Master Tier Analysis

Your Win Condition

Kill him after Level 3. Prevent his R follow-up.

General Strategy

Yasuo wins Level 1-2 (Lethal Tempo, Q spam). His Wind Wall (W) is worthless against Darius's abilities. You need to mix kiting and staying in his face. EQ combo is necessary to guarantee Q landing.

Trading Patterns

Use E pull when he uses his third Q tornado; this stuns him, preventing him from using R (Ultimate). This is his weakest point.

Wave Management

Their Win Condition

Level 1/2 strength. Using third Q tornado to set up ultimate.
