Kled vs Yasuo

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Kled must pressure Yasuo early to deny his scaling and prevent him from freely using (E) mobility around minions.
This lane is a snowball matchup where Kled's early all-in and remount threat can dominate Yasuo's medium lane pressure.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing (Q) to pull Yasuo in and commit with (W) burst autos while it's active.
Punish Yasuo's cooldowns by engaging when his (W) is down, reducing his ability to block your (Q).
Use remount timing to bait Yasuo into overcommitting, then punish aggressively before he can react.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is up, as it blocks many of your projectiles and reduces your trade effectiveness.
Avoid fighting while dismounted without a safe remount path, as you are vulnerable to Yasuo's burst and mobility.
Respect Yasuo's level 6 (R) window, especially if he has knockup access, to prevent lethal all-ins.

Early game

Force early melee contact with (Q) tether to start trades before Yasuo can stack (Q) and use (E) mobility effectively.
Avoid extended fights when (W) is down or if you miss (Q), as Yasuo can punish your reduced burst window.
Keep the wave in a state that limits Yasuo's ability to dash through minions for mobility and escape.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Use unlocked (Q), (W), and (E) to force early all-ins and snowball lane pressure.
Level 6: Use (R) to engage from long range with team follow-up, increasing kill pressure and roam potential.
Respect Yasuo's level 2 (Q)+(E) combo and level 6 (R) knockup follow-up by avoiding trades when these are available and ready.

Win conditions

Snowball early by landing (Q) pulls and following up with (W) burst, using remount to extend fights Yasuo thinks he can win.
Deny Yasuo wave control to limit his (E) mobility and force him into unfavorable trades.
Use (R) to create side-lane pressure or team engages once ahead, leveraging your early lane dominance into map impact.
