item 3046 item 3031 item 3072 item 3111 item 3742 item 3065. SV can be replaced for item 3156 if more damage than tank is desired.

Bruiser yasuo is best yasuo.... take scaling AD runes though.

For midlane Yasuo, item 3087 is a rookie mistake and a situational item. Only get it when you are massively ahead and there is no chance of anyone getting tanky enough to survive an ulti combo.

item 3046 and item 3031 are CORE. AS, Crit, Extra crit damage to balance out your passive, AD, and Damage Reduction for diving and skirmishing.

Next is item 1053. Get that for now to build it fully into a item 3072 third item. It is good for Lifesteal and Skirmishing Shield.

Normal boots are item 3006 but you can get item 3111 or item 3047 if you are feeling the need for it.

Next would be another damage item.

  • item 3156 is one of the best choices for him. You can go item 3139 or item 3074 for more lifesteal.
  • You can go item 3153 for Tank Shred although it is only really that useful if you have 2 or more tanks that you need to burn down. After the update to it, it will be a ton better for him.
  • You can also get item 3036 or item 3033 for the PEN. item 3814 is getting nerfed soon, and really, it does not provide enough to be useful after that.

Next is your Tank Item.

  • item 3026 is by far the best tank item. It gives him both resistances as well as a fucking revive. If he dies from taking a sick as fuck ulti, then you can just revive while your team cleans up.
  • If you want more armor and health than mixed stats, get item 3742. For Armor, you can also get the usual things, item 3143 or item 3075 oritem 3068.
  • If you want MR, get item 3065 as you should have a item 3156 and item 3072 by then. I wouldn't waste your money on item 3102 because you can get more lifesteal from item 3065. You get enough MR from item 3156 and item 3065 that you don't need to get a full item 3102.

That leaves us at:

  • item 3046 (maybe item 3087)
  • item 3006 (or item 3111, item 3047)
  • item 3031 (CORE AS SHIT)
  • item 3072 (Kind of Core)
  • Damage Item. (item 3139,item 3156,item 3074,item 3153,item 3036, oritem 3033)
  • Tank Item. (item 3026 is freelo, for MR item 3065, and for Armor item 3742.

Situations call for different things. It is your job to understand how each of these items fit into his buildpath and how each of them affects the overall functionality of his build. Here are some general stuff to build on him.

Against duelists, you cannot have Stattick Shiv or Rav. These guys need to be kited around minions until you get third Q, and Stattick Shiv and Tiamat kill the minions too quickly.

Generally, uncontrollable waveclear is not ideal on Yasuo because it limits his mobility and Q charging.

If you get ahead, you can burst the fuck out of people and then use whatever advantage you get to push the lane.

I have only done this once, and I ended up selling my items because we were beginning to throw.

In all builds your choice of boots varies between beserker's, mercs, or tabi. I generally prefer a defense boot to the berserker's.

item 3046 item 1001 item 3031 item 3072 item 3022 item 3026 Standard build, good in most situations, helps blunt burst so you can lifesteal it back, has a decent mix of DPS and burst. Just a solid build all around. If you are very fed you can get a triforce early on in place of a frozen mallet. Depending on the game you may also prefer a maw of malmortius to the GA or the mallet as well.

item 3046 item 1001 item 3153 item 3031 item 3143 item 3065 The duelist build. Very good DPS but relatively low burst, it is also a very good build for dueling and chasing (I expect this build to be even better with the new blade of the ruined king). I take it when I want to have dueling priority on my laning opponent while splitpushing, especially if I'm ahead. I run it against fat assholes like Nasus or Tryndamere, strong splitpushing duelists, and this build helps a lot when ahead. It's also a good build if your ADC is someone who falls off against tanks late game in relative terms (like Jhin or Corki) and you want to have strong DPS in team fights late game. This build's DPS and durability allow you to function in the role of primary tank-shredder in team fights well.

item 3087 item 3672 item 3078 item 3031 item 3072 item 3053

Assassin Yasuo. Relatively low DPS but a lot of burst, this build can blow squishies up extremely quickly, though this build is also one of the squishier Yasuo builds, due to the lack of PD and GA (which can replace sterak's, as can a mercurial, depending on game).

These are just a few general builds as a guideline. You should alter your build depending on who is in the game and how it is going.
