How to play

General

  1. You start with Guardian's Horn. Your #1 rush should be item that counters enemy team most (MR or Armor item). Get Jak'Sho as #2 item. Then adapt.
  2. Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for very long time (or even have it as 6th item).
  3. You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
  4. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
  5. Play around your empowered Q. Try hitting valuable targets/engaging/catching people. Even holding it, so enemy can see it has great value, because they won't be so prone to going in.
  6. Do not be shy and do not wait for 'special moment'. You have great engaging tools - empowered Q + R. Check who on your team has any knockups/knockbacks and try coordinating with them to R (i.e. Gragas, Janna, Darius).

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. Always keep stacking your Steel Tempest (Q).
  2. Always keep walking to stack your Way of the Wanderer (Passive). This way, you maximize your sustain.

Riot

  1. Dash through a minion to have Sweeping Blade available to chase your opponent should they flee; Dash directly to your opponent to preserve a minion as your escape route.
  2. At level 18, Yasuo's Steel Tempest reaches its Attack Speed cap with 55% Attack Speed from items.
  3. Last Breath can be cast on any target that is knocked Airborne, even by one of your allies.
