q) through minions, dash with (E) to engage, and commit on knockup for (R) follow-up.
Punish Lucian when (E) is down by stepping up aggressively near minions.
Use (W) to block (Q) poke and burst, then trade quickly before cooldowns reset.

Danger windows

Vulnerable when (W) shield and passive flow are down; avoid trades during this window.
Respect (E) dash for quick burst trades; punish cooldown but avoid his engage timing.
Watch for (R) channel to finish targets pushed out of position; sidestep to avoid damage.

Early game

Contest level 2 to unlock (Q)+(E) combo and threaten early trades.
Use minion waves for (E) dashes to dodge (Q) poke and reposition.
Avoid overextending before (W) and passive shield are ready to block key projectiles.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q)+(E) combo, enabling stronger short trades and all-ins near minions.
Level 6 grants (R) for lethal follow-ups on airborne targets; track knockup availability.
First completed item increases damage and trade reliability; pressure waves and trades more confidently.

Win conditions

Use knockup combos to force all-ins or roams when (R) is available.
Maintain minion wave presence for (E) mobility and to punish Lucian's short range.
Pressure Lucian post-first item to deny farm and force recalls, leveraging superior skirmish potential.

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