Yasuo vs Kled

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Yasuo aims to control space and mobility using (Q) and (E) to pressure Kled and deny his early all-in attempts.
This is a snowball matchup where Yasuo must avoid giving Kled passive scaling and punish his overextensions.
Adapt defensively by respecting (Q) tether and (W) burst windows to avoid lethal trades early.

Trading pattern

Stack (Q) quickly and use (E) through minions to engage short trades before (W) burst triggers.
Use (W) to block (Q) pull or key projectiles during trades to reduce damage taken.
Punish Kled after he uses (W) or misses (Q) by stepping forward with mobility and damage.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) tether pull and (W) burst autos as lethal all-in windows.
Avoid fighting near Kled's remount timing where he can bait extended trades.
Be cautious when (W) is down and Yasuo's shield is depleted, as mobility and defense are limited.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike to trade aggressively with (Q) and (E) when minions allow safe mobility.
Avoid extended fights near Kled's remount threshold to prevent baited all-ins.
Keep minion waves controlled to maintain (E) mobility and avoid being caught by (Q) pull.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q)+(E) combo for strong trades; use it when cooldowns and wave state favor you.
Level 6 (R) enables all-ins on airborne targets; track knockup availability and commit only with confirmed setup.
First completed item increases Yasuo's damage and wave control; pressure more confidently but remain aware of Kled's counters.

Win conditions

Use (Q) and (E) to control space and force Kled into unfavorable trades, denying his early snowball.
Capitalize on Kled's missed (Q) or forced (W) cooldowns to secure kills or wave pressure.
Reach level 6 with knockup ready to execute all-ins or roams, leveraging Yasuo's mobility and damage to snowball lane and impact side lanes.
