Renekton vs Yasuo

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Renekton should leverage his high early game agency and lane pressure to deny Yasuo a passive scaling lane.
Prioritize short burst trades with stacked fury to snowball before Yasuo reaches his mid-game power spikes.

Trading pattern

Trade aggressively only when fury is high and (W) stun is available to punish Yasuo's cooldowns.
Use the second (E) cast to safely exit trades, avoiding extended fights where Yasuo's mobility and knockup threaten.
Punish Yasuo when his (W) is down or when he lacks minions to dash through, limiting his escape options.

Danger windows

Respect Yasuo's threat when his second (Q) tornado knockup is available, as it enables his (R) all-in.
Avoid extended trades or fights when (W) shield is up, as it blocks key projectiles and reduces your burst.
Be cautious after using both (E) casts forward, as you lose your main escape and become vulnerable to Yasuo's mobility.

Early game

Use level 1-3 waves to stack fury and execute quick trades with (E) plus empowered (W) before Yasuo unlocks his full combo.
Avoid extended fights early when Yasuo has (W) shield and mobility from minions for dashes.
Control wave state to limit Yasuo's mobility and prevent him from freely dashing through minions.

Power spikes

At level 3, use full (Q), (W), (E) combo with fury to secure early lane dominance and force Yasuo back.
At level 6, activate (R) to add health and pressure Yasuo into unfavorable all-ins after chipping him down.
Respect Yasuo's level 2 (Q)+(E) combo by avoiding trades when his cooldowns and spacing favor him.

Win conditions

Use early wave control and fury-stacked empowered trades to snowball and deny Yasuo's scaling.
Convert short trade leads into all-ins with (R) when Yasuo is low or trapped under wave pressure.
Maintain lane priority to force Yasuo into risky positions and prevent him from using minion mobility effectively.
