Yasuo vs Aurelion Sol

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Yasuo should pressure early and deny Aurelion Sol's scaling by using aggressive wave control and trades.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup where Yasuo must exploit early agency to prevent Aurelion Sol from reaching his power spikes.

Trading pattern

Stack (Q) and use (E) through minions to close distance and threaten knockups for all-in trades.
Use (W) to block Aurelion Sol's main poke abilities and commit only when knockup is guaranteed.
Punish Aurelion Sol's low early game by forcing short trades before he can scale or complete key items.

Danger windows

Yasuo is vulnerable when (W) and passive shield are down; avoid trades in these windows to prevent being punished.
Respect Aurelion Sol's poke and waveclear cooldowns to avoid taking excessive damage before level 6.
Be cautious of jungle ganks when pushing aggressively; use wave control to minimize overextension risk.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike to engage with (Q) plus (E) combo for strong trades before Aurelion Sol has full kit access.
Keep fights close to minions to maintain (E) mobility and avoid poke from Aurelion Sol's abilities.
Avoid extended trades when (W) is down as Yasuo loses key defensive tools.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlock of (Q) plus (E) combo enables Yasuo to force trades and all-ins; use this window aggressively.
Level 6 (R) unlock allows Yasuo to follow up on knockups for lethal combos; track ultimate cooldown for decisive engages.
First completed item significantly boosts Yasuo's damage and wave control; increase pressure and punish Aurelion Sol's cooldowns then.

Win conditions

Snowball early by using (Q) and (E) to control space and force Aurelion Sol off farm before he scales.
Use knockup combos and (R) to secure kills or force summoner spells, denying Aurelion Sol safe scaling.
Maintain wave presence near Yasuo's side to keep mobility options and pressure, preventing Aurelion Sol from freely farming or roaming.
