Just picked up Yasuo in Wild Rift and need a few pointers? Read on for our guide on the Unforgiven and you'll be dominating the midlane in no time at all.
Runes
Yasuo's gameplan lies in taking rather long trades with the enemy midlaner, all while using his dashes to avoid taking to too much damage. Yasuo is able to build up Conqueror charges rather quickly, which lets him deal added damage.
Yasuo is quite fragile, so take Triumph, as it will help you get out of sticky situations alive.
Conditioning may well mean that you'll have to keep a low profile for the first 5 minutes of the match, but will give you a healthy stat boost afterwards.
Sweet Tooth will help you make it through difficult laning phases, thanks to the added healing offered by its fruits. The bonus gold is also welcome, since it reduce the time it takes for you to get your items.
