I've recently started playing Yasuo (Ik I should kms) and I was wondering what items are the best for him atm and for the coming up patch. I understand that item 3046 item 3031item 3072 are ideal but I'm not too sure what to get after I get the items. Could I get some builds for situations or just any help? Thanks!

Always rush item 3165

Then choose

  • item 3001 if they have ad
  • item 3085 if they have ap
  • item 2051 if they play non-cancerous champions

item 3158 are best boots, the cdr is super helpful so you can dash more often item 3003 for if you find yourself running out of mana too frequently item 3151item 3135 is good if the enemy is building a lot of MR item 3041 if you are having a good game item 3157 if you are playing against zed item 3504 if you have a highly auto attack reliant team this is always a good item item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 best build for when you fall behind

Edit: almost forgot the kappa

A common Yasuo build in a game where he isn't stomping but isn't doing bad is usually Two crit items > Lifesteal > Two defensive/ defensive-offensive hybrid items.

item 3087 If you want more damage instead of the dueling/chasing power of PD. Yasuo doesn't really need the waveclear from Shiv, so PD usually wins out item 3022 Still absolute cancer on him. Take if you're top/ or behind in mid for the extra health item 3026 This is an extremely common buy, but with the changes coming in soon, we don't know. Most say that he will enjoy it even more.

Honestly, Yasuo can build pretty much anything that isn't an AP item and do relatively well with it. Some of the complainers also note this: the absolute flexibility of his item pool. Of course, some items are better than others, and other buys would be completely questionable, but you usually want to start off with your crit items and then build into your defensive choices however the game looks so you won't be blown up by any semi-competent team the moment you dive them. They have AP damage and annoying CC? item 3139. item 3033 for teams with sustain out of their ass. item 3742 to get places faster. They have a Tryn, Jhin, Cait or a fed ADC? item 3143 Really anything works, you just have to observe what's the situation of both teams and build accordingly, as with any other champion. The only difference is, of course, Yasuo's item pool pretty much covers everything that isn't AP or Thornmail.
