Yasuo vs Naafiri

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Yasuo is a mobile skirmisher who needs minion waves to use E for mobility and short trades.
Pressure Naafiri early to prevent her from safely landing Q poke and setting up W all-ins.

Trading pattern

Stack Q and dash through minions to control space and threaten knockups.
Use W to block Naafiri Q poke but respect that it won't block all damage.
Punish Naafiri when she commits W into crowd control or after she wastes mobility cooldowns.

Danger windows

Naafiri is dangerous when her Q poke has lowered your health and W is available for a committed engage.
Avoid fights when your W and passive shield are down.
Be cautious during Naafiri R windows when she has pack support for chase and burst.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike with Q and E to trade aggressively before Naafiri commits.
Avoid extended trades when W is down to reduce risk from Naafiri's poke and all-in.
Keep minion waves healthy to maintain E mobility and punish Naafiri's predictable W engage path.

Power spikes

Yasuo's major spikes: level 2 Q+E mobility, level 6 R after knockup, and first completed item.
Respect Naafiri's level 6 R which empowers her chase and burst.
Watch for Naafiri's first lethality item spike increasing her poke and all-in threat.

Win conditions

Use Q and E to maintain mobility and control lane space near minions for knockup setups.
Deny Naafiri's Q poke by blocking with W and punishing her W engages with crowd control.
Exploit Naafiri's predictable W engage path and cooldowns to force short trades and all-ins on your terms.

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