Irelia vs Yasuo

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Irelia controls lane pressure by leveraging minion waves for Q resets and extended trades.
Deny Yasuo safe scaling by forcing fights when his Yasuo W is down and he lacks minion mobility.

Trading pattern

Stack passive and use Q resets through low-health minions to engage around E stun or R mark.
Punish Yasuo after he wastes Yasuo W or when he cannot dash with Yasuo E.
Avoid committing without Q reset paths or when E and R are unavailable to prevent being punished.

Danger windows

Yasuo is dangerous when his second Yasuo Q tornado knockup is ready for R follow-up.
Respect Yasuo W cooldown as it blocks key projectiles.
Avoid engaging when Yasuo has minion wave access for Yasuo E dashes and Yasuo W is available.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike with Q and E to threaten stuns and extended trades.
Avoid fighting Yasuo when he has Yasuo W up or can easily dash through minions with Yasuo E.
Keep the wave in a state that allows Q resets to maintain mobility and healing.

Power spikes

Irelia's major spikes: level 2 with Q and E, level 6 R, and first completed fighter item.
Yasuo's major spikes: level 2 with Q and E mobility, level 6 R if knockup access exists, and first completed item.

Win conditions

Use minion wave control to create Q reset paths and force extended trades with E or R marks.
Capitalize on Yasuo W downtime to land E stun and commit all-in.
Convert early lane pressure into side-lane or skirmish advantage by snowballing after successful trades.

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