How to play it

✓ DO

Respect his E

His E kites you down the lane — don't chase, because the moment your Q's move speed fades he turns, re-engages, and runs you down while it's on cooldown.

Your window

With the wave mid-lane or on your side, auto his passive shield off then open Q for a short trade — he has no sustain to heal it back.

You outscale him

Garen outscales Yasuo hard — but keep fighting him in lane so he can't proxy or free-farm, and stack Grasp whenever he isn't extended-trading you back.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never chase Yasuo down the lane when he kites — he turns and runs you down the instant your Q's move speed wears off.
