Yasuo vs Qiyana

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Yasuo is a mobile skirmisher who needs minion waves for E mobility and wants to fight close to minions to control space.
Pressure Qiyana early to deny her element setup and terrain access, preventing her from using R effectively.

Trading pattern

Stack Q and dash through minions to trade safely, using W to block Qiyana's Q element poke.
Punish Qiyana after she uses Qiyana E without lethal threat by committing short trades.
Avoid trading when Qiyana has the correct element set or near terrain where her burst and R are stronger.

Danger windows

When Yasuo's W is down, he loses key projectile defense and is vulnerable to Qiyana's burst.
Fighting near terrain or brush increases risk from Qiyana's R stun and burst.
Qiyana's R terrain stun and Qiyana E dash after her element setup create lethal all-in windows to respect.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike with Q and E to poke and dodge Qiyana's Qiyana E dash attempts.
Avoid fighting near terrain or brush where Qiyana's R and element advantage are strongest.
Maintain wave control to keep minions for E dashes and prevent Qiyana from roaming easily.

Power spikes

Yasuo's level 2 with Q and E mobility is a strong early trading spike.
Yasuo's level 6 R is a major spike if knockup access is available.
Respect Qiyana's level 3 element setup and first lethality item spike for burst trades.

Win conditions

Use Q and E to control space and punish Qiyana's E cooldowns before she can commit.
Deny Qiyana access to terrain and brush to reduce her R threat.
Reach level 6 with knockup ready to all-in after disrupting Qiyana's element setup and cooldowns.

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