Yasuo vs Taliyah

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Yasuo is a mobile melee skirmisher who needs minion waves to use E for mobility and short trades.
Control space with Q and E near minions to pressure Taliyah and deny her safe poke and roam windows.

Trading pattern

Stack Q and use E through minions to engage quickly, then block key projectiles with W.
Punish Taliyah when her W or E are down by committing to knockup combos and all-ins.
Avoid dashing predictably into Taliyah's E zone to prevent displacement and slows.

Danger windows

When W is down, Yasuo is vulnerable to Taliyah's poke and displacement.
Without minion waves, Yasuo loses E mobility and becomes susceptible to Taliyah's E and W.
Respect Taliyah's W and E cooldowns as they set up her strongest punish and crowd control.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike to start short trades by stacking Q and dashing through minions.
Avoid extended trades when Taliyah has W and E ready to punish dashes or forward movement.
Keep the wave on your side to maintain E mobility and prevent Taliyah from safely poking or roaming.

Power spikes

Level 2 with Q and E unlocks Yasuo's mobility and knockup threat.
Level 6 R allows Yasuo to follow up on knockups for strong all-ins.
First completed item boosts Yasuo's damage and survivability in trades.

Win conditions

Use Q and E to control space and pressure Taliyah near minions, denying her safe poke.
Capitalize on missed W or E to engage with knockups and R for decisive all-ins.
Maintain wave control to keep mobility and prevent Taliyah from roaming or setting up her poke safely.

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