Yasuo vs Vex

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Yasuo is a mobile skirmisher who needs minion waves to maintain mobility and engage safely.
Yasuo must pressure Vex early to prevent her from using passive fear effectively and deny her lane control.

Trading pattern

Stack Q and dash through minions with E to engage short trades, using W to block Vex Q projectiles.
Punish Vex when her passive fear is down or missed by committing to knockup combos.
Avoid trading when W or passive shield is down as Yasuo is vulnerable to Vex's burst and fear.

Danger windows

Vex's passive fear creates dangerous windows to avoid dashing recklessly.
Yasuo is vulnerable when W and passive shield are down; avoid trades then.
Vex is immobile without R reset, so pressure her when it's on cooldown.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike with Q and E to trade aggressively before Vex hits 6.
Avoid extended trades when W is down to reduce vulnerability to Vex's burst.
Maintain minion wave control to enable E mobility and avoid point-and-click CC punishments.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 2 with Q+E mobility, Level 6 with R after knockup, and first completed item.
Respect Vex's Level 6 R engage and her first completed AP burst item for potential all-ins.
Yasuo's mobility and knockup combo are key to contesting Vex's burst windows.

Win conditions

Use Q and E to control space and force Vex to miss passive fear, enabling safe trades.
Capitalize on minion waves for mobility to dodge Vex's burst and engage knockup combos.
Punish Vex's fear cooldowns and immobility outside R windows to secure kills or lane dominance.

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