Yasuo vs Akshan

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Yasuo is a melee skirmisher who relies on minion waves for mobility and short trades to control space.
Yasuo should pressure Akshan early to deny his ranged bully style and prevent calm scaling.

Trading pattern

Stack Q and dash through minions with E to close distance and threaten knockups.
Use W to block Akshan Q and mitigate poke during trades.
Commit to all-ins when Akshan's Akshan E is on cooldown or missed.

Danger windows

Yasuo is vulnerable when W is down and passive shield is depleted.
Respect Akshan R as a lethal all-in threat.
Be cautious when minion waves are absent to dash through, limiting Yasuo's mobility.

Early game

Use Q and E from level 2 to engage in short trades and maintain lane control.
Avoid extended fights without W as Yasuo is vulnerable to Akshan's poke.
Punish Akshan when he uses Akshan E to engage and misses or is interrupted.

Power spikes

Level 2 with Q plus E mobility is a strong early spike for Yasuo trades.
Level 6 R is a major power spike if you can land a knockup.
First completed item significantly boosts Yasuo's damage and survivability.

Win conditions

Use Q and E to control space and force Akshan into unfavorable trades.
Punish Akshan's missed or interrupted Akshan E to secure kills or lane dominance.
Exploit knockup combos to enable R for decisive all-ins and snowball the lane.

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